Title:
A LOW-FORWARD-VOLTAGE MOLECULAR RECTIFIER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003100878
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A single molecular species having a low-forward-voltage rectifying property is provided. The molecular species is represented by the formula (a), where A is a "conducting" moiety (with a relatively narrow HOMO-LUMO gap), IL and IR are each an "insulating" moiety (with a relatively wide HOMO-LUMO gap), CL is a connecting group for an attachment to a first electrode, and CR is a connecting group for attachment to a second electrode. Also, a low-forward-voltage rectifying molecular rectifier is provided, comprising the molecular species attached between the two electrodes. The present teachings provide a set of design rues to build single-molecule rectifying diodes that opearte at low forward and large revers voltages. Such single-molecule rectifying diodes are useful in a variety of nano-scale applications.
