Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) has been used to perform a chemical analysis of long‐chain thiol (CH 3 (CH 2 ) 11 SH)‐treated gold, silver, copper and platinum surfaces. All the mass peaks from positive and negative ion spectra within the range m / z = 0–2000 u are studied. ToF‐SIMS data revealed that on gold, silver and copper substrates 1‐dodecanethiol form dense standing‐up phases, but on platinum being a catalytically active substrate, we were able to identify also surface‐aligned parallel lying molecules in addition to a standing thiolate layer. Our study shows that when ToF‐SIMS spectra are analyzed, not only the existence of oligomers but also metal + hydrocarbon fragments give information about the order of SAM.
