Treatment of a gold surface with a solution of C18H37HgOTs under ambient conditions results in the formation of a covalently adsorbed monolayer containing alkyl chains attached directly to gold, Hg(0) atoms, and no tosyl groups. It is stable against a variety of chemical agents. When the initial dep...
