Аннотация:Thiol-containing compounds represent a key structural motif in the self-assembled monolayers of thiolates on gold. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the formation of the complex on a Au(111) surface. Our study determines all potential energy barriers for the formation of the complex and reveals the anisotropic nature of diffusion barriers for methylthiolate and gold adatoms on the reconstructed surface. We also discuss the most probable mechanisms underlying the formation of the complex.
