Covalently functionalizing mechanical exfoliated mono- and bilayer graphenides with λ-iodanes led to the discovery that the monolayers supported on a SiO substrate are considerably more reactive than bilayers as demonstrated by statistical Raman spectroscopy/microscopy. Supported by DFT calculations we show that ditopic addend binding leads to much more stable products than the corresponding monotopic reactions as a result of the much lower lattice strain of the reactions products. The chemical nature of the substrate (graphene versus SiO ) plays a crucial role.
