Approaches to Orthogonally Fused Conducting Polymers for Molecular Electronics

摘要

Described is the synthesis of two spiro core segments of orthogonally arrangedconducting systems. The final systems are to have a potentially conducting chain fused perpendicularly to a second potentially conducting chain via a sigma bonded network. These systems may be suitable for incorporation into future molecular electronic devices. One of the core segments synthesized is based on a thiophene conducting group and it is formed by a zirconium-promoted bis(bicyclization) of bis(diyne) systems. The second is a phenylene-based system which is derived from fluorene.
