Abstract

In continuation of previous studies showing promising metal− molecule contact properties a variety of C60 end-capped “molecular wires” for molecular electronics were prepared by variants of the Prato 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Either benzene or fluorene was chosen as the central wire, and synthetic protocols for derivatives terminated with one or two fullero [c] pyrrolidine “electrode anchoring” groups were developed. An aryl-substituted ...
