George M. Whitesides coauthored experiments controlling the surface order of thiol monolayers on gold. Hydroxyl-terminated chains and mixtures of chain lengths connect molecular organization with surface hydrophilicity.
The chemical identity of a terminal group is only part of the surface specification: packing and the surrounding chains can change how that group is exposed.[ref]
Molecular-Level Control over Surface Order in Self-Assembled Monolayer Films of Thiols on Gold by Colin D. Bain and George M. Whitesides. Abstract: sulfur-bound hydroxyl-terminated films and mixed-chain ordering
