Controlled Styrene Monolayer Capping of Silicon Nanocrystals by Room Temperature Hydrosilylation

Undecanoic acid facilitates attachment of styrene to hydride-terminated Si nanocrystals at room temperature, avoiding polymerization of styrene, yielding free-standing styrene-terminated Si nanocrystals. The nanocrystals have diamond cubic crystal structure, with photophysical properties similar to...

Zusammenfassung:Undecanoic acid facilitates attachment of styrene to hydride-terminated Si nanocrystals at room temperature, avoiding polymerization of styrene, yielding free-standing styrene-terminated Si nanocrystals. The nanocrystals have diamond cubic crystal structure, with photophysical properties similar to typical alkene-capped Si nanocrystals, such as bright photoluminescence with relatively long radiative lifetimes. We propose a reaction mechanism for room temperature styrene addition in which the resonance form of undecanoic acid coordinates to surface Si-H and facilitates H(-) attack at terminal C═C of styrene
