Abstract :
We found before that a stimulation with the probe tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) could initiate a chain polymerization of diacetylene compound. Based on these previous studies, here we report a novel method for single molecular wiring, which we call “chemical soldering.” This method enables us to connect single conjugated polymer chains to single functional molecules, which would be an important step in advancing the development of single-molecule electronic circuitry.
