Research on surface-grafted polymer has been drawing much attention both experimentally and theoretically for a couple of decades. 1 The grafted polymer in a high grafting density regime is often called polymer brush and well studied for the purpose of, for instance, surface modification. On the other hand, the grafted polymer in a low density regime is useful for observing structures and properties of the polymers at the single molecule level. We have proposed the end-graft technique for fixing single polymer chains individually on a solid surface and have demonstrated the usefulness of this technique using polysilanes. 2 We successfully visualized a variety of single molecular and supramolecular structures of polysilane molecules by using our endgrafted polysilane samples. 3 Polysilanes have a semiconducting nature based on the σ-conjugation4 and exhibit such features as hole mobility5 and electroluminescence. 6 Thus, the observation of those physical properties by using the single polysilane molecule would be also of great interest. 7We have achieved the syntheses of end-grafted polysilanes on solid surfaces with the hydroxyl (-OH) and hydrosilyl (Si-H) groups. Our aim in this paper is to synthesize end-grafted polysilane on metal surface. Increasing the variety of surfaces is important for research on grafted polymer. It would be also important for studying electronic interactions between such functional polymers of polysilane and the conductive metal surface. We chose gold as the metal, because chemisorption between gold and thiol has been extensively studied and is useful for bonding molecules to the gold surface. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface is one of the most important systems. 8 The chemisorption is also quite selective9 so that the onepot synthesis of a gold-thiol bond and a carboxyl acidindium tin oxide bond has been proposed and demonstrated. 9a
