Hexadecanethiol is a long-chain alkanethiol commonly used in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces. It is synthesized through a reaction between hexadecanol and thioacetic acid. Due to its strong binding affinity to gold, hexadecanethiol forms highly ordered and stable SAMs, acting as a protective layer and modifying the surface properties of gold. These SAMs are studied for their applications in fields like nanoscience, electronics, and biomedicine. Hexadecanethiol SAMs find use in the fabrication of nano-devices, corrosion protection, and biomolecule immobilization.'
