Attempts to obtain derivatives of the molecular diode, 2-4-[1-cyano-2-(1-(Ï-acetylsulfanylalkyl)-1H-quinolin-4-ylidene)-ethylidene]-cyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene}-malonitrile [1, CH3COâSâCnH2nâQ3CNQ], from either 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQF4) or 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TMTCNQ) result in ring closure via the cyano group of the Ï-bridge and yield di-substituted analogues: 2-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-[6-(10-acetylsulfanyldecyl)-3-(1-(10-acetylsulfanyldecyl)-1H-quinolin-4-ylidenemethyl)-6H-benzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-2-ylidene]-cyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene}-malonitrile (2a) and the 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl derivative (2b). Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of these donorâ(Ï-bridge)âacceptor molecular diodes exhibit asymmetric currentâvoltage characteristics with electron flow at forward bias from the top contact to surface C(CN)2 groups. Comparison is made with IâV curves from ultra-thin films of an organic rectifying junction in which TCNQâ is electron-donating and a donorâ(Ï-bridge)âacceptor diode in which TCNQ° is electron-accepting.
试图从 2,3,5,6-四氟-7,7,8,8-四氰基-对二醌甲烷(TCNQF4)或 2,3,5,6-四甲基-7,7,8,8-四氰基-对二醌甲烷(TCNQF4)中获得分子二极管 2-4-[1-氰基-2-(1-(Ï-乙酰硫烷基)-1H-喹啉-4-亚基)-亚乙基]-环己-2,5-二烯基}-丙二腈[1, CH3COâSâCnH2nâQ3CNQ] 的衍生物、2-2,3,5,6-四氟-7,7,8,8-四氰基对二醌甲烷 (TCNQF4) 或 2,3,5,6-四甲基-7,7,8,8-四氰基对二醌甲烷 (TMTCNQ),通过 Ï-桥的氰基实现闭环,生成二取代类似物:2-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-[6-(10-acetylsulfanyldecyl)-3-(1-(10-acetylsulfanyldecyl)-1H-quinolin-4-ylidenemethyl)-6H-benzo[f][1,7]萘啶-2-亚基]-环己-2,5-二烯亚基}-丙二腈(2a)和 2,3,5,6-四甲基衍生物(2b)。这些供体â(Ï-桥)â受体分子二极管的自组装单层(SAM)显示出不对称的电流电压特性,在正向偏压下电子从顶部接触流向表面的 C(CN)2 基团。我们将其与以 TCNQâ 为电子供体的有机整流结和以 TCNQ° 为电子受体的供体â(Ï-桥)â-受体二极管的超薄薄膜的 IâV 曲线进行了比较。
