Arrays of Chemomechanically Patterned Patches of Homogeneous and Mixed Monolayers of 1-Alkenes and Alcohols on Single Silicon Surfaces

Abstract

Scribing in the presence of reactive species enables silicon to be chemomechanically patterned and simultaneously functionalized with monolayers. Arrays of patches of monolayers are created by scribing different regions of silicon in the presence of different reagents, as shown for the homologous series of 1-alkenes from 1-pentene (A1) to 1-octadecene (B4).
