Thiol exchange : A new approach to fabricate strongly heterogeneous mixed self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) is presented. The mixing occurs by the exchange reaction between a one‐component SAM and a suitable second component. The exchange reaction is promoted and precisely tuned by preliminary electron irradiation. As a validity test, mixed aliphatic–aromatic SAMs and templates comprised of active molecules and matrix molecules (see picture) are prepared.
