Abstract

The immobilization of biomolecules on substrate surfaces for biosensor development requires linking molecules that must meet a specific set of criteria. Two such agents based on bifunctional alkyltrichlorosilane structures, 1-bromo-11-(trichlorosilyl)-undecane and 1- (thiotrifluoroacetato)-11-(trichlorosilyl)-undecane, are employed to generate thiol- functionalized surfaces either by nucleophilic substitution followed by reduction (bromine- ...
