Abstract

One of the most common methods employed to tune the properties of a surface consists of the formation of a monomolecular layer of organic species, possessing a thickness of up to a few nanometers [1–13]. Molecules that form monolayers are normally more or less strongly adsorbed or even covalently bound to a surface. In fact, the adsorption of species on surfaces is a spontaneous phenomenon, since clean electrode surfaces are frequently thermodynamically unstable in a real environment, due to the presence of dangling bonds. Adsorption of molecules leading to mono- and multilayers reduces the overall energy of the system consisting of not interacting substrate and adsorbed species.
