In this critical review, we look at how the functionalization of solid substrates by self-
assembly processes provides the possibility to tailor their surface properties in a controllable …

Organic functionalization of non-oxidized silicon surfaces, while allowing for robust chemical
passivation of the inorganic substrate, is intended and expected to broaden the chemical …

The combination of monocrystalline silicon's well-defined structure and the ability to prepare
hydrogen-terminated surfaces (Si− H) easily and reproducibly has made this material a very …

This review provides a comprehensive survey of the derivatization of hydrogen-terminated,
oxide-free silicon surfaces with electroactive assemblies (from molecules to polymers) …

Click chemistry has played a significant role as a rapid and versatile strategy for conjugating
two molecular fragments under very mild reaction conditions. Introduction of ferrocene …

Covalent functionalization of azide-modified SiO2 with well-defined, alkyne-terminated poly
(N-isopropylacrylamide) was accomplished by the Cu (I)-catalyzed [3+ 2] Huisgen …

The performance of solid substrates is not only governed by their molecular constitution, but
is also critically influenced by their surface constitution at the solid/gas or solid/liquid …

Efficient functionalization of silicon substrates is important for the development of silicon-
based sensors. Organic monolayers directly bonded to hydrogen-terminated silicon …

Supramolecular chemistry has developed into a major research field since the syntheses
and complexation properties of the first crown ethers, cryptands, and spherands were …

We have investigated the electron-transfer kinetics of ferrocene groups covalently tethered
to surfaces of conductive diamond electrodes. Electrochemical measurements show that the …
