Abstract

The formation of mixed monolayers of hydridospherosilsesquioxane clusters (H 8Si 8O 12) and alkylsilanes (H 2n+1C nSiH 3) on Au has been investigated using X-ray photoelectron and reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopies and scanning tunneling microscopy. All of the techniques indicate the displacement of the majority of the siloxane clusters from the surface in favor of the alkylsilane.
