本项目旨在开发用于未来电子应用的有机金属配合物分子整流器。有机金属分子将成为电子器件的一个组成部分，以改善半导体结晶所产生的技术问题。预期的结果是一种新的方法，分子设计，提供了一个整流反应，在单分子和大面积分子结。这将通过解决分子电子学的重大挑战来建立澳大利亚的制造能力，并加强国际合作和声誉。由此产生的好处包括熟练的研究人员，澳大利亚研究的国际化和对基础科学的贡献。

This project aims to develop molecular rectifiers incorporating organometallic complexes for future electronics applications. The organometallic molecules will be an integral part of the electronic device to ameliorate the technological problems arising from miniaturisation of semiconductors. Expected outcomes are a new approach to molecular designs that provide a rectifying response in single molecules and large area molecular junctions. This should build manufacturing capacity in Australia and enhance international collaboration and reputation by addressing significant challenges in molecular electronics. Benefits arising include skilled researchers, internationalisation of Australian research and contributions to fundamental science.
