Click chemistry reactions have opened new horizons in the field of surface chemistry, as these reactions are ease to perform on surfaces. A nice example is the addition of thiol moieties onto C=C bonds, which have been shown to be highly efficient, orthogonal to many other reactions, highly selective, etc. Recently we and others have shown that thiol-ene click reactions can be used efficiently for the modification of semiconductor surfaces and nanoparticles with a wide range of materials. In the current presentation we show an improved procedure involving C≡C bonds, i.e. thiol-yne click reactions.

We modified oxide-free Si(111) surfaces with alkene-terminated and alkyne-terminated monolayers, and these surfaces were further modified with various thiols such as thioglycolic acid, thioacetic acid, thioglycerol, thio-β-D-glucose tetraacetate lactose and 9-flurenylmethoxy-carbonyl cysteine by using thiol-ene and thiol-yne click reactions. Upon detailed surface analysis it was found that after some optimization the thiol-yne click reaction yielded 20 – 80 % more surface coverage compared to thiol-ene click reactions. Thus surface modification with thiol-yne click reactions promise to be the next step in surface-bound thiol click chemistry.
