The rational modification of porous and single‐crystalline silico surfaces is of particular interest for technologies based on silicon. Porous silicon, such as the layer shown in the Figure, has many potential technological applications. In this review of chemical reactions developed for Si surface modification, both extensions of the chemistry of molecular Si compounds to surfaces and new surface chemistry are treated.
