Molecular grafting on Si(111) surfaces: An electrochemical approach

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

This works addresses the question of the direct attachment of organic molecules on Si(111) by an electrochemical method. Anodic grafting of -OR group is demonstrated by in-situ STM and the LDOS characterized. The grafting of aryl groups, by reduction of aryl diazonium salts in aqueous solution, is also described. This approach leads to well ordered and close-packed thin molecular films with various functionality. Different chemical and structural characterizations conclude to a Si-C binding, between the Si surface and aryl groups. The stability of films is also investigated.
