Polyaminoquinone self-assembled films on electrodes: synthesis of all-organic molecular wires by solution phase epitaxy

Abstract

Redox active molecular wires consisting of successive benzoquinone and diamino moieties are formed on a gold surface using repetitive self-assembly and solution epitaxy.
