چکیده
The platinum butadiynyl complex trans-(C(6)F(5))(p-tol(3)P)(2)Pt(C≡C)(2)H and a CuI adduct of a 1,10-phenanthroline based 33-membered macrocycle react in the presence of K(2)CO(3) and I(2) or O(2) to give a rotaxane (ca. 9%) in which the macrocycle is threaded by the sp carbon chain of trans,trans-(C(6)F(5))(p-tol(3)P)(2)Pt(C≡C)(4)Pt(Pp-tol(3))(2)(C(6)F(5)). The crystal structure and macrocycle/axle electronic interactions are analyzed in detail.

The single-molecule electrical conductance of a rotaxane-hexayne supramolecular assembly.
Oligoynes are archetypical molecular wires due to their 1-D chain of conjugated carbon atoms and ability to transmit charge over long distances by coherent tunneling. However, the stability of the oligoyne can be an issue. Here we address this problem by two stabilization methods, namely sterically shielding endgroups, and rotaxination to produce an insulated molecular wire. We demonstrate the ...
متن کاملSynthesis of an organic-soluble π-conjugated [3]rotaxane via rotation of glucopyranose units in permethylated β-cyclodextrin
We synthesized symmetrically insulated oligo(para-phenylene) and oligothiophene with a pseudo-linked [3]rotaxane structure by full rotation of glucopyranose units via a flipping (tumbling) mechanism in the π-conjugated guest having two permethylated β-cyclodextrin units at both ends. We also succeeded in the synthesis of an organic-soluble fixed [3]rotaxane by a cross-coupling or complexation r...
متن کاملInsulated conducting polymers: manipulating charge transport using supramolecular complexes.
Rotaxane structures which provide functional insulation to conducting polymers can provide over a 4000-fold reduction in conductivity over non-rotaxane structures and with electronically active copper ions in the rotaxane units the conductivity increases by more than 80 times relative to the metal-free analog.
متن کاملInsulated Polythiophene: Self-Threaded Conjugated Polymer via Alkyl Chain Straps
Polythiophenes are a popular class of organic conducting polymers, known for their environmental stability, conductivity [1], fluorescence and electroluminescent properties [2]. Conducting polymers, such as polythiophenes, have enormous potential in both static and dynamic applications, ranging from field-effect transistors and diodes to chemical sensors [3]. Many applications require the use o...
متن کاملI-V Characteristics of a Molecular Wire of Polyaniline (Emeraldine Base)
In this study, Polyaniline molecule (emeraldine base) is modeled as a molecular wire and the effects of the metal/molecule coupling strength and the molecule length on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are numerically investigated. Using a tight-binding Hamiltonian model, the methods based on Non-equilibrium Green’s function theory, Landauer formalism and Newns-Anderson model, our calcu...
