The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold by 2-(5-iodo-2-nitrophenyl) propoxycarbonyl (I-NPPOC)-protected thymidine with an attached mercaptohexyl succinate linker and the kinetics of photochemical release of the I-NPPOC group were monitored using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection. In the XPS spectra, the iodine peaks allowed for specific and accurate monitoring of the presence and loss of I-NPPOC groups on the surface. In the SPR experiment, the overall signal change on photoillumination is in accord with a theoretical estimation of the density of I-NPPOC groups in a dense monolayer. The kinetics roughly follow a biexponential time dependence with two very different time constants, corresponding to photochemical quantum yields of 0.22 and 0.0032, respectively.
