Infrared spectroscopic studies on the structure and ordering of hexadecanoyltetrathiafulvalene conducting Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers

Adsorption of n-butyl-substituted tetrathiafulvalene dodecanethiol on gold

“…The self-assembly technique is one way to prepare ordered thin films of organic materials [4,5]. Several studies have been made on SAMs systems with tetrathiafulvalenes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. SAMs with TTFs have been suggested for different possible applications as organic electronic thin-film devices [13,14].…”

Conjugated compounds in supramolecular informational systems: A review

“…The most widely used method for film doping is their chemical treatment after deposition, for example, in the presence of an oxidizer like I 2 in the gaseous phase [322,323]. Although oxidation in this case usually occurs, the films frequently remain unstable and prone to reverse recharging and loss of doping additives.…”

Photomagnetic molecular and extended network Langmuir–Blodgett films based on cyanide bridged molybdenum–copper complexes

“…44,45 The main strategies for graing discrete magnetic or photomagnetic molecules on surfaces involve functionalizing either the molecule itself or the surface 46 with anchoring linkers. 53,57,70,71 The present study describes for the rst time the deposition of molecular photomagnetic molybdenum-copper cyanometallate complexes onto a transparent support using Langmuir-Blodgett techniques. [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] Langmuir-Blodgett deposition is another approach that affords a number of advantages when working with moleculebased systems.…”

“…On the other hand the more traditional approach to depositing active molecules, which is used in the current study, involves the direct functionalization of the compound so that the molecule itself is used as a surfactant to form the monolayer. 53,57,70,71 The present study describes for the rst time the deposition of molecular photomagnetic molybdenum-copper cyanometallate complexes onto a transparent support using Langmuir-Blodgett techniques. Molybdenum-copper cyanometallate complexes are generally prepared by self-assembling preformed copper complexes, [Cu-L] 2+ , (L being an amino polydentate ligand) with an octacyanomolybdate complex, [Mo(CN) 8 ] 4À .…”
