Self assembled monolayers(SAMs) based on a novel dendron thiols system, which maintain the alkanethiols active site, but the —SH group connected with independently variable groups by a dendron linker, showed the controllable surface pattern and wetting property. The precisely tailored structure of dendron thiols with local controlled hydrophobic and hydrophilic peripheries allow the formation of designed surface structures on gold surface, e.g. nano stripes, honeycomb and homogeneous structure.
