Monolayer and Multilayer Thin Films Based on Inorganic Solids

这个项目，在分析和表面化学计划，将开发新的方法来合成新的超分子体系。特别是，基于结构表征的层状无机化合物的有序和化学坚固的表面多层膜将被合成。层状金属磷酸盐和磷酸盐将由能够进行沃森-克里克碱基配对和其他多点协同氢键相互作用的前体合成。本文还将制备基于Hoffmann包合物结构的多层薄膜，并对薄膜的结构、主客体化学、电化学和光学性质进行研究。该项目涉及开发基于层状无机化合物的复杂多层结构（薄膜）的新技术。这些技术旨在增加新兴的“纳米制造”技术，该技术依赖于湿化学方法而不是超高真空沉积。这可能最终导致分子级电子、光学和其他类型器件的成功制备。

This project, in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, will develop new methods for the synthesis of novel supra- molecular systems. In particular, well-ordered and chemically robust surface multilayer films based on structurally charact- erized lamellar inorganic compounds will be synthesized. Layered metal phosphates and phosphonates will be synthesized from precursors capable of Watson-Crick base pairing and other multipoint cooperative hydrogen bonding interactions. Multilayer thin films based on Hoffmann clathrate structures will also be prepared and the structure, host-guest chemistry, electrochemistry, and optical properties of the films will be investigated. %%% This project involves the development of new techniques for growing complex, multilayer structures (films) based on lamellar inorganic compounds. These techniques are inteneded to add to an emerging "nanofabrication" technology which depends upon wet-chemical methods rather than ultrahigh vacuum deposition. This may ultimately lead to the successful preparation of molecular-scale electronic, optical, and other type devices.
