The surface structures, defects and dynamics of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) are reviewed. In the case of the well-known c(4 x 2) and root 3 x root 3 R30 degrees surface structures, the present discussion is centered on the determination of the adsorption sites. A more complex scenario emerges for the striped phases, where a variety of surface structures that depends on surface coverage are described. Recently reported surface structures at non-saturation coverage show the richness of the self-assembly process. The study of surface dynamics sheds light on the relative stability of some of these surface structures. Typical defects at the alkanethiol monolayer are shown and discussed in relation to SAMs applications.
