4-Phenylbenzenethiol

Uses

4-Phenylbenzene-1-thiol is formed in chemical process of monolayers and multilayers of conjugated thiols, α,ω-dithiols, and thioacetyl-containing adsorbates being self-assembled. It is used as an engineered material for electron transport through thin organic films in metal-insulator-metal junction.

General Description

Biphenyl-4-thiol(BPT) is an alkylthiol that forms a self-assembled monolayer(SAM) which can be used as a spacer chain that enhances the adhesion and frictional forces on a variety of surfaces.
