What is 6-Mercaptohexan-1-ol?
Chemical properties
Colorless to light yellow liquid
The Uses of 6-Mercaptohexan-1-ol
6-Mercapto-1-hexanolcan be used as a chemical linker for anchoring biological molecules to gold surfaces.
The Uses of 6-Mercaptohexan-1-ol
This compound is used to produce hydrophilic SAMs. The resulting monolayers which are terminated with alcohols can be further functionalized with various groups even when attached to gold nanoclusters.
The Uses of 6-Mercaptohexan-1-ol
MCH is coated on a piezoelectric crystal which can be used for the fabrication of chemical sensor to differentiate between cheese varieties. Self assembled monolayers of MCH can be used on gold surfaces for bio-sensing applications. It can also be used as a monolayer for the surface modification of gold-polyaniline (Au-PANI) nanocomposites for the development of aptamer based biosensors (aptasensors).
General Description
6-mecapto-1-hexanol (MCH) forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with identically represented C6 spacer. MCH is a tool for surface coating that enables blocking of active sites and non-specific absorption.
