Molecular junctions based on intermolecular electrostatic coupling.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrostatically linked ferrocene junctions were assembled and their conductance was investigated on the level of individual molecules by means of an electrochemical mechanical break junction. Conductance histograms of repeatedly formed molecular junctions showed peaks at multiples of 3.4 × 10(-5) G(0), which is one order of magnitude smaller than the conductance reported for covalently linked cysteamine-ferrocene-cysteamine.

Effects of electronic coupling and electrostatic potential on charge transport in carbon-based molecular electronic junctions
Molecular junctions consisting of 2-20 nm thick layers of organic oligomers oriented between a conducting carbon substrate and a carbon/gold top contact have proven to be reproducible and reliable, and will soon enter commercial production in audio processing circuits. The covalent, conjugated bond between one or both sp(2)-hybridized carbon contacts and an aromatic molecular layer is distinct ...
متن کاملMolecular junctions based on aromatic coupling.
If individual molecules are to be used as building blocks for electronic devices, it will be essential to understand charge transport at the level of single molecules. Most existing experiments rely on the synthesis of functional rod-like molecules with chemical linker groups at both ends to provide strong, covalent anchoring to the source and drain contacts. This approach has proved very succe...
متن کاملBifurcation and Chaos in Size-Dependent NEMS Considering Surface Energy Effect and Intermolecular Interactions
The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...
متن کاملA theoretical survey on strength and characteristics of F•••F, Br•••O and Br•••Br interactions in solid phase
A quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular F•••F, Br•••Br and Br•••O interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (BFNB). This system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. We found that fluorine atoms have weak ...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...
