Abstract
Aromatic and aromatic/heteroaromatic molecular structures with controllable electron conducting properties are derived from the incorporation of electron active substituents in selective positions.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/429169, filed Nov. 26, 2002.
- The invention is directed to the preparation of novel aromatic and aromatic/heteroaromatic molecular structures with controllable electron conducting properties which can form self-assembled layers on metal or other substrates, and can be used in molecular scaled electronic devices.
- The expanding commercial interest in the generation of small nano-scale electronic devices highlights a need for the generation of a new class of conductive molecules that are functionalized for use in nano-electronic device fabrication. However, the discovery of new conductive molecules for this is fraught with difficulty. For example, little is known about the specifics of how conductive molecules work. Additionally, it is difficult to connect conductive molecules to electrodes and even more difficult to perform conductivity measurements on single molecules. In addition to the difficulties in construction, the design of new molecules possessing useful properties is hampered by the lack of a facile method for correlating the effects of optical transitions to electronic molecular properties. Once a structure is designed, the synthesis, purification and growth of single crystals of molecules as large as these is not easily accomplished. Typically, multistep separations are required. Finally, the coupling of different aromatic and heteroaromatic building blocks is difficult to achieve because substituted structures are prone to side reactions and long reaction times.
- In spite of these difficulties a number of conductive molecules have been synthesized. For example, Tours et al (WO 00/01360; (S. J. Tour,Acc. Chem Res., 33, 791, 2000) teaches the assembly of molecular structures consisting of phenylene/ethynylene units and the measurement of the resistance/conductivity of a self-assembled monolayer deposited on a pattern of electrodes. Very few of these structures have been demonstrated to display distinct negative differential resistance (NDR) (increased resistance with increasing driving voltage) and then only under specific conditions, mostly at low temperatures.
- Additionally several groups (J. Chen, et al,Science, Vol 286, pg. 1550, 1999; E. W. Wong et al, JACS, 2000, 122, 5821-5840; have synthesized conducting molecules and measured the negative differential resistance behavior and conductivity of a monolayer of this material between two surfaces. C. P. Collier et al, (Science, vol. 285, 16 Jul. 1999) have synthesized rotaxanes and catenanes molecules, made monolayers of these molecules using Langmuir-Blogett techniques, and demonstrated resonant tunneling current flow derived from the reversible inter-conversion between two different states.
- The above listed references teach the synthesis of useful compounds, however do not address the need for functionalized molecules specifically adapted for facile nano-device fabrication.
- Applicants have met the stated need with the design and synthesis of novel aromatic and aromatic/heteroaromatic having specific substituents useful for the incorporating these molecules into nano-electronic devices.
- The invention provides new aromatic/heteroaromatic conducting molecules useful in nano-electronic devices and methods of making the same. The molecules of the invention may additionally comprise barrier groups (—CH2, cyclic, etc.) and are versatile, allowing for the assembly of molecular components (possessing different terminal groups) in two or three dimensions.

- The invention provides conducting molecules having substituents strategically placed within the molecule which affect the electrical conducting properties of the molecule.
- Design and Synthesis of Conducting Molecules
- It is one object of the present invention to design and prepare conducting molecules in such a manner so as to control the electronic conduction properties of the resulting compounds. A number of possible building blocks for preparation are possible, where aromatic and aromatic/heteroaromatic molecules are preferred. These may be linked together in configurations in which π low energy orbitals are delocalized from one end to the other end of the molecule by incorporating specific types of electron-active groups as substituents in selected positions.
- The aromatic and or aromatic/heteroaromatic structures of the present invention are synthesized via cross-coupling reactions of halogenated aromatic compounds with terminal aromatic acetylenes as illustrated in the examples. Various electron active, withdrawing (F, CF3, SO2CF3) and donating ((N(CH3)2, N(C2H5)2) groups are used to substitute different positions of the aromatic and heteroaromatic rings in order to vary the conduction properties and/or achieve controlled response with voltage fluctuations. The ends of these molecules are individually functionalized with groups such as SH, pyridine, CN, SCN, etc. to promote the absorption and self-assembly (SA) on metal surfaces including Au, Cu, Pd, Pt, Ni, Al, Al2O3, etc. The ability of these groups to promote molecular self-assembly has been well documented (see for example George M. Whitesides; Scientific American, September 1995). The SA may be achieved either by microcontact printing or flooding the metal surfaces or both.
