Abstract

To investigate interference phenomena and con­duc­tance properties in mechanically controlled break junctions (MCBJs), macrocycles 1 and 2 (BMCs: for BenzeneMacroCycles), containing a meta-substituted benzene moiety with solubilizing tert-butyl groups, as well as structures 3 and 4 (TMCs: for ThiopheneMacroCycles), featuring 2,5-connected 3,4-hexyl-thio­phene corners, were synthesized. Macrocycles 1 and 2 respect­ively 3 and 4 differ in the positions of the acetyl-protected sulfur anchoring groups, which impacts both, the individual transport efficiency of their parallel electronic pathways and their overall molecular wire lengths. All macrocycles were synthesized based on a series of Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. For 3 and 4, a 2-(4-pyridin­yl)ethyl protecting group for the sulfur atoms was successful, while for macrocycles 1 and 2 the more common tert-butyl protecting group did the job. To our delight, proof-of-concept charge transport studies conducted in an MCBJ setup demon­strated the expected trends regarding improved conductance intensities for the TMCs compared to the BMCs. Furthermore, the corres­ponding molecular plateaus from the breaking experiments were in the expected length range of the S-S distances for all compounds. We also found that the overall conductance seems to follow a more complex transport mechanism than just the sum of contributions from both channels.
设计和合成用于量子干涉研究的多径紧凑环烷
为了研究机械控制断裂结(MCBJ)中的干涉现象和传导特性,我们合成了含有元取代苯分子和增溶叔丁基的大环 1 和 2(BMC:代表苯大环),以及具有 2,5 连接的 3,4-hexyl-thiophene 角的结构 3 和 4(TMC:代表噻吩大环)。大环 1 和大环 2、大环 3 和大环 4 在乙酰基保护的硫锚定基团的位置上有所不同,这既影响了平行电子通路的传输效率,也影响了它们的整体分子线长度。所有大环都是通过一系列索诺伽希拉交叉偶联反应合成的。对于 3 号和 4 号大环,硫原子上的 2-(4-吡啶基)乙基保护基团取得了成功,而对于 1 号和 2 号大环,更常见的叔丁基保护基团则发挥了作用。令我们欣喜的是,在 MCBJ 设置中进行的概念验证电荷传输研究表明,与 BMC 相比,TMC 的电导强度出现了预期的改善趋势。此外,所有化合物在断裂实验中产生的相应分子高原都在 S-S 距离的预期长度范围内。我们还发现,整体电导似乎遵循一种更复杂的传输机制,而不仅仅是两个通道的贡献之和。
