Exchange reaction of a decanethiol self-assembled monolayer with porphyrin disulfides observed by surface plasmon enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy
Abstract
The treatment of a decanethiol SAM with a solution of a porphyrin disulfide gives a SAM inlaid with the porphyrin chromophores adopting J-aggregate-like partially stacked and well oriented structures by site-selective exchange reaction in the SAM.
