title: Reactivity of acid fluoride-terminated self-assembled monolayers on gold.
abstract: This report describes the reactivity of acid fluoride (AF)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold toward amine and alcohol compounds and the potentiality of AF as a reactive intermediate for surface functionalizations. The AF group was generated in situ on a gold surface by reacting the terminal carboxylic acid group in the SAM of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid with cyanuric fluoride and pyridine under the optimized conditions. AF was found to be highly reactive toward various amine groups, such as primary and secondary amines, but it did not react effectively with alcohol. In addition, the amide coupling reaction by microcontact printing (microCP) was compared with the solution-based reaction: when amine-derivatized ferrocene compound was used for 1-min microCP on the AF-activated surface, the surface coverage of the reaction product was about 83% of 3.45 x 1014 cm-2, the coverage obtained in the solution-based reaction. On the basis of the high reaction efficiency of microCP, the AF-activated surface was also used as a platform for patterning a biological ligand, biotin.
