The effect of aromatic rings on the orientation and packing of SAMs (self‐assembled monolayers) on gold is investigated in this paper. Terminally aryl‐substituted eicosanethiols and eicosylthiophenols as well as the oligo(arylalkyl) thiol shown in the Figure are examined. It is shown that the tilt angle may be influenced by the incorporation of aryl groups and densely packed, highly ordered SAMs are obtained.
