Formation of mixed monolayers of silsesquioxanes and alkylsilanes on gold.
The formation of mixed monolayers of hydridospherosilsesquioxane clusters (H(8)Si(8)O(12)) and alkylsilanes (H(2n+1)C(n)SiH(3)) on Au has been investigated using X-ray photoelectron and reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopies and scanning tunneling microscopy. All of the techniques indicate the displacement of the majority of the siloxane clusters from the surface in favor of the alkylsilane.
