Abstract
The formation and characterisation of a novel self-assembled monolayer him for gas sensing are reported, The phthalocyanine, exyl-25,25'-(3, 3'-dithiodipropyl)diphthalocyanine, has been synthesised from its hydr oxypropyl precursor, via a two-step reaction. The disulfide functional ity of the molecule has been used to produce a self-assembled phthaloc yanine monolayer on a gold substrate. The phthalocyanine monolayer has been characterised using reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS).
