Abstract
Self-assembled organic ligand monolayers on the surface of a metal oxide or silicon oxide substrate overlayer, wherein transition metal atoms selected from Group IV, Group V or Group VI of the Periodic Chart are covalently bonded to the surface oxygens of the substrate, and each transition metal atom is further covalently bonded to one or more of the organic ligands of the monolayer, thereby covalently bonding the organic monolayer to the substrate overlayer. Methods of forming the self-assembled organic ligand monolayers of the present invention are also disclosed.
