Development of Low Temperature Activatable Aryl Azide Adhesion Promoters as Versatile Surface Modifiers.

ABSTRACT: An innovative approach for the immobilization of polymeric films is the use of bifunctional compounds called adhesion promoters, that create a stable chemical "bridge" between materials, allowing for versatile and permanent surface modification. To connect coating materials that lack reactive groups, the "bridge" forming adhesion promoter needs a highly reactive group that can insert in otherwise unreactive chemical bonds. Activatable perfluoro-aryl azides are commonly used to achieve this, with the limitation that their thermal activation is constrained to elevated temperatures-typically far above 100 °C-and photolytic activation is often unfeasible due to geometry or opaque materials. To overcome this limitation, we designed and synthesized three small organic molecules based on substitu
