Controlled surface modification of CdTe single crystals and CdTe and CulnSe2 solar cell quality thin films was achieved by chemisorption of a series of organic ligands with varying dipole moments. Contact potential difference measurements in air showed that adsorption of benzoic or hydroxamic acid derivatives on the thin films or crystals changes the semiconductors' electron affinity without significantly affecting band bending. The magnitude and direction of surface potential changes, which reach 670 mV between extreme modifications, correlate with the ligands' dipole moments. Ligand dipole moments were controlled by varying the substituents of the ligand. Quantitative Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that benzoic acid surface coverage is about one monolayer. Finally, FTIR spectral analysis showed that the benzoic acid derivatives adsorb via coordination to Cd on CdTe and that hydroxamic acids bind to Cd on CdTe and to In on CuInSe2. These phenomena occur in several systems (two semiconductor compounds, two types of binding groups, and two types of surface morphologies were examined) and may prove useful in band edge engineering.

A series of hydroxamic acids, involving aliphatic, aromatic and cyclic substrates, were transformed to the corresponding carboxylic acids through NaIO4-mediated oxidative cleavage in mild conditions. Esterification of these acids with TMSCHN2 could result in formation of the corresponding methyl ester. This methodology makes good compensation for the existing methods transforming amides to esters. Our results also pave the way to harness hydroxamic acids as useful synthetic building blocks.

The rates of methyl transfer between benzohydroxamates and sulfonates show large βnuc values (ca. 0.8) indicating much charge transfer to the C atom, similar to the results of N,N-dialkylaminofluorene anions.A small α effect shows that even in
