The formation and stability of alkylthiol monolayers on amorphous carbon thin films are investigated. Alkylthiol monolayers were prepared via a two-step, wet chemical process in which the carbon surface was first halogenated and then incubated with (4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanethiol (4tBM). The 4tBM covalently attaches to the surface in a substitution reaction in which the 4tBM thiol replaces the surface halogen. Studies of the substitution mechanism showed that monolayer formation is affected by the nature of the surface-bound halogen as well as the concentration and nucleophilicity of the 4tBM sulfur atom, consistent with a bimolecular (SN2) substitution reaction mechanism. The alkylthiol monolayers are stable over a wide range of solvents, pH, and temperature conditions.
