A New Class of Extended Tetrathiafulvalene Cruciform Molecules for Molecular Electronics with Dithiafulvene‐4, 5‐Dithiolate Anchoring Groups. (20th August 2012) - Parker, Christian Richard
Abstract Cruciform motifs with two orthogonally oriented π‐extended tetrathiafulvalenes and with differently protected thiolate end‐groups are synthesized by stepwise coupling reactions. The molecules are subjected to single‐molecule conductivity studies in a break‐junction and to conducting probe atomic force microscopy studies in a self‐assembled monolayer on gold.
