Enhanced ir-ir Stacking between Dipole-Bearing Single Molecules Revealed by Conductance Measurement

Chengyang Zhang et al.

Summary: By using scanning tunneling microscopy break junction measurements, this study reveals that polar aromatic structures formed by azulene-based single molecules have higher electrical conductivity and mechanical stability than nonpolar molecules formed by naphthalene-based single molecules. The relative alignment of the dipole moments significantly enhances the electronic coupling and mechanical stability of the ir-ir stacking. This research provides evidence and interpretation of the role of dipoles in ir-ir interactions at the single-molecule level and offers new insights into potential applications in supramolecular devices.

Electronic Transport in Molecular Wires of Precisely Controlled Length Built from Modular Proteins

Bintian Zhang et al.

Summary: DNA molecular wires have been extensively studied, while the same is not true for proteins. In this study, a series of consensus tetratricopeptide repeat (CTPR) proteins were synthesized and studied, and it was found that their conductance exceeded that of the canonical molecular wire oligo(phenylene-ethylenene). The decay of conductance with length in the protein followed an exponential pattern, characteristic of quantum tunneling, and a square-law dependence on length, characteristic of weakly driven hopping. Measurements of the energy dependence of the decay length ruled out the quantum tunneling case, and a resonance in the carrier injection energy showed alignment with the Fermi energy of the electrodes.

Hao Yu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the highly efficient intermolecular charge transport of pyridinium molecules through the dimerization process inside the cavity of a synthetic host. Molecular modeling using density functional theory reveals that the dimerization process results in planarization of the pyridinium molecules and large intermolecular LUMO-LUMO couplings, leading to enhanced intermolecular charge transport.

Efficient Charge Transport Driven by Strong Intermolecular Interactions in Cyclopentadithiophene-Based Donor-Acceptor Type Conjugated Copolymers

Jiyoul Lee et al.

Summary: Understanding the charge transport in donor-acceptor (D-A) type copolymers is crucial for designing high-mobility polymers. In this study, the charge transport properties of three D-A type copolymers based on cyclopentadithiophene (CDT) were investigated. It was found that CDT-PTz exhibited the best charge transport, with the lowest energetic disorder and a hole mobility of 0.79 +/- 0.01 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) in field-effect transistors. The structural properties of CDT-PTz, including a rigid and planar backbone structure and a strong intramolecular dipole moment, were attributed to noncovalent N-S interactions and the strong electron-withdrawing PTz acceptor unit. These properties resulted in strong intermolecular interactions and enhanced pi-pi stacking, leading to improved mobility in CDT-PTz.