- In some instances it will be useful to further functionalize the molecules of the invention to enhance their ability to bind to various substrates. For example functional end groups such as SCN, NH2 can be utilized as binding sites for biological and other molecules. Biological materials that can be bond in this manner include but are not limited to nucleic acid (DNA, RNA and peptide nucleic acids (PNA)), proteins, lipids and complex macromolecules comprising combinations of the same. End groups of this sort are referred to herein as “alligator clips” or “molecular fragments” for their ability to link up with other molecules. The use of alligator clip functionalization will permit the construction of hybrid organic/inorganic/biological devices. For example it is expected that molecules having these functional groups could interact with DNA by intercalating one or more aromatic groups between base pairs of the double helix. Such molecules are expected to have applications in biosensors or other biomedical devices as described for example by Lokey et al., Journal of the American Society, 119, pp. 7202-7210, 1997
- In other applications binding to various metals will be useful. In these applications the use of co-absorption of two types of molecules, one electron-donor and the other electron acceptor to the metal, is expected to lead to the formation of ordered SA surface structures with both molecules in the same surface unit cell. The molecules of the invention combine the ability to electron conduct/insulate and/or switch with the ability to build self-assembled mono- or multilayers and supramolecular objects that are neither mono nor layers and are thus particularly useful in the construction of nano-electronic devices.
- Several aids are available in the design of the molecules of the invention. For example changes in optical absorption characteristics derived from structural variations of molecular self-assemblies monitored by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) can be correlated with interband transitions and used to directly demonstrate the control of electronic properties. These techniques may be used to determine the effectiveness of various substituents to alter electrical conducting properties in the molecules of the invention.
- Synthesis of Conducting Supramolecules
- Once the conducting molecule is designed it may be assembled into molecular conglomerates or supramolecules having conducting properties. Redox chemistry and photochemistry make use of the alligator clip functionality and can be used to build up supramolecular objects sequentially.
- For example a first molecule (M1) comprising a plurality of functional “alligator clip” groups may be redox reacted (by gas exposure or photoexcitation) resulting in the disassociation of the clips. A second or third molecule (M2 or M3) may then be contacted with the reacted M1 where self-assembly will take place. Additional units may be added to the complex in a similar fashion by repeating the process. The sequential nature of this molecular construction is particularly effective in the construction of supermolecular switches and sensing devices.
- Once assembled it may be useful to immobilize these supramolecular structures on a solid support in a patterned or unpatterned fashion as components in nano-electronic devices. It is contemplated that at least two and preferably a plurality of these supramolecular structures may be laid down on a substrate. Suitable substrates for this purpose include, but are not limited to silicon wafers, synthetic polymer supports, such as polystyrene, polypropylene, polyglycidylmethacrylate, substituted polystyrene (e.g., aminated or carboxylated polystyrene; polyacrylamides; polyamides; polyvinylchlorides, etc.), glass, agarose, nitrocellulose, nylon, nickel grids or disks, carbon supports, aminosilane-treated silica, polylysine coated glass, mica, and semiconductors such as Si, Ge, and GaAs.
- When a conducting molecule is fixed to the surface of a substrate it may be contacted with a redox of photochemical reagent which results in the activation of the molecule. By “activation” it is meant that a conducting molecule is treated in a manner whereby it is disposed to reacting with other conducting molecules for the generation of a supramolecular structure. The activated molecules are then contacted with additional conducting molecules and supramolecular structures are sequentially constructed.
