Abstract

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) play an important role in materials synthesis and applications. On page 4894, F. Ding and co-workers illustrate thermodynamic renditions of two immiscible ligands evolving from phase-separated, striped, and mixed initial states on the surface of a gold nanoparticle. While the mixed state is a common endpoint, weakly striped patterns only occur for a subset of molecular systems, and often at short range and low temperatures. This study highlights the contributions of both entropy and enthalpy in determining binary SAM systems.
