Modification of surfaces with self-assembled mono-layers (SAMs) represents a powerful and innovative tool for adjusting physical and chemical properties of surfaces. The adsorption of isomeric molecules with relatively strong and oppositely oriented molecular dipoles on a flat silver surface is investigated in order to adjust its work function in a desired way. Time-offlight secondary ion mass spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to prove that both isomers (i) chemisorb on a silver surface as thiolates and (ii) exhibit comparable surface densities. Densely packed surfaces of both SAMs are additionally investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and effective surface passivation is observed. Co-deposition of both derivatives is shown to enable effective and fine adjustment of the surface work function value within a range of 1V.
