• properties for biofunctionalization [26] and that displays a PBA moiety conjugated to a BODIPY core. The mechanochemical synthesis avoids the use of a large excess of 1 in the reaction mixture. Accordingly, reactions following either mechanochemical or solution-based protocols were carried out using a

Results and Discussion Synthesis of CMP thin films We prepared the CMP nanomembranes in a LbL approach using the thiol–yne coupling (TYC) reaction. In order to perform the reaction on surfaces, we first functionalized
