Abstract

Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films of 5-(4-dibutylaminobenzylidene)-2-octadecyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolinium octadecylsulfate, co-deposited in a 1 ∶ 1 ratio with octadecanoic acid and sandwiched between gold electrodes, have shown asymmetric current–voltage characteristics with an optimum rectification ratio of 70 at ±1 V; the use of noble metal electrodes provides unambiguous evidence of molecular rectification.
