Self-assembling, patterning and SPR imaging of a 1,3 alternate bis(dipyridyl)calix[4]arene derivative-Cu2+ complex immobilized on to Au(111) surfaces.
The electrochemically switchable Cu(2+) complex of a 1,3 alternate bis(dipyridyl)calix[4]arene derivative forms self-assembled monolayers on Au(111) surfaces. The receptor is patterned on the surface by using microcontact printing procedures and the resulting surface is imaged via SPR.
