NIRT: Novel Nanoengineered Chromophore Aggregates with Controlled Electronic and Optical Properties

该NIRT项目的重点是具有受控电子和光学性质的新型纳米工程发色团聚集体，其目的是设计，合成，光学表征和新型材料的建模，目的是对有机构建块之间的电荷转移和光学功能进行纳米级控制。 这里提出的定义明确的聚集体是与分子电子学相关的重要新系统。 这项研究考察了单分子作为微电路元件（如开关、存储器和晶体管）的潜力。 本研究将合成含有对环蕃接触的分子聚集体并用于本项目。 对环芳二聚体的光学和电学特性的研究将集中在对环芳二聚体上。

The focus of this NIRT project on Novel Nanoengineered Chromophore Aggregates with Controlled Electronic and Optical Properties is on the design, synthesis, optical characterization, and modeling of novel materials, with the objective of nanoscale control of charge transfer and optical functionality between organic building blocks. The well-defined aggregates proposed here are important new systems of relevance to molecular electronics. The research examines the potential of single molecules as microcircuitary components such as switches, memory and transistors. Molecular aggregates which contain paracycophane contacts will be synthesized and used in this project. The investigation on the optical and electronic characteristics will be focused on the paracyclophane dimmers.
