Thus, rod-like nanoparticles are preferred in many applications. However, their synthesis is more complicated than the synthesis of nanospheres since the

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared from dilute solutions of multidentate

Next, a 0.01 mM solution of multidentate thiol was injected into the liquid cell. As time progressed, molecular-level details of the surface

The multidentate molecules have a more complex assembly pathway than monothiol counterparts, mediated by sequential steps of forming S

The presence of the three hydroxyl groups in THMA ensures multidentate binding to the ZnO surface and is likely to facilitate hydrogen-bonding type interactions with surface-adsorbed hydroxyls under our surface
