Résumé
We report on the formation kinetics of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) comprising 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA) and 11-mercapto-1-undecanol (MUDO) thiols on GaAs(100) substrates. These compounds were selected for their potential in constructing highly selective and efficient architectures for biosensing applications. The molecular composition and quality of one-compound and mixed SAMs were determined by the Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy measurements. The formation of enhanced-quality mixed SAMs was investigated as a function of the molecular composition of the thiol mixture and the proportion of ethanol/water solvent used during their arrangement. Furthermore, the formation of mixed SAMs has been carried out by successive immersion of MHDA SAMs in MUDO thiol solutions and MUDO SAMs in MHDA thiol solution through the process involving thiol-thiol substitution. Our results, in addition to confirming that water-ethanol-based solvents improve the packing density of single thiol monolayers, demonstrate the attractive role of water-ethanol solvents in forming superior quality mixed SAMs.
