We investigated the adsorption and desorption behavior of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold derived from dendritic viologen-arranged molecules with an ω-mercaptodecyl group (An,n(dendritic generation) = 0–3) at the apex of the dendritic structure in polar solvents. The adsorption of the dendritic molecules occurred quickly and saturated within a few minutes in an acetonitrile/ethanol (1/1, v/v) mixture at a concentration of 2 mM. Atomic force microscopy images of the SAMs showed flat surfaces regardless of the dendritic generation because the peripheral viologen units were closely packed at the surface of the molecular layer. IndividualA3molecules immobilized on the substrate were observed by scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of a mixed SAM with decanethiol. The desorption behaviors of dendritic molecules from theAn-SAMs in several solvents such as water were also investigated. The spontaneous desorption of theAn-SAM occurred more rapidly than that of a conventionaln-alkanethiol SAM. However, the desorption was inhibited by adding electrolytes such as NaNO3due to the shielding effect on the electrostatic repulsion between the dendritic molecules. These results indicate that the surface density of the dendritic molecules can be controlled through the desorption.
