Abstract
We report the in situ replacement of conjugated molecules in an insulating matrix by scanned probe microscope lithography. High yield, programmable patterning of a self-assembled monolayer of dodecanethiol was performed by applying voltage pulses from a scanning tunneling microscope. Conjugated oligomers were observed to be subsequently chemisorbed onto the patterned sites.Keywords
