“…1). [75][76][77][78] Hydrogenated silicon surfaces are attractive to work with because of their ease of preparation, 78 their relative stability in air 79,80 and during brief water ring procedures, 31,76 and their lack of appreciable reactivity toward a range of common solvents (including acetonitrile, 81 diethyl ether, 46 chlorobenzene, 82 hexane, 83 toluene 84 and mesitylene 85,86 preparation of covalent organic layers by wet chemical methods. 87 Notable exceptions to the typically straightforward conditions are [2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition reactions under 'dry' UHV conditions.…”
