A locally organized monolayer film strongly attached to a gold surface is obtained by transfer of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film of octadecylamine (ODA) or alcohol (ODOH) onto a Au surface and simultaneous oxidative electrografting of this film still in contact with the aqueous subphase. As opposed to LB films, these films resist ultrasonication; and unlike electrografted films, they are organized monolayers by construction. They are characterized by AFM (atomic force microscopy), water contact angle, ellipsometry, XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), IRRAS (infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy), and GIXD (grazing incidence X-ray diffraction).
