The present invention relates to molecules exhibiting rectifying properties. In particular, the present invention relates to a molecular rectifying assembly, comprising the general structure METAL1-CON1-BRIDGE-CON2-METAL2 in which CON1 and CON2 are a connecting group or connecting part and independently of each other are molecular groups bound to METAL1,2 in such a way that an adsorbate state with an energy close to the Fermi energy of the metal is formed at one or both of the METAL1,2/CON1,2 interfaces, METAL is selected from metals and/or alloys of metals, and BRIDGE is the core of the molecule, consisting of pi-conjugated and non-conjugated parts. Furthermore, the present invention relates to uses of said molecular rectifying assembly or the production of electronic devices where molecules are placed between at least two electrodes.

The invention relates to tuned multifunctional linker molecules for charge transport through organic-inorganic composite structures. The problem underlying the present invention is to provide multifunctional linker molecules for tuning the conductivity in nanoparticle-linker assemblies which can be used in the formation of electronic networks and circuits and thin films of nanoparticles. The problem is solved according to the invention by providing a multifunctional linker molecule of the general structure CON1-FUNC1-X-FUNC2-CON2 in which X is the central body of the molecule, FUNC1 and FUNC2 independently of each other are molecular groups introducing a dipole moment and/or capable of forming intermolecular and/or intramolecular hydrogen bonding networks, and CON 1 and CON 2 independently of each other are molecular groups binding to nanostructured units comprising metal and semiconductor materials.

The invention relates to a nanoparticle film comprising a nanoparticle network formed of nanoparticles interlinked by linker molecules. The linker molecules have at least two linker units that can bind to the surface of the nanoparticles. By introducing selectivity-enhancing units in the linker molecule, the selectivity of the nanoparticle film towards target analytes can be enhanced. A fine-tuning of the selectivity can be achieved by including a fine-tuning unit in the vicinity of the selectivity-enhancing unit. The nanoparticle film can be used to produce chemical sensors which are selective and stable in their performance.
