Abstract

Abstract : A systematic investigation of wet‐chemical adsorption, desorption, co‐adsorption, and exchange behavior of phosphonic acid, carboxylic acid and catechol monolayers on the surface of titanium oxide nanoparticles is presented. The reported procedure provides a toolbox to identify optimal monolayer–surface combinations and to evaluate critical parameters, such as monolayer robustness, ligand exchange rates, or targeted mixed assembly of functionalities, and should be applicable to many other colloidal metal oxide materials.
