A comparison of potential molecular wires as components for molecular electronics

Robertson, Neil, McGowan, Craig A.·2003·Chemical Society Reviews

Abstract

The field of electronics using single-molecule components has recently received much attention as a possible new design concept for the continued miniturisation of electronics. Molecular wires are the conceptually simplest components of such electronic systems and several different compound types have been used to produce molecular wires. Examples of some of the most promising families of molecular wires are presented, namely conjugated hydrocarbons, carbon nanotubes, porphyrin oligomers and DNA. Discussion centres around their potential use in functioning electronic architectures in terms of their electronic properties, ease and controllability of synthesis and potential for self-assembly.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
