Fluorescence analysisFluorescence analysis
Excitation by dedicated UV
laser at 355nm on several
areas (1mm2) give:
•No fluorescence emission for
all investigated areas on the
20% decorated cavitand
substrate.
•Fluorescence emission in
different area for the 20%
decorated cavitand substrate
after the self-assembly
treatment.
•No fluorescence emission for
all the investigated areas for
the 1-ottene decorated
substrate after the self-
assembly treatment.
Emission of self-assembled cages on Si.

Conclusion A new route for Si-integrattion of 3D nanosize
coordination cages through the self-assembly
The approach associated to the possibility of introducing specific probes offers the advantages of an easy, error-free characterization of complex 3D structures.
Observation for the first time of fluorescence of a dye covalently linked on a Si(100) surface.
