Building Conjugated Organic Structures on Si(111) Surfaces via Microwave-Assisted Sonogashira Coupling
A novel step-by-step method employing microwave-assisted Sonogashira coupling is developed to grow fully conjugated organosilicon structures. As the first case study, p-(4-bromophenyl)acetylene is covalently conjugated to a p-(4-iodophenyl)acetylene-derived irionolayer on a Si(111) surface. By bridging the two aromatic rings with C C, the pregrown monolayer is structurally extended outward from the Si surface, forming a fully conjugated (p-(4-bromophenylethynyl)phenyl)vinylene film. The Film growth process, which reaches 90% yield after 2 h, is characterized thoroughly at each step by using X-ray reflectivity (XRR), X-ray standing waves (XSW), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The high yield and short reaction time offered by microwave-assisted surface Sonogashira coupling chemistry make it a promising strategy for functionalizing Si surfaces.
