title: In situ formation of diazonium salts from nitro precursors for scanning electrochemical microscopy patterning of surfaces.
abstract: Give me a tip: In situ production of diazonium salts from nitro compounds allows the use of diazonium chemistry for microelectrochemical patterning of surfaces by scanning electrochemical microscopy. The nitro precursor is reduced at the tip to the amine, which is diazotized in the interelectrode space as it diffuses (see picture). The tip acts as a source of diazonium salts, allowing sample derivatization just beneath the tip.
