ABSTRACTThe progress of the Organic Rectifier Project (ORP) is reviewed. Several molecules of the type D-σ-A (D=organic one-electron donor, σ = covalent saturated bridge, A = organic one-electron acceptor) have been synthesized, to test the Aviram-Ratner Ansatz that they could be one-molecule thick rectifiers of electrical current. Many of these molecules (σ= urethane) self-assemble as Langmuir-Blodgett films; the cyclic voltammetry peaks confirm that these molecules preserve the good D and A characteristics. Calculations confirm that the zwitterionic state D+-σ-A- is much below the state D-σ-A+, as expected. Preliminary tests of electrical rectification have failed. With the installation of a new scanning electron microscope, the Aviram-Ratner Ansatz will soon be put to a final and definitive test

Different LB films of poly(octadecene-co-maleic anhydride), PMAO, poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) partial 2 butoxy ethyl ester cumene terminated, PS-MA-BEE, and Gemini surfactant ethyl-bis(dimethyl octadecylammonium bromide), 18-2-18, have been used to study the effect of the substrate coating on the surface self-assembly of CdSe quantum dots (QDs). Results show that all the “coating molecules” avoid the 3D aggregation of QDs observed when these nanoparticles are directly deposited on mica. Different morphologies were observed depending on the molecules used as coatings, and this was related to the surface properties, such as wetting ability, and the morphology of the coating LB films.

The lanthanide directed self-assembly of chiral amphiphilic pda based ligands 1 and 2 with TbIII, SmIII, LuIII and DyIII salts was studied in CH3CN solution and as SAM LB-films.
