| Functionalizing organic groups onto oxide-free, hydride-terminated porous silicon surfaces via hydrosilylation chemistry provides an effective route to intelligent interfacial design. These monolayers, bound through direct silicon-carbon bonds are produced via a number of wet, benchtop methods and protect the underlying silicon surface from ambient oxidation and chemical attack. Alkyl monolayers prepared on porous silicon using thermal, microwave, and carbocation-mediated hydrosilylation routes were subjected to a range of chemically demanding environments. Monolayer deterioration and substrate oxidation were monitored via transmission mode Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). |
