16-Mercaptohexadecanoic acid (CAS 69839-68-5) is a long chained alkanethiol which forms self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a variety of surfaces, which can be used in the fabrication of nanoresonators for shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced raman spectroscopy.  It can also be used to surface modify gold electrodes that can be used for sensitive detection of clozapine.
