(BIO) ORGANIC OLIGOMERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF MACROMOLECULES

摘要

A macromolecular architecture suitable for use in molecular electronics. And in the manufacture of conductors and semi-conductors has been synthesised using linear and branched oligomers of organic molecules. The incorporation of a bi-or tri-functional organic compound in an oligonucleotide chain and the application of these for formation of covalently linked organic and metal-organic oligomers has led to a novel molecular architecture. Furthermore, the iterative serial synthesis of linear and branched organic oligomers by automated methods such as DNA-synthesis or peptide synthesis, using bi- or tri-functional organic monomers is described herein. The novel compounds may be used to position and arrange nanoscale substrates such as biomolecules, biological structures, colloids, supramolecular structures forming covalently linked assemblies for use as conducting wires and components in electronic devices.
