Fig. 5.13 Schematic representation of a 1,8-octanedithiol chemisorbed at two nearby gold surfaces
and triphenylmethyl protected 1,8-octanedithiol chemisorbed at one end and physisorbed at other
end; b trapped ω-trityl protected 1,8-octanedithiol-coated (ODT) Au NP; and c the junction after
removal of the trityl protective resulting in formation of chemisorbed junctions at both ends of
1,8-octanedithiol. Reproduced with permission from Ref. [36]
