Abstract
Robust surface attachment of molecular species to metal oxide semiconductors is desirable for many applications. Here, we report the interfacial diazo coupling of surface-bound amines with aromatics to bind them to the surface of TiO2 nanoparticles via a siloxane anchor and a diazo linker. The technique shows potential for the inexpensive, stable, modular and tunable attachment of molecules to metal oxide surfaces.
