The covalent immobilization of organic molecules with the control over position, feature diameter, and orientation has led to advances in biology, electronics, and materials science. In this thesis, we discuss recent advances where massively parallel elastomeric tip arrays were used to site-specifically induce covalent reactions. Here we describe how we use massively parallel tip arrays to carry out nucleophilic, catalytic, photochemical, and force induced reactions. We describe specific applications of the resulting patterns in glycobiology and electronics. Importantly, this work demonstrates how massively parallel arrays provide insight into organic surface chemistry that has not been obtained by other methods.
