1,6-Hexanedithiol

1,6-Hexanedithiol (1,6-Dimercaptohexan) is a long-chain, bifunctional alkanethiol with a serrated structure of six carbon atoms that is primarily used to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to anchor surface atoms on a variety of substrates, and is also used in the synthesis of rubbers, food flavors, and reagents for organic synthesis.
