Fig. 3 — Patterns stemming from self-sorting of equimolar blends of different fluorinated (F) and hydrogenated carbon (H) thiols on surface of gold NPs. Equilibrium morphologies were predicted from CG simulations in explicit solvent. Note that C8, C12, and C16 refer to the full length of C ligand alkane chains, while F6 and F10 refer only to the number of fluorinated carbons in F thiols, with the full chains being 8 and 12 carbons in length, respectively; m and n indicate the number of F and C chains in the monolayer, respectively. Solvent omitted for sake of clarity. Color code: gray, H ligands; green, F ligands. [Adapted with permission from (Şologan et al. 2016b). Copyright (2016) American Chemical Society]
