Results deal specifically with molecular electronic junctions, where electronic contacts and transport are known to be sensitive to sample history and ambient exposure. We demonstrate that low-temperature atomic layer deposition can gently encapsulate and stabilize molecular electronic junctions, making it feasible to handle and transport junctions in air for many days with minimal change in electronic conduction. These findings indicate the potential for long-term stability of advanced synthetic nanoparticle/molecule nanoconstructs. For this study, conductivity through nanoparticle/molecule/nanoparticle junctions is analyzed and found to be consistent with nonresonant charge tunneling through a single or a small number of oligomeric phenylene ethynylene molecules in the electrical junction.

However, as is shown here, they are often not reliable or convenient. Here, an approach is reported that is efficient and general. Use of this approach to synthesize several two- and three-armed oligo(phenylene ethynylene) molecules with differentiated end groups is reported. In addition, preliminary characterization of the fluorescent properties of some of these molecules and their ability to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is reported.}, number={30}, journal={TETRAHEDRON}, author={Chandra, Kusum L. and Zhang, Sheng and Gorman, Christopher B.}, year={2007}, month={Jul}, pages={7120–7132} }
