General description

4,4′-Dimercaptostilbene is a dithiol molecule that can be coated on gold (Au) surfaces as it provides a rigid structure and has low susceptibility to chemical interactions. It modifies the surface of gold and enables an increase in enhancement factor (EF) for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
