Received: 20 September 2011; in revised form: 10 October 2011 / Accepted: 17 October 2011 / Published: 19 October 2011 Abstract: The synthesis of five light absorbing triazolobithiophenic thiols, which were utilized for producing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold surfaces, is presented. The monolayer formation was monitored by cyclic voltammetry, indicating excellent surface coverage. The new triazolobithiophenic compounds exhibited an absorption maximum around 340 nm, which is close to the emission wavelength of a standard nitrogen laser. Consequently these compounds could be used to aid ionization in laser desorption mass spectrometry (MS). Keywords: light absorbing SAMs; DIAMS MS 1. Introduction Light absorbing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) offer very interesting properties for various scientific and technical applications [1-6]. Some of the latter are photo-switch systems [5,7], light detectors [8], and light to current/energy convertors [1,9-11]. Furthermore, SAMs have been proposed to aid ionization in laser desorption MS.
