Molecular modification reagent and method to functionalize oxide surfaces

Abstract

This invention relates to a molecular modification reagent consisting of an inorganic oxide substrate having surface oxygens bonded to silylcobalt tetracarbonyl groups. This reagent is functionalized to form new compounds useful e.g., in semi-conductor industry, sensor industry, chromatography and modified support industry, and in the isolation of biologically active molecules.
