Diazonium grafted oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) monolayers suitable for single molecule conductance studies have been prepared. The surface-bound OPE is prepared from the amino tolan, 4-(2-(4-(2-(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl)ethynyl)benzamine, which is converted to the diazonium derivative in situ, and subsequently attached to a gold substrate using conventional cathodic electrochemical grafting. Multilayer formation is avoided by the presence of the bulky triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) protected ethynyl group. After removal of the TIPS group by treatment with fluoride, the film, now bearing exposed terminal acetylene moieties, is further functionalised by reaction with 1-iodo-4-acetylthiobenzene using Sonogashira coupling chemistry, to create sites bearing a strongly aurophilic top-contacting group. The success of these surface reactions is confirmed using Raman spectroscopy (gap-mode and SHINERS, employing gold nanoparticles and SiO2 coated gold nanoparticles, respectively). It is shown that such thiolate-modified, diazonium-grafted monolayers are suitable for STM-based molecular junction conductance measurements.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are nanoscale sources of light and electrons, which are highly relevant for their extensive applications in the field of photocatalysis. Although a number of research works have been carried out on chemical reactions accelerated by the energetic hot electrons/holes, the possibility of reaction pathway change on the plasmonic Au surfaces has not been reported so far. In this proof-of-concept study, we find that Au NPs change the reaction pathway in photooxidation of alkyne under visible light irradiation. This reaction produces benzil ([sbnd]CO[sbnd]CO[sbnd]) without the presence of Au NPs. In contrast, as indicated by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) results, the C[sbnd]C triple bonds ([sbnd]C[tbnd]C[sbnd]) adsorbed on Au NPs are converted into carboxyl ([sbnd]COOH) and acyl chloride ([sbnd]COCl) groups. The plasmonic Au NPs not only provide energetic charge carriers but also activate the reactant molecules as conventional heterogeneous catalysts. This study discloses the second role of plasmonic NPs in photocatalysis and bridges the gap between plasmon-driven and conventional heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract: A variety of aliphatic and aromatic S-esters of thiocarboxylic acids have been tested for antimicrobial activity. The relationship between the chemical structure of the compounds R1SC(O)R2 and their toxicity for microorganisms has been revealed, and the effect of various functional groups on the antimicrobial properties has been shown. The cooling lubricant IKhP-45E with S-aryl thioacetate additives has been tested. It has been shown that the additives used (0.25–0.5 wt %) inhibit the growth of all the studied microorganisms; however, their activity with respect to fungi is higher. The introduction of S-aryl thioacetates provides the resistance of these oils to microbiological deterioration to retain the physicochemical properties for a long period of time.
