2.1 Background There is already a wealth of information on the wet chemical cleaning of Si
for semiconductor processing,(14, 15) but there is less on subsequent modification methods …

Silicon is an attractive semiconductor material for wide‐ranging applications, from
electronics and sensing to solar cells. Functionalization of H‐terminated silicon surfaces with …

In this article, we report the functionalization of alkyne-terminated alkyl monolayers on Si
(100) using “click” chemistry, specifically, the Cu (I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1, 3-dipolar …

The synthesis of “rim-differentiated” C 5-symmetric pillar [5] arenes, whose two rims are
decorated with different chemical functionalities, has remained a challenging task. This is …

Zwitterionic poly (sulfobetaine acrylamide)(SBMAA) brushes were grafted from silicon-rich
silicon nitride (Si x N4, x> 3) surfaces by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and …

Hybrid materials that link light capture and conversion technologies with the ability to drive
reductive chemical transformations are attractive as components in photoelectrosynthetic …

Very stable and bright emitting amine-terminated Si nanoparticles (NPs) with different alkyl
chain lengths between the Si core and amine end-group are synthesized. The obtained NPs …

We present a study of the photochemical hydrosilylation of freestanding silicon nanocrystals
(Si-NCs) using a near-UV source. The impact of reaction with alkenes and alkynes was …

On H− Si (111), monolayer assembly with 1-alkenes results in alkyl monolayers with a Si−
C− C linkage to the silicon substrate, while 1-alkynes yield alkenyl monolayers with a Si …

Thiol–ene click chemistry was used for the attachment of a variety of functional molecules
onto oxide-free Si (111) surfaces using very mild conditions; the efficient nature of this …
