Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are ordered
molecular assemblies formed by the chemisorptions
of organic molecules (adsorbates) onto the substrate
surface [1]. SAMs became an interesting topic of
research in past few years as the applications of these
molecular assemblies on metallic surfaces range from
important technological areas such as lubrication,
corrosion, catalysis and optics to biomedicine and
artificial enzymes. Their well-ordered arrays and ease
of functionalization make them ideal for applicability in
many fields. A great interest in monolayer chemistry
and SAMs observed after their successful utilization for
construction of monolayers on metallic or metal oxide
nanostructures, i.e., the formation of three dimensional
SAMs; which has led to probe the applications of these
systems into sensoristic and biomedicine fields [2a-c].
However majority of the studies until now have been
focused on the interactions of alkoxy/chlorosilanes with
-OH terminated oxide surfaces and on the adsorption of
thiols on gold or other metallic surfaces.
