Sc(OTf)₃‐Mediated Silylation of Hydroxy Functional Groups on a Solid Surface: A Catalytic Grafting Method Operating at Room Temperature

Abstract

Surface paradise: Facile catalytic post-grafting of the surface of glass or indium tin oxide (ITO, see picture) with a variety of functional groups has been achieved. Methallylsilanes serve as the grafting reagent and the surfaces show remarkable chemical stability.
