AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a method to strongly attach molecular species to metal oxide semiconductors, specifically TiO2 nanoparticles.
- It utilizes interfacial diazo coupling between surface-bound amines and aromatic compounds, facilitated by a siloxane anchor and a diazo linker.
- This technique offers a cost-effective, stable, and adaptable way to modify metal oxide surfaces with various molecules.
Article Abstract
Robust surface attachment of molecular species to metal oxide semiconductors is desirable for many applications. Here, we report the interfacial diazo coupling of surface-bound amines with aromatics to bind them to the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles via a siloxane anchor and a diazo linker. The technique shows potential for the inexpensive, stable, modular and tunable attachment of molecules to metal oxide surfaces.
