We observed that single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) was aligned in the presence of TTF. This alignment was induced by a specific interaction between SWNT and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), a well-known organic donor. The interaction between the two molecules can be explained by a charge-transfer, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy. The binding energies of S (2P1/2) and S (2P3/2) were shifted from 163.0 eV and 164.1 eV to 163.9 eV and 165.1 eV, respectively. In Raman spectra of the SWNT-TTF, three peaks of SWNT in radial breathing mode were also upshifted by 4–5 cm−1. The charge-transfer interaction also contributed in modifying the electronic structure of SWNT and furthermore enhanced the electrical conductivity of SWNT. A more conductive thin film was fabricated using the SWNT-TTF. Four-probe measurement revealed that the surface resistance of the SWNT-TTF film was reduced to 4.359 Ω at room temperature while that of SWNT film was 6.894 Ω. These results enable carbon nanotubes to be utilized more for practically for industrial applications in fabricating peculiar nano-sized building blocks.

A simple route to the preparation of benzodipyrrolidone (BDP) based monomeric building blocks containing 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines is reported from a common precursor 4′-(4-pinacolatoboronphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine via Suzuki coupling reaction. Self-assembly polymerization with ruthenium (II) ions under mild conditions yielded a series of novel metallo-supramolecular polymers with weak donor-acceptor (D-A) structures based on benzodipyrrolidone. The structure of the bridge connected BDP with terpyridine have a significant impact on the wavelength and intensity of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorption peak. The resulting metallo-polymers exhibited strong double absorption bands around 315 nm and 510 nm involved in π-π* transitions and ICT or metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bands. The forming of D-A structure and coordination with ruthenium (II) ions is favorable to narrow the energy gap and the energy gaps of the resulting metallo-supramolecular polymers are 2.01 and 1.62 eV, respectively.

Abstract New 1,3-dithiolium derivatives have been synthesized by heterocyclocondensation of various 3-methylpiperidinyl carbodithioates derived from 2-hydroxypropiophenones. Thus, 1,3-dithiolium perchlorates have been obtained by the treatment of the corresponding dithiocarbamates with a mixture of acetic and sulfuric acid, followed by the addition of perchloric acid. 1,3-Dithiolium perchlorates have been converted to the corresponding 2-(1,3-dithiolium) phenolates under weak basic conditions. These phenolates exhibit mesoionic character with an internal charge transfer absorption band.

Background: The trend for the fabrication of electrical circuits with nanoscale dimensions has led to impressive progress in the field of molecular electronics in the last decade. However, a theoretical description of molecular contacts as the building blocks of future devices is challenging, as it has to combine the properties of Fermi liquids in the leads with charge and phonon degrees of freedom on the molecule. Outside of ab initio schemes for specific set-ups, generic models reveal the characteristics of transport processes. Particularly appealing are descriptions based on transfer rates successfully used in other contexts such as mesoscopic physics and intramolecular electron transfer. However, a detailed analysis of this scheme in comparison with numerically exact solutions is still elusive. Results: We show that a formulation in terms of transfer rates provides a quantitatively accurate description even in domains of parameter space where strictly it is expected to fail, e.g., at lower temperatures. Typically, intramolecular phonons are distributed according to a voltage driven steady state that can only roughly be captured by a thermal distribution with an effective elevated temperature (heating). An extension of a master equation for the charge–phonon complex, to effectively include the impact of off-diagonal elements of the reduced density matrix, provides very accurate solutions even for stronger electron–phonon coupling. Conclusion: Rate descriptions and master equations offer a versatile model to describe and understand charge transfer processes through molecular junctions. Such methods are computationally orders of magnitude less expensive than elaborate numerical simulations that, however, provide exact solutions as benchmarks. Adjustable parameters obtained, e.g., from ab initio calculations allow for the treatment of various realizations. Even though not as rigorously formulated as, e.g., nonequilibrium Green’s function methods, they are conceptually simpler, more flexible for extensions, and from a practical point of view provide accurate results as long as strong quantum correlations do not modify the properties of the relevant subunits substantially.
