Abstract
Photolithography is one approach to the development of a "molecular architecture" of interfaces. To date, four different systems for creating high resolution inorganic microstructures through photolithography have been developed: Schanze and Meyer have used electrodes that have been chemically modified with an organometallic Ru polymer, Gafney has photolyzed metal carbonyls adsorbed into porous glass, and we have polymerized a multimetal, intervalent charge transfer complex onto ITO coated glass. Various features have been created, including Meyer's dots, Gafney's postage stamp sized periodic table, potential switchable grating of Schanze, and our potential switchable diffraction grating and reproduction of a full color American flag. Structures down to micron resolution have been demonstrated.
