Substrate orientationhorizontal dipping transfer onto substrates such as Si/SiO2 and copper grid
Oxidant / reductantCu(II) is reduced to Cu(I) during thiol coordination; no separate oxidant or reductant reported
Work-upDeposited onto substrates by horizontal dipping; immersed in Milli-Q water for 5 min; rinsed with flowing ethanol and acetone; dried at 80 deg C.
ActivationNo separate activation reported beyond drying at 80 deg C.
Scalability contextMain text reports a visible black film with lateral size about 50 cm2 on the water surface.
