The present invention is to provide calixcrown derivatives of formulae 1 to
3 requisite for the preparation of a self-assembled monolayer as well as a
process for the preparation thereof. Further the present invention is to
provide a self-assembled monolayer which is produced by immersing a gold
substrate or related metal substrate in an organic solution containing
said calixcrown derivatives of formulae 1 to 3. Still further the present
invention provides a process for fixing a protein monolayer by fixing
proteins having molecular weight of not less than 20,000D (20KD) on said
self-assembled monolayer.
