Abstract

Abstract : Insulated molecular wires are π‐conjugated polymers that are molecularly sheathed with an insulating layer and are structurally analogous to electric power cords at the nanoscale. A new molecular design concept of IMWs in which the sheaths can be customized enables the modulation of the electronic properties of the interior π‐conjugated systems. IMWs designed in this way will be useful in a variety of applications where the nature of charge carriers plays an important role.
