The synthesis of the catenane components, a dithiol and a cyclophane, are described using previously reported methods. 1-3 The preparation techniques used to obtain a self-assembled dithiol monolayer and a self-assembled catenane monolayer from dilute solution onto a gold's surface are also reported. Grazing angle reflectance infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the selfassembled dithiol and catenane monolayers. The infrared spectra revealed evidence for the existence of the dithiol monolayer and possible evidence for the existence of the catenane monolayer. A catenane transmission film spectrum was obtained to provide evidence for the existence of the catenane itself. When the transmission and the monolayer spectra were compared, shifts in a few of the absorption bands revealed some association between the dithiol and the cyclophane. / Department of Chemistry
