Abstract

As we rapidly approach the point at which solid-state electronic devices cease to be made any smaller, molecular scale electronics offers, perhaps, the best chance for a continued miniaturization of computational devices. We must, however, completely re-think our approach to lithography. Presented in this paper are our solution-phase and solid-support based syntheses of molecular wires of precise length and dimensions, and our methods of addressing these wires via molecular “alligator clips” to gold and platinum electrodes of macroscale dimensions.
