The charge number per adsorbed molecule and surface concentration of 2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-1-octaethyleneglycol-D,L-alpha-lipoic acid ester (DPOL) at a Au(111) electrode surface was investigated by chronocoulometry using two different film deposition methods. First, a known amount of the thiolipid was transferred from the air-water interface of a Langmuir trough onto the gold electrode surface via a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition. The charge density measurements for this monolayer system were used to determine the charge number per adsorbed DPOL molecule (electrosorption valency). The observed electrosorption valency values of the adsorbed DPOL film were much lower than the expected number of transferred electrons for a simple reductive desorption process. In the second deposition method, charge densities were measured for the electrode covered by a self-assembled DPOL monolayer. The electrosorption valency values determined from the LB DPOL film were used to calculate the packing density of the DPOL molecules within the self-assembled monolayer. The surface concentration of the molecules within the thiol monolayer with octaethylene glycol chains gave similar results to a related thiolipid with tetraethylene glycol chains (DPTL). This new finding indicates that both of these molecules (DPTL and DPOL) assume a brush conformation in densely packed self-assembled monolayers. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
