The blue ovals (S1-S6) represent the different structural states of BMHT monomers. Hcy represents homocysteine, Bet represents betaine, Met represents methionine, Dmg represents dimethylglycine, and TS represents the assumed transition state of the substrate.
1-Dodecanethiol, also known as n-dodecyl mercaptan or lauryl mercaptan, is an alkyl thiol (a molecule containing a sulfur-hydrogen bond attached to a carbon chain) with 12 carbon atoms. It's a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid at room temperature and has a mild, skunk-like odor.
a) S 2p XPS signals for VHF 2 SAMs. b) Optical images of water droplets on surfaces of DHA 1 (left) and VHF 2 (right) SAMs, and revers- ible wettability transitions as a function of alternating thermal treatment and UV irradiation. c) Optical transmission spectra of rGO films with a series of film thicknesses. Inset, a ≈7 nm-thick rGO film transferred onto quartz for transmission measurement. d) Optical and AFM images of rGO films transferred onto bottom electrodes. The ultrathin flexible rGO film follows the topography of the electrode patterns and ensures a good contact to the SAMs at the bottom of the microholes. The texture of the film is clearly visible.
Methyl oleate is a fatty acid methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of oleic acid with methanol. It is functionally related to an oleic acid.

1,3-Cyclobutadiene (C₄H₄) is a highly reactive and unstable organic compound that consists of a four-membered carbon ring with alternating single and double bonds, specifically at the 1 and 3 positions. Due to its antiaromatic nature — having 4 π-electrons in a conjugated planar system — it experiences significant electronic instability, which leads to rapid dimerization or reaction with other species under standard conditions. The molecule exists transiently in the gas phase or at very low temperatures and has a rectangular rather than square geometry, as predicted by molecular orbital theory to relieve some of the antiaromatic strain. 1,3-Cyclobutadiene is of considerable interest in theoretical and organometallic chemistry, particularly in studies of aromaticity, bonding, and as a ligand in metal complexes where its stability can be enhanced through coordination.
