monomolecular
One molecule only
Monomolecular describes something consisting of or involving a single molecule.
In chemistry, a monomolecular layer is exactly one molecule thick—the thinnest possible coating on a surface.
A monomolecular reaction involves only one molecule transforming without colliding with another: The decay followed monomolecular kinetics.
