A New Family of Molecules for Self-Assembly: The Carboranes (1 of 2)

Caption

Schematic showing relative dipole orientations for the carboranethiol isomers, M1 and M9. The M1 molecule's dipole is oriented nearly parallel to the surface of the SAM, while the M9 molecule's dipole is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the SAM. The arrows point in the direction of positive charge.
