After over 150 years of exploiting fossil fuels, nowadays humans are encountering two great
global problems: the increasingly serious environmental pollution and the expected …

The modification of surfaces with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) containing multiple
different molecules, or containing molecules with multiple different functional components, or …

This year, it has been a decade that the concept of “click” chemistry was pioneered in
polymer and material science by the exploration of the synthetic scope of copper-catalyzed …

One-pot multi-step reactions based on thiolactone chemistry emerged as a powerful tool to
prepare tailor-made, multi-functionalized polymer architectures in a one-pot and elegant …

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) …

Here we report on the functionalization of alkyne-terminated alkyl monolayers on highly
doped Si (100) using “click” reactions to immobilize ferrocene derivatives. The reaction of …

Predicting or manipulating charge-transfer at semiconductor interfaces, from molecular
electronics to energy conversion, relies on knowledge generated from a kinetic analysis of …

We demonstrate that water is almost universally present on apparently dry self-assembled
monolayers, even on those considered almost hydrophobic by conventional methods such …
