Thermal Transformations and Low Energy Electron Irradiation of 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene on Au(111) Surfaces and on Alkanethiol SAMs

This thesis investigates the application of low energy electron irradiation to 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene films to test whether site-selective C–H bond cleavage can be achieved in a molecule presenting both aliphatic and aromatic target sites. IRRAS was used to characterize the orientation of vapour-dep...
