Dehydrogenative Silane Coupling on Porous Silicon
Description
Organic hydridosilanes can be grafted to hydrogen-terminated porous Si nanostructures without the use of a catalyst. The reaction proceeds efficiently with mild heating on the benchtop, and it shows little sensitivity to air or water impurities. The resulting modified surfaces are stable to corrosive aqueous solutions and common organic solvents.
