Nanoarchitectonics of molecular self assembled monolayers by transition metal ion intercalation for enhancement of molecular junction conductivity
Abstract
This research delves into the role of metal ions in enhancing the electronic properties of 5,5′-bis(mercaptomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine (BPD) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It combines experimental techniques and numerical simulations to understand the impact of these ions on the structural, electronic, and transport properties of BPD SAMs. Key findings include the varied bonding preferences of metal ions and their significant role in modifying the electronic structure of BPD molecules, leading to enhanced electron delocalization and migration. The study highlights the potential of metal ions in advancing molecular electronics, particularly in the development of high-performance electronic and energy devices.
