Electrically Conductive Macromolecules via Cofacial Assembly Techniques.
Abstract
The properties of low-dimensional mixed valence material consisting of molecular stacks are critically dependent on the rather capricious and unpredictable intermolecular forces that dictate whether stacks form, whether the stacks are segregated, the orientation of donor with respect to acceptor the relative orientation of units within a stack, and the stacking repeat distance. Discussed in this lecture are rational approaches to overcome such problems by combining polymer chemistry with recently developed methodology for synthesizing stacked, partially oxidized metallomacrocycles and for measuring the degree of incomplete charge transfer. New results on the chemical, structural, and electronic properties of highly conductive macro-molecules prepared by covalently linking metallomacrocycles in a rigid, face-to-face configuration as shown below, followed by doping, are presented.
