Herein we present silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-doped inorganic–organic hybrid silica films on glass and polypropylene substrates. A sol in alcoholic medium was prepared at room temperature using TEOS, GLYMO, APTES. Silver were generated situ within the sol. AgNPs-SiO2 film obtained by dip coating method following drying 80 °C. FTIR spectra shows several vibrational bands of network amine functi...

Surface Functionalization In article number 2202453, Xing Cheng and co-workers demonstrate the high-quality surface functionalization by vapor phase grown self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which are free of morphological defects could be escalated into wafer scale. Herein, chemical bondings in anchoring groups omitted for better clarification. The carrier mobilities organic thin-film transistor...

Surface functionalization and its potential application in different fields of science and technology make monolayer organic films attractive candidates as linkages between an underlying substrate and other molecular species. By now, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) [1,2] generated from either alkanethiols (RSH) or disulfides (RSSR) (R= CnH2n+1), have become a practical tool for homogeneous sur...

Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization of nondirected arenes has been realized using an inexpensive and easily accessible type of bidentate S,O-ligand. The catalytic system shows high efficiency in the C-H olefination reaction of electron-rich and electron-poor arenes. This methodology is operationally simple, scalable, and can be used in late-stage functionalization of complex molecules. The b...

The structure and the composition are two key factors that influence the physical, chemical, and other properties of materials. Correspondingly, structural design and functionalization with inorganic or organic materials provide efficient routes to enhancing some properties. Herein, iron triad nanomaterials, with a wide range of applications in energy, environment and other fields, were chosen ...

We report the late-stage functionalization of multisubstituted pyridines and diazines at the position α to nitrogen. By this process, a series of functional groups and substituents bound to the ring through nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or carbon are installed. This functionalization is accomplished by a combination of fluorination and nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the installed fluoride. A...

Post-synthesis DNA modification is a very useful method for DNA functionalization. This is achieved by using a modified NTP, which has a handle for further modifications, replacing the corresponding natural NTP in polymerase-catalyzed DNA synthesis. Subsequently, the handle can be used for further functionalization after PCR, preferably through a very fast reaction. Herein we describe polymeras...

The high thermal conductivity of graphene and few-layer graphene undergoes severe degradations through contact with the substrate. Here we show experimentally that the thermal management of a micro heater is substantially improved by introducing alternative heat-escaping channels into a graphene-based film bonded to functionalized graphene oxide through amino-silane molecules. Using a resistanc...

Efficient C-H functionalization requires selectivity for specific C-H bonds. Progress has been made for directed aromatic substitution reactions to achieve ortho and meta selectivity, but a general strategy for para-selective C-H functionalization has remained elusive. Herein we introduce a previously unappreciated concept that enables nearly complete para selectivity. We propose that radicals ...

In this paper the results concerning the synthesis of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles (NPs), their functionalization using silane derivatives, such as (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), and their exhaustive morphological and physical characterization by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersion X-ray spectrome...
