General description

Octylphosphonic acid (OPA) forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), which serves as a protective anti-corrosive phosphonate layer on a variety of surfaces.

Application

OPA can be used as a surfactant that may be added to silver (Ag)/titanium oxide (TiO2) for uniform dispersion into the polymeric matrix. It may be coated on indium-tin oxide (ITO) substrates, which can be used for super-resolution microscopy. OPA based charge blocking layer may be used to prevent leakage of current in a hybrid dielectric film.

Rapid and quantitative click functionalization of surfaces remains an interesting challenge in surface chemistry. In this regard, inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions represent a promising metal-free candidate. Herein, we reveal quantitative surface functionalization within 15 min. Furthermore, we report the
