Surface Synthesis of Molecular Wire Architectures

The synthesis of a molecular wire assembly is a key technology to construct molecular architectures toward single-molecular organic electronic devices. Two new methods to fabricate highly organized and assembled molecular wires are described: 1. one-dimensionally assembled polythiophene molecular wires by electrochemical epitaxial polymerization; 2. multilayered graphene nanoribbon assemblies by two-z one chemical vapor deposition.
