Functionalization of Si(111) surfaces with alkyl chains terminated by electrochemically polymerizable thienyl units.
A Si(111) surface has been derivatized with a thiophene-terminated alkyl monolayer which was subsequently photoanodically oxidized in the presence of thiophene to yield a strongly adherent and smooth conducting film.
