Abstract Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with metal electrodes, especially thiols on gold, are the subject of this investigation because of the unique properties of SAM-modified surfaces. Normal alkanethiols are used to modify the surface of a conventional gold electrode to block certain ions such as Pb(II) and Cu(II) from the surface of the electrode. Normal alkanethiols are also used to study the SAM-gold interfacial adsorption-desorption behavior of the self-assembled monolayer. The effects of varying chain length of SAMs, varying concentration of the alkanethiol solutions, immersion time of the pure gold electrode in the SAM solution, and the stability of a SAM-modified gold electrode in fresh chloroform are investigated using the oxidation-reduction peaks of gold. Conditions that optimize the surface coverage and the uniformity of the SAMs have been determined. Normal alkanethiols proved to be a good insulator on the electrode surface.
