Figure : Representative structures from MD simulations with low (left), medium (centre) and full coverages (right). 2, 4, and 8 singly deprotonated 1,10-decanedithiol (10DT) ligands are adsorbed on the Au(111) surface, respectively. A transition from laying-down to standingup ligands can be observed for increasing ligand coverage. While at intermedium coverages half of the ligands dissociated, ligands remained adsorbed at high coverages.
