Outline of Final Research Achievements

Single-molecule electronics have attracted a great deal of attention in terms of the bottom-up construction and ultimate miniaturization of electronics. Development of novel materials for this application has become an active area of research. We have designed and synthesized new pi-conjugated systems for the use in “insulated molecular wire” and “anchor” units. Structurally well-defined oligothiophenes with insulation were developed as a key framework of molecular wires. The tripodal structures with anchoring functional groups were developed to function as anchor units.
