Preparation of High Quality Electrical Insulator Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold. Experimental Investigation of the Conduction Mechanism through Organic Thin Films
摘要:
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMS) form highly ordered, stable dielectrics on conductive surfaces. Being able to attach larger-area contacts in a MIM (metal-insulator-metal) diode, their electrical properties can be determined. In this paper, the electrical conduction through thiolate SAMS of different alkyl chain lengths formed on gold surfaces were studied and discussed. The influence of the headgroup with respect to the surface quality and prevention of short circuits is investigated. Phenoxy terminated alkanethiols were found to form high quality SAMS with perfect insulating properties. Synthesis of the required terminally substituted long chain thiols have been developed. The I(V) characteristics of MIM structures formed with these SAMS are measured and simulated according to theoretical tunneling models for electrical conductivity through thin organic layers. SAM based electronic devices will become especially important for future nanoscale applications, where they can serve as insulators, gate dielectric of FETs, resistors, and capacitor structures.

The structure of self-assembled monolayers presenting aromatic rings at a surface is studied by near edge x-rayabsorption fine structurespectroscopy (NEXAFS). Fluorine substitution at asymmetric positions in the aromatic rings is used to generate a layer of dipoles at the surface of the monolayer. We find that fluorine substituted aromatic rings are more ordered than unsubstituted aromatic rings
Synthesis of pachastrissamine (jaspine B) and its derivatives by the late-stage introduction of the C-2 alkyl side-chains using olefin cross metathesis
An improved divergent synthesis of the four diastereomers of pachastrissamine from Garner's aldehyde has been reported. The common intermediate was synthesized by an indium-mediated acetoxyallylation reaction. The long alkyl sidechain was introduced in the late stage of the synthesis using an olefin cross metathesis reaction. Biologicalevaluation of the chain modified analogs of the (2S,3S,4R)-isomer

The reaction of sodiumhydride with ω-hydroxyalkyltriphenylphosphonium salts Ph3P(CH2)nOH X–(I) has been investigated. The salt (I; n= 1, X = I) gave triphenylphosphine and formaldehyde. The salt (I; n= 2, X = I) gave triphenylphosphine oxide and ethylene. The salts (I; n= 4 or 5, X = I or Cl) could not be prepared. The salt (I; n= 6, X = I) gave mainly triphenylphosphine and hex-5-en-1-ol with some
Herein, we present a simplified reaction protocol for the dearomatization of bicyclic azaarenes via photochemical cycloaddition with alkenes using an Ir(III) photosensitizer, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), dichloroethane, and a blue light-emitting diode. An efficient protonation of azaarenes with TFA enhances the reactivity of triplet azaarene toward olefins, enabling the photocycloaddition under aerobic
