Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of carbonyl-containing alkanethiols on gold are employed to explore the influence of hydrogen-bonding interactions on gas-surface energy exchange and accommodation. H-bonding, COOH-terminated SAMs are found to produce more impulsive scattering and less thermal accommodation than non-H-bonding, COOCH₃-terminated monolayers. For carbamate-functionalized SAMs of the form Au/S(CH₂)₁₆OCONH(CH₂)_n-1CH₃, impulsive scattering decreases and accommodation increases as the H-bonding group is positioned farther below the terminal CH₃.
