Abstract

Searching for systems of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that can be used as templates for chemical lithography, we found that nitro groups on aromatic SAMs are selectively converted on Ag to amino groups by irradiation with a visible laser. 4-nitrobenzenethiol on Ag was thus converted to 4-aminobenzenethiol by irradiating it with an $Ar^+$ laser. This was evident from surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as well as from a coupling reaction forming amide bonds. The surface-induced photoreaction allowed us to prepare patterned binary monolayers on Ag that showed different chemical reactivities. Using the binary monolayers as a lithographic template, we induced site-specific chemical reactions, such as the selective growth of biominerals on either the nitro- or amine-terminated regions by adjusting the crystal-growth conditions. We also demonstrated that patterned, amine-terminated monolayers can be fabricated even on gold by using silver nanoparticles as photoreducing catalysts.
