4-Aminothiophenol

4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) was employed as bifunctional molecule to functionalize gold nanoparticles (NPs) used in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of thrombin by protein recognition.It may be used in the following studies As a water insoluble ligand in the synthesis of pectin4-aminothiophenol conjugates. To functionalize gold nanorods (GNR) in the development of GNR nitrite sensor. To functionalize gold nanorods (GNR) in the development of GNR nitrite sensor. To generate amino terminated self-assembly monolayers(SAMs) on platinum electrode which forms the base for attachment of single-wall carbon nano tubes (SWCTs)

4-Aminothiophenol (p-aminothiophenol PATP) is an aromatic thiol. The self-assembly of silver and gold nano particles which are interconnected with 4-ATP to form metal-molecule-metal sandwich architecture has been characterized by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using an off-surface plasmon resonance condition.Chemical transformation of PATP to 44-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) has been extensively studied.
