Pentamethyldiethylenetriamine → Phenethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Cu(I) catalyst at 1 mM and PHEA-MA at 1 mM (30 mg/mL) was prepared by dissolution of Cu(II)Br (2.35 mg, 10 μmol), PMDETA (6 μL, 30 μmol), sodium ascorbate (39.6 mg, 200 μmol) and PHEA-MA (300 mg, 10 μmol) in 10 mL of milli-Q water solution. The solution was then filtered with a 0.45 μm filter (Acrodisc Syringe Filter). Si wafers coated with the initiator layers were immersed vertically into the Cu(I) catalyst/PHEA-MA solution and allowed to polymerize for a predetermined time. To quench the reaction, the slides were washed 3 times with milli-Q water, soaked overnight in milli-Q water and then dried under air flow before ellipsometry or AFM analysis.
