High impact information on octylbenzene

• The effect of hydrogen bonds in self-assembled molecules of N,N'-dialkylurea CH3-(CH2)m-NHCONH-(CH2)n-CH3 (m + n = 14) [7 (n = 2)] was visualized by STM at the octylbenzene/graphite interface [1].
• The self-assembled monolayer of bipyridine derivative 1, which has two alkyl chains on each end, at the HOPG/1-phenyloctane interface was studied by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) [2].
• Self-assembled structures of alkoxylated benzo[c]cinnoline derivatives prepared on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite at room temperature from their solutions in solvents such as 1-phenyloctane, toluene, and 1-octanol were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of octylbenzene

• These complexes assemble into ordered arrays at the interface of 1-phenyloctane and the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface, owing to the affinity of the long alkyl chains toward the surface, as revealed by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with molecular resolution [4].
