Conformation and orientation: The formation of self‐assembled monolayers (SAM) of hexadecyl phosphate on macroscopically flat TiO 2 surfaces is studied by using IR spectroscopy (see picture). The evolution of a well‐organized monolayer structure can be readily monitored from the conformational and orientational ordering of the alkyl chains.
