Syntheses of new functionalized azobenzenes for potential molecular electronic devices
摘要:
New non-symmetrical azobenzene derivatives have been synthesized as potential molecular electronic switching device candidates. The Oxone 0 mediated oxidation of anilines provided nitroso-functionalized arenes, which were then condensed with substituted anilines to provide a series of azobenzene derivatives that could be further converted into oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s or diazonium salts. The resulting thiolacetates, thiols, or diazonium salts are capable of forming molecular layers on the surface of gold or silicon, thereby paving the way for molecular electronics testing.
