OccurrenceReported found in boiled beef.

Uses1,6-Hexanedithiol is used in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It is used in synthetic rubber and food with spices. It is also used in Food Flavor, Tobacco Flavor, Blending edible flavors: Beef, poultry soup .

UsesHDT can be used to functionalize molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), which can be used as a two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) in electronics and optoelectronic devices. It forms a SAM on gallium arsenic (GaAs) doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs), which can be used for biosensors and solar applications. It can also be used to immobilize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for potential usage in biomedical and bioanalytical applications.

General Description1,6-Hexanedithiol (HDT) is a long chained bi-functional alkanethiol with 6 carbon atoms structured in a zig-zag pattern, which forms a tetrahedral configuration. It forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a variety of substrates and immobilizes the surface atoms.
