Abstract

One of the main goals of molecular electronics is the mastery of intramolecular electron transfer over long distances. Although interesting results have been obtained with polyenes' or phenyl groups2 as bridging units between metallic centres, a class of molecules exhibiting simultaneously: (i) a large defined length, allowing connection to ultrasmall metallic structures;3 (ii) conjugated character, to ensure efficient electron transfer; (iii) rigid ...
