Tuning electron transfer through p-phenyleneethynylene molecular wires†
Abstract
Weak wire-like behavior—with a damping factor (β) of 0.2 ± 0.05 Å−1—has been found in a series of C60–wire–exTTF systems (i.e., p-phenyleneethynylene): these results contrast with previous observations involving p-phenylenevinylene systems.
