Conductance Switching in Single Molecules Through Conformational Changes
Zachary J. Donhauser,Brent A. Mantooth,Kevin F. Kelly,Lloyd A. Bumm,Jason D. Monnell,Joshua J. Stapleton,David W. Price,Adam M. Rawlett,David L. Allara,James M. Tour,Paul S. Weiss +10 more
TL;DR: Over time the conductance switching of single and bundled phenylene ethynylene oligomers isolated in matrices of alkanethiolate monolayers is tracked, concluding that the switching is a result of conformational changes in the molecules or bundles, rather than electrostatic effects of charge transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are Single Molecular Wires Conducting
Lloyd A. Bumm,J. J. Arnold,M. T. Cygan,T. D. Dunbar,T. P. Burgin,LeRoy Jones,David L. Allara,James M. Tour,Paul S. Weiss +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors inserted conjugated molecules, which were 4,4′-di(phenylene-ethynylene)benzenethiolate derivatives, formed single molecular wires that extended from the Au{111} substrate to about 7 angstroms above.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diazonium Functionalization of Surfactant-Wrapped Chemically Converted Graphene Sheets
TL;DR: Surfactant-wrapped chemically converted graphene sheets obtained from reduction of graphene oxide with hydrazine were functionalized by treatment with aryl diazonium salts, allowing alternative avenues for simple incorporation into different polymer matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated Macromolecules of Precise Length and Constitution. Organic Synthesis for the Construction of Nanoarchitectures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covalent chemistry of single-wall carbon nanotubes
Jeffrey L. Bahr,James M. Tour +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current state of carbon nanotube covalent chemistry, and convey their anxious expectation that further developments will follow, and conclude that carbon Nanotubes may indeed be considered a true segment of organic chemistry.
