We present a general strategy for the efficient assembly of organic molecules directly onto the silicon surface via Si-N and Si-O linkages. This is achieved from the reaction between an amine or an alcohol functional group and a chlorinated Si surface. The resulting organic monolayers are thermally stable. These methods are applicable for the assembly of a variety of functional organic molecules in both vacuum environment and solution phases.
