“…[3] Initially, the majority of reports focused on the grafting of diazonium salts on carbon, [4][5][6][7] but since then this mechanism has been expanded to different metal substrates including, copper, [8] nickel, [8,9] zinc, [8,9] iron, [8][9][10][11] gold, [12] indium oxide, [13] and semiconductors. [14] These diazonium-grafted surfaces have found widespread application in diverse areas such as sensors, [15,16] catalysis, [17] nanotubes, [18] and anti-corrosive agents. [10,11] The stability of electrografted diazonium layers is well known and can be attributed to the CÀC and metal-C covalent bond between the aryl groups and carbon or metal surfaces, respectively.…”
