Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of photoresponsive molecules yield a wide range of applications, for example, for optical devices. At present the SAMs usually consist of small anchor groups based on symmetric disulfids or thiols and large functional groups. However, the densely packed arrangement of these molecules on substrates causes a steric hindering for photoisomerisation. Hence, larger anchor groups or molecules with more than one anchor group are necessary to provide more space between the functional groups. For this purpose we have recently synthesised molecules consisting of a photoresponsive functional and two anchor groups. The functional group is based on azobenzene-derivatized 1,2-dithiolanes which can be switched between their cis and trans isomers. In this contribution we present fundamental adsorption studies of these molecules and the SAM formation, investigated by means of optical second harmonic generation. We demonstrate that for a concentration of 50 µmol/l the second order Langmuir kinetics describes the adsorption best. For a deeper insight of the involved processes concentration dependent measurements as well as ellipsometry and scanning-tunnelling microscopy have been conducted.
