Increasingly Conjugated Nanoparticles
Larger fractions of conjugated FBT make ligand shell more polarizable;
ε demonstrates corresponding increase
Similar trends are observed in other molecule series as well
Thermodynamic interpretation
Molecules in SAMs form a
specific angle with the surface
normal in order to maximize van
derWaals interactions.
• One can define a vector (from
the attachment point to the
projection of the molecular head
group) to describe the molecular
position.
What is the Vectorial
Order in SAMs?
What is a topological
sphere?