- The conductive molecules of the invention are expected to have metallic (ohmic) and in some cases semiconductive behavior. These behaviors lend themselves to the use of these compounds both as interconnects and as actual electronic devices (e.g., switches, logic gates). In one instance, the conductive molecules are expected to be able to link nanometer scale electronic devices together permitting the fabrication of high-density electronic circuits. It is contemplated that it will be possible to array these compounds in a crossed arrangement, where the distance between adjacent molecules can be controlled by the potential difference between them, then the array could be used as a non-volatile memory device. Examples of such construction is described by Rueckes T. et al. (2000).Science 289, 94-97 for carbon nanotubes. Semiconducting molecules could find use in 3-terminal gated devices which can be used directly as switches, amplifiers or logic gates. Other possible applications include point sources for emission in field-emission display devices and as conductive inclusions in conductive coatings.

It should be understood that these Examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only. From the above discussion and these Examples, one skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various uses and conditions.

- Differences in electrical conducting properties of the conducting molecules of the invention may be detected by measuring various spectroscopic and ellipsometric parameters. This example demonstrates various differences in those parameters in the compounds made and disclosed herein, indicating a variation in their electrical conduction.
- The compounds used in this example are drawn from the previous examples. These compounds were subjected to self-assembly chemistry on gold, and silicon substrates. The Au substrates were thin films depositions on Si wafers with a Ti layer for adhesion. The Au substrate was further cleaned in a UV/ozone plasma cleaner.
- The self-assembly was then prepared on the substrates using the procedures described in C. Zhou, et al, Appl. Phys. Lett. 71, 611, 1997; M. T. Cygan, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 120, 2721-2732, 1998; and J. Chen, et al, Science, Vol 286, pg. 1550, 1999 Optical properties (index of refraction, “n” and extinction coefficient, “k”) were determined from variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) at three incident angles covering the wavelength range from 143-800 nm, corresponding to an energy range of 1.5-8.67 eV. The samples for ellipsometry consisted of the self-assembled molecules on a gold-coated silicon wafer substrate. The VASE ellipsometer was manufactured by J. A. Woollam Company, 645 M Street, Suite 102, Lincoln, Neb. 68508 USA. Optical constants were fit to these data simultaneously, using an optical model of the film on the substrate. This method is described in O. S. Heavens, Optical Properties of Thin Solid Films, pp. 55-62, Dover, N.Y., 1991.
- Two approaches were used in the Ellipsometric modeling: a Cauchy (C) or a Spectral Cauchy (SC). In the Cauchy model fits, the index of refraction n of the self-assembled molecules was presumed to have a fixed value. Most typically n was set equal to 1.45, and then only the thickness of the self-assembled molecules was fitted. In the SC approach, the thickness found with the Cauchy model, was then fixed, and the optical constants, the complex index of refraction n+ik, was then fitted as a function of wave length. This allowed the determination of the spectral variation of the index of refraction and the extinction coefficient and gave a direct insight into the optical absorptions and electronic transitions in the self assembled molecules.
- The results are shown in FIGS.6-11, and below in Table 1. Hexane and lodyne form insulating SAMs and were measured for comparison.
TABLE 1 Electronic X-ray Ellips. Transition Molecule Length Length Energies Comp. Ex. 1: 21.5 Å 18.3 Å — Hexadecane Comp. Ex. 2: 13.8 Å 5-6 Å — Lodyne Ex. 9: PETB 10.31 Å 14.1 Å 2.7 eV 11.6 Å 15.1 Å Ex. 10: pF-PETB 12.74 Å 12.8 Å 2.95 eV Ex. 11: 3N-PETB 21.87 Å 12.8 Å 4.1 eV Ex. 12: 3-PETB 21.87 Å 70.3 Å 4.0 eV Ex 13: 2F2NC3B 21.73 Å 35.0 Å 6.3 eV 7.2 eV 7.6 eV Abs. Edge - These data indicate that (a) the new compounds of the invention are indeed electrical conducting and (b) that the variations made in the placement and type of the various substituents resulted in changes in the electrical conductive properties of the compounds.
