Abstract

ABSTRACTDescribed is the solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis of oligo(2-dodecylphenyleneethynylene) s via an iterative divergent/convergent approach. Synthesized were the monomer, dimer, tetramer, octamer and 16-mer of the oligo(2-dodecylphenylene-thynylene)s. The synthetic protocol for the synthesis and attachment of protected thiol-containing end groups is also described which may serve as molecular alligator clips for adhesion to gold surfaces. These oligomers may act as molecular wires in molecular electronic devices.
