Popis: Hybrid organic-inorganic interfaces are the key to functionalization of stainless steel (SS). We present a solution-based deposition method for fabricating uniform bimolecular organosilane monolayers on SS and show that their properties and functionalities can be further developed through site-specific biotinylation. We correlate molecular properties of the interface with its reactivity via surface sensitive synchrotron radiation mediated high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-PES) and chemical derivatization (CD), and we demonstrate specific bonding of streptavidin proteins to the hybrid interface. The method facilitates efficient growth of uniform bimolecular organosilane monolayers on SS under ambient conditions without the need to prime the SS surface with vacuum-deposited inorganic buffer layers. The obtained insights into molecular bonding, orientation, and behaviour of surface-confined organofunctional silanes on SS enable a new generic approach to functionalization of SS surfaces with versatile nanomolecular organosilane layers.
