This paper shows that stable, oriented, polyfunctional organic monolayers can be prepared by the spontaneous organization of structurally complex organic disulfides on polycrystalline goldsubstrates. Chemisorption proceeds to very high coverages, approaching that equivalent to the bulk-phase densities of the adsorbate molecules. The bonding to the surface is also highly specific, inasmuch as the chemisorption of the disulfide moiety is favored greatly over a wide range of other functionality. This latter feature allows the ready preparation of a broad variety of organic surfaces with well-definedmicroscopic and macroscopic characteristics. Several representative examples of monolayer films, are described, their chemicaland thermal properties explored, and their structures characterized by several techniques including infrared and photoelectron spectroscopies.Interest in the properties of thin film organic materials, espe-cially as regards organized mono- and multilayer structures prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett and self-assembly techniques, has grown enormously in recent years. The technological impetus for this rebirth—the relevance of such structures and materials to adhesion, 1 lubrication, 2 microelectronics, 3 photochemical4 and electrochemical5 processes, as well as biological interfaces6—has been discussed extensively and is now well appreciated. Equally important and, as yet, little discussed is the more basic contribution such studies might make to our understanding of the chemistry and physics of surfaces and interfacesin general. For example, to relate even a nominally simple macroscopic property such as wetting to a precise microscopic structure (or even to go in the opposite direction) is enormously difficult at present. 7 More involved interfacial properties and processes are characterized by
