One-Dimensional Organometallic Molecular Wires via Assembly of Rh(CO)_2Cl(amine): Chemical Control of Interchain Distances and Optical Properties

摘要

One-dimensional solid materials are one of the most attractive subjects in materials science because of their suitability for processing in practical applications and the relatively facile access to theoretical models. For example, carbon-based materials such as carbon nano-tubes and organic conducting polymers have had a great impact on materials science. One-dimensional materials can be formed via electrical interactions between the molecular building blocks. For example, it has been reported that the self-assembly of transition-metal complexes via metal-metal interactions can generate unprecedented one-dimensional materials, as in the formation of one-dimensional molecular chains via assembly of [Pt(CN)_4]~(2-4b).
