Synthesis of 1,2-biphenylethane based single-molecule diodes

We have described the synthesis of novel biphenylethane-based wires for molecular electronics. Exceptional single-molecule diode behavior was predicted for unsymmetrically substituted biphenylethane derivatives, synthesized here using the so far unexplored unsymmetrically substituted 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)ethanes as key intermediates, which were obtained from the corresponding tolane precursor by selective hydrogenation.

Novel preparation of N-arylmethyl-N-arylmethyleneamine N-oxides from benzylic bromides with zinc and isobutyl nitrite

Treatment of benzylic bromides with Zn and LiCl, followed by the reaction with i-butyl nitrite gave N-arylmethyl-N-arylmethyleneamine N-oxides in moderate yields. The present reaction is a novel and simple method for the preparation of nitrones from benzylic bromides, although the yields are moderate.

Synthesis and preliminary testing of molecular wires and devices

Presented here are several convergent synthetic routes to conjugated oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s. Some of these oligomers are free of functional groups, while others possess donor groups, acceptor groups, porphyrin interiors, and other heterocyclic interiors for various potential transmission and digital device applications. The syntheses of oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s with a variety of end groups for attachment to numerous metal probes and surfaces are presented. Some of the functionalized molecular systems showed linear, wire-like, current versus voltage (I(V)) responses, while others exhibited nonlinear I(V) curves for negative differential resistance (NDR) and molecular random access memory effects. Finally, the syntheses of functionalized oligomers are described that can form self-assembled monolayers on metallic electrodes that reduce the Schottky barriers. Information from the Schottky barrier studies can provide useful insight into molecular alligator clip optimizations for molecuar electronics.
