Figure 8.
Patterned deposition of [Zn2(adc)2(dabco)] by using the irradiation-promoted exchange reaction (IPER) to modify the surface chemistry of the SAM. (a) Square arrays of rectangles (1 × 0.3 µm2) were written into the HDT SAM by using different area doses (increasing from bottom to top), followed by exchange with MHDA, before the layer-by-layer growth of the MOF was performed. (b) Close-up of one of the arrays (area dose: 2.5 mC/cm2) showing the small rectangular deposits of [Zn2(adc)2(dabco)]. (c) Epifluorescence image (excitation wavelength 475 nm) of the region marked by the green square in (a).
