16-Amino-1-hexadecanethiol hydrochloride

VerwendenThis aminoalkanethiol can be utilized for the surface modification of gold nanoparticles. The amino groups introduced by the aminoalkanethiols on the gold surface are usually modified with amine reactive materials such as proteins or other biomaterials. The longer alkane chain helps form a more stable self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface due to the greater Van-der-Waals forces between alkane chains.
