13. Continued irradiation ultimately gave a photostationary state containing all four isomers of 2 in a 40:43:9:8 ratio of unstable-cis/ unstable-trans/stable-cis/stable-trans, respectively.
14. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first CD spectrum reported of a covalently grafted monolayer of small molecules. A CD spectrum of a Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer has been reported, see: C. Nuckolls, T. J. Katz, T. Verbiest, S. V. Elshocht, H.-G. Kuball, S. Kiesewalter, A. J. Lovinger, A. Persoons, J. Am. Chem.

16. See the Supporting Information for quantification of this effect.
17. The curve for the stable form was smoothed owing to the poorer signal-to-noise ratio.
18. XPS was recently used to estimate the number of attached tethers of a polyolefin to silicon, see: C. M. Yam, J. Cho, C. Cai, Langmuir 2004, 20, 1228-1233.
