Mixed monolayer organic films via sequential electrografting from aryldiazonium ion and arylhydrazine solutions

Sequential electrografting at glassy carbon from aryldiazonium salt solutions, or an aryldiazonium salt followed by an arylhydrazine, leads to the formation of covalently attached monolayer films incorporating two modifiers. In the first step, a 4-((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl film is electrogr...

Zusammenfassung:Sequential electrografting at glassy carbon from aryldiazonium salt solutions, or an aryldiazonium salt followed by an arylhydrazine, leads to the formation of covalently attached monolayer films incorporating two modifiers. In the first step, a 4-((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl film is electrografted to the surface, followed by removal of the triisopropylsilyl group to give a submonolayer of phenylethynylene groups. Two general strategies can then be applied to "fill in" the sparse monolayer with a second modifier. In the first route, nitrophenyl groups are grafted to the phenylethynylene-modified surface by the oxidation of 4-nitrophenylhydrazine. Ferrocene can be coupled to the terminal alkyne groups on the surface via a click reaction with azidomethylferrocene; an electrochemical measurement of the amount of immobilized ferrocene demonstrates that the phenylethynylene layer retains close to full reactivity after the second grafting step. In the alternative strategy, ferrocene is coupled to the phenylethynylene layer prior to grafting nitrophenyl groups by the reduction of the 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion or by the oxidation of 4-nitrophenylhydrazine. For all approaches, the optimization of the grafting conditions gives surface concentrations of ferrocene and nitrophenyl groups that are consistent with those of a mixed monolayer. The stepwise generation of mixed monolayers is also monitored by film thickness measurements by depth profiling using the atomic force microscope. Thickness values are consistent with the proposed film structure in each preparation step
