The synthesis of a variety of symmetrical bis(alkyl) and bis(fluoroalkyl) disulfides as well asmixed alkyl fluoroalkyl disulfides containing ester or amide groups is described. Self-assembled monolayers of these compounds on gold formed by spontaneous adsorption from solution are studied by contact angle measurementsandpolarizedgrazing incidenceFourier transforminfraredspectroscopy (FTIR).
