摘要
Mass spectrometry was performed on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of dodecanethiol on gold using the new direct analysis in real time (DART) ionization technique. Observed peaks for the SAMs included monomers, dimers, and trimers of the SAM molecules, with the dimer and trimer relative peak heights enhanced as compared to the spectra for neat dodecanethiol. The possibility that the observed peaks were due to residual (noncovalently bonded) material on the surface was tested by attempting to observe residual dodecanol. No peaks corresponding to dodecanol were observed. These results indicate that DART is an excellent ionization method for the direct and unambiguous mass analysis of chemical species in self-assembled monolayers.
