It is well-known that alkanemonothiols form well-ordered, tilted arrangements with tilt angles of around 30 °.60 Spectroscopic measurements have shown that the tail group has an impact on the tilt angle of thiol ligands, due to steric constraints and interactions between the tail groups. Tilt angles of dithiol ligands and their structure in general are not as well investigated as those of monothiols, but the general structure of alkanedithiol SAMs is expected to be similar to alkanemonothiol SAMs. An exception to this are the ordering of the structures, as dithiol SAMs were shown to be less ordered than monothiol SAMs in experimental studies by Jiang et al., among others, and possibly the tilt angle.
