STM observation of N-octadecylacrylamide and N-octadecylcinnamoylamide monolayers self-assembled on a graphite surface

Abstract

The STM observation of self-assembled N-octadecylacrylamide (ODA) and N-octadecylcinnamoylamide (ODC) on a graphite substrate clarified the head to tail alignment of the molecules and s-trans geometry of the alkene double bond and carbonyl group.
