Introducing the concept of pulsed vapor phase copper-free surface click-chemistry using the ALD technique

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 7;55(21):3109-3112. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00367c.

Abstract

We report for the first time on a pulsed vapor phase copper-free azide-alkyne click reaction on ZnO by using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process technology. This reproducible and fast method is based on an in situ two-step reaction consisting of sequential exposures of ZnO to propiolic acid and benzyl azide.
