Catalytic reduction of nitro-group terminated monolayers by Ag nanoparticles; a novel strategy for site-selective patterning of organic monolayers.
We have demonstrated that site-selective patterning of organic monolayers can be accomplished simply by inducing Ag nanoparticle-mediated catalytic reduction to occur on the desired regions of those monolayers.
