Evidence of click and coordination reactions on a self-assembled monolayer by synchrotron radiation based XPS and NEXAFS

► Ethynyl terpyridines were clicked to azide-terminated SAMs on gold. ► Azides and clicked terpyridines were characterized by N and C K-NEXAFS and N 1s XPS. ► S 1s+S 2p XPS was used to characterize the buried gold–sulfur interface of the SAM. ► Higher click reaction temperature leads to an increased...

Zusammenfassung:► Ethynyl terpyridines were clicked to azide-terminated SAMs on gold. ► Azides and clicked terpyridines were characterized by N and C K-NEXAFS and N 1s XPS. ► S 1s+S 2p XPS was used to characterize the buried gold–sulfur interface of the SAM. ► Higher click reaction temperature leads to an increased amount of terpyridyl groups. ► Introduced terpyridyl groups are accessible for Pd(II) ion coordination. An ethynylterpyridine was “clicked” to an azide-terminated self-assembled monolayer on gold and characterized by synchrotron radiation based surface analysis as NEXAFS and XPS. The detection of azide and terpyridine signatures confirmed a partial click reaction at room temperature. The absence of the azides after reaction at 50°C indicates an almost complete conversion. For the latter case successful Pd(II) coordination has been proven. The Au–S interface of the SAMs has been characterized by S 1s and S 2p XPS.
