1,8-Octanedithiol is a versatile organosulfur compound widely used in:
Dilute with ethanol or THF to desired concentration (typically 1-10 mM for SAMs preparation).
Keep sealed under inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent oxidation.
Procedure: Immerse gold nanoparticles in 1 mM 1,8-octanedithiol/ethanol solution for 24 hours. Rinse with ethanol to remove excess thiol. Resulting SAMs improve nanoparticle stability for biosensing applications.
Application: Add 0.5% w/w 1,8-octanedithiol to polymer precursors. Cure at 80°C for 2 hours to achieve 30% increase in tensile strength.
