description <p>The initiation and high resolution control of surface confined chemical reactions would be both beneficial for nanofabrication and fundamentally interesting. In this work, spatially controlled scanning probe directed organometallic coupling, patterned functional protein immobilisation and highly localised reversible redox reactions on SAMs were investigated.</p> <p>Catalytically active palladium nanoparticles were mounted on a scanning probe and an appropriate reagent SAM was scanned in a reagent solution. This instigated a spatially resolved organometallic coupling reaction between the solution and SAM-phase reagents. Within this catalytic nanolithography a spatial resolution of ~10nm is possible, equating to zeptomole-scale reaction. The methodology was applied to reactions such as Sonogashira coupling and local oligo(phenylene vinylene) synthesis. By altering the experimental protocols, relating probe scan velocity to reaction yield and characterising the nanopattern, a PVP matrix model describing a proposed mechanism of catalytic nanolithography, was presented. Though ultimately limited by probe deactivation, calculations indicated that activity per immobilised nanoparticle is very high in this configuration.</p> <p>For biopatterning, surface nanopatterns defined by carboxylic functionality were generated from methyl-terminated SAMs by local anodic oxidation (LAO) initiated by a conductive AFM probe. By employing suitable linker compounds, avidin and Stefin-A quadruple Mutant (SQM) receptive peptide aptamers were patterned at sub-100nm resolution. The multiplexed sensing capability of an SQM array was demonstrated by reacting generated patterns with single or a mixture of multiple antibodies.</p> <p>The reversible redox conversion and switching of reactivity of hydroquinone-terminated SAMs was electrochemically demonstrated prior to an application in redox nanolithography. In this methodology, spatially controlled probe-induced <em>in situ</em> "writing" and "erasing" based on reversible redox conversion were conducted on hydroquinone terminated SAM. In combination with dip-pen nanolithography, a novel method of redox electro-pen nanolithography was designed and the method’s application for lithography was examined.</p>
