Quantum interference (QI) of electron waves passing through a single-molecule junction provides a powerful means to influence its electrical properties. Here, we investigate the correlation between substitution pattern, conductance, and mechanosensitivity in [2.2]paracyclophane (PCP)-based molecular wires in a mechanically controlled break junction experiment. The effect of the meta versus para connectivity in both the central PCP core and the phenyl ring connecting the terminal anchoring group is studied. We find that the meta-phenyl-anchored PCP yields such low conductance levels that molecular features cannot be resolved; in the case of para-phenyl-coupled anchoring, however, large variations in conductance values for modulations of the electrode separation occur for the pseudo-para-coupled PCP core, while this mechanosensitivity is absent for the pseudo-meta-PCP core. The experimental findings are interpreted in terms of QI effects between molecular frontier orbitals by theoretical calculations based on density functional theory and the Landauer formalism.

Nanopatterned surfaces enhance incident electromagnetic radiation and thereby enable the detection and characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), for instance in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Herein, Au nanohole arrays, developed

The oxidation of a series of aryl tert-butyl sulfoxides (4-X-C 6H4SOC(CH3)3: 1, X = OCH 3; 2, X = CH3; 3, X = H; 4, X = Br) photosensitized by 3-cyano-N-methylquinolinium perchlorate (3-CN-NMQ+) has been investigated by steady-state irradiation and nanosecond laser flash photolysis (LFP) under nitrogen in MeCN. Products deriving from the C-S bond cleavage in the radical cations 1+?-4+? have been observed in the steady-state photolysis experiments. By laser irradiation, the formation of 3-CN-NMQ? (λmax = 390 nm) and 1 +?-4+? (λmax = 500-620 nm) was observed. A first-order decay of the sulfoxide radical cations, attributable to C-S bond cleavage, was observed with fragmentation rate constants (k f) that decrease by increasing the electron donating power of the arylsulfinyl substituent from 1.8 × 106 s-1 (4 +?) to 2.3 × 105 s-1 (1 +?). DFT calculations showed that a significant fraction of the charge is delocalized in the tert-butyl group of the radical cations, thus explaining the small substituent effect on the C-S bond cleavage rate constants. Via application of the Marcus equation to the kinetic data, a very large value for the reorganization energy (λ = 62 kcal mol-1) has been calculated for the C-S bond scission reaction in 1+?-4 +?.
Stoichiometric functionalization of gold nanoparticles in solution through a free radical polymerization approach
Krueger, Christian,Agarwal, Seema,Greiner, Andreas
, p. 2710 - 2711 (2008/09/20)
A new simple concept for the stoichiometrical functionalization of nanoparticles based on free radical polymerization of vinyl protected nanoparticles is presented. To demonstrate this concept 2-bis(4-vinylphenyl)disulfane was synthesized and used in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles, leading to 4-vinylthiophenol functionalized nanoparticles. Simple free radical polymerization of these particles initiated by 4,4′-azobis-(4-cyanopentanoic acid) delivered nanoparticles with a singlecarboxyl group. These monofunctionalized gold nanoparticles were utilized for chemical preparation of gold nanoparticle dimers as well as for construction of gold nanoparticle arrays via binding to polyallylamine.

There is provided a conjugated molecule that is useful as a conductive path in an electronic device. The conjugated molecule includes at least one p/n junction so as to provide a direction to electron flow and one end alligator clip group which allows for self-orientation of the molecule during assembly in a device, resulting in an asymmetric structure of the molecule. The conjugated molecule may be used in diodes, molecular switches, transistors, and in the manufacture of memory devices.

An Iterative Strategy for the Synthesis of Oligothiophenes by Catalytic Cross-Coupling Reactions
Pinault, Thomas,Cherioux, Frederic,Therrien, Bruno,Suess-Fink, Georg
, p. 121 - 126 (2007/10/03)
An iterative strategy for the synthesis of new sulfur-functionalized oligothiophenes by Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reactions was applied to the reaction of 4-bromo-tert-butylphenylthioether with thiophene derivatives. The planarity of the oligothiophenes obtained was confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of 2-(4′-tert-butyl-thiophenyl)thiophene, which shows a potentially large electronic conjugation length.
