Abstract
Vinyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silicon oxide
substrates were chemically modified by the addition of a
bis(trifluoromethyl)methylene group in a rare gas-phase C–C bond-forming
reaction to directly generate films carrying terminal CF3
groups. The vinyl-terminated films were treated with hexafluoroacetone
azine (HFAA) for modification. The films were characterized with
ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM),
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In this study, we find that
for optimized conditions clean reactions occur on a surface between
SAMs with terminal olefins and HFAA, and the product is consistent with
bis(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropanation formation after nitrogen extrusion.
