The high-coverage isotherms of Lando and Slutsky for neopentane and tetramethyl silane on gold films are analysed on the basis of a slab model for adsorbed layers. It is possible to fit the data to an inverse cube law for surface energy if a structure relaxation term, as proposed by Adamson and Ling, is introduced. The cube law coefficients so obtained are approximately an order of magnitude larger than the theoretical values.
