Indium tin oxide (ITO) and silicon with a thermally grown SiO2 layer (Si/SiO2) substrates have been functionalized by ferrocene bound through Sn(O)x (x=2 or 3) linkers preliminarly grafted on the surface by reaction of the terminal hydroxyl groups with tetra(tert-butoxy)tin. The two steps modification of the surface was carried out by chemical vapour deposition metathesis reaction producing a self-assembled monolayer of ferrocene. The ITO and Si/SiO2 thus functionalized have been characterized by voltammetric, amperometric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy techniques which assessed the formation of a stable and rather compact covalently bound ferrocenyl monolayer with improved electron transfer properties.

Abstract
Indium tin oxide (ITO) and silicon with a thermally grown SiO2 layer (Si/SiO2) substrates have been functionalized by ferrocene bound through Sn(O)x (x=2 or 3) linkers preliminarly grafted on the surface by reaction of the terminal hydroxyl groups with tetra(tert-butoxy)tin. The two steps modification of the surface was carried out by chemical vapour deposition metathesis reaction producing a self-assembled monolayer of ferrocene. The ITO and Si/SiO2 thus functionalized have been characterized by voltammetric, amperometric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy techniques which assessed the formation of a stable and rather compact covalently bound ferrocenyl monolayer with improved electron transfer properties.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
