Area of Science:

  • Surface Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology
  • Photochemistry

Background:

  • Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are crucial for modifying surfaces.
  • Previous work focused on amine (NH2) functionalized surfaces.
  • Carboxylic acid (COOH) functionalized surfaces offer complementary properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report thiol-on-gold SAMs for photodeprotection yielding COOH surfaces.
  • To investigate the photodeprotection efficiency and surface properties.
  • To compare SAM photodeprotection with solution-phase reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of thiol-on-gold SAMs with protected carboxylic acid groups.
  • Soft UV irradiation (lambda = 365 nm) for photodeprotection.
  • Surface-sensitive techniques (e.g., infrared spectroscopy) for monitoring photolysis.

Main Results:

  • Successful generation of COOH functionalized surfaces via photodeprotection.
  • Lower photodeprotection yields in SAMs compared to dilute solutions.
  • Approximately 50% yield for protected carboxylic acids due to competing photoreduction.
  • Surface reorganization shielding COOH groups, reducing hydrophilicity.

Conclusions:

  • Thiol-on-gold SAMs provide a viable route to COOH functionalized surfaces.
  • Photodeprotection efficiency in SAMs is influenced by the surface environment.
  • Surface restructuring impacts the accessibility and properties of the functional groups.
