1-Thio-11-undecanephosphonic acid

Uses

MUP can functionalize gold surface by forming a capped layer that can be used as a surface modified electrode material for the fabrication of sensors for biomedical and other industrial applications.

General Description

11-Mercaptoundecylphosphonic acid (MUP) is an alkyl thiol that forms a self-assembled monolayer on a variety of surfaces. The thiol groups act as the anchor that facilitates the bonding of sulfur molecule to the surface atoms. The phosphoric and trifluoroacetate groups are useful molecules in the detection of monolayers.
