    摘要: The present invention is a design paradigm for molecular scale electronic systems wherein electronic information is transmitted and processed, and electronic logic is obtained by changing the electrostatic potential of a molecule. The signal may be restored using an external potential through the underlying substrate. Several convergent synthetic routes are shown to conjugated molecules with various potential electronic device applications including a two-terminal molecular wire with a transport barrier, a molecular wire with two transport barriers, three-terminal junctions, three-terminal structures with switch-like possibilities, and four-terminal systems that could serve as logical gates without the use of multiple transistors. Ab initio computational methods are used to show that (i) molecules can be considered active electronic devices able to transfer the information from one molecule to another, (ii) the electrostatic potential can also be used as a tool to perform logical operations, and (iii) that the molecules synthesized here could perform the functions for which they were designed.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods of preparing functionalized graphene nanoribbons. Such methods include: (1) exposing a plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to an alkali metal source in the presence of an aprotic solvent to open them; and (2) exposing the opened CNTs to an electrophile to form functionalized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The methods may also include a step of exposing the opened CNTs to a protic solvent to quench any reactive species on them. Additional methods include preparing unfunctionalized GNRs by: (1) exposing a plurality of CNTs to an alkali metal source in the presence of an aprotic solvent to open them; and (2) exposing the opened CNTs to a protic solvent to form unfunctionalized GNRs.
