Abstract
Molecular dipolar rotors comprising a base, an axle connected to said base and oriented substantially perpendicular to said base, and a rotor portion having an electric dipole moment are provided. The molecular dipolar rotors may be attached to a surface. Arrays of molecular dipolar rotors attached to surfaces are provided. Molecular dipolar rotors are useful in preparation of small devices.
Claims25
A molecular dipolar rotor comprising:
- a base;
- an axle connected to said base and oriented substantially perpendicular to said base;
- a rotor portion having an electric dipole moment.
The molecular dipolar rotor as shown below:
- 13
- wherein the chlorine atoms attached to silicon act as leaving groups upon reaction with a surface.
The molecular dipolar rotor as shown below:
- 14
- wherein the chlorine atoms attached to silicon act as leaving groups upon reaction with a surface.
The molecular dipolar rotor as shown below:
- 15
- wherein the chlorine atoms attached to silicon act as leaving groups upon reaction with a surface.
The molecular dipolar rotor as shown below:
- 16
- where M is a transition metal, Z is —Hg—S—Z′, where Z′ is —(CH2)n Si(OR)3 where n is an integer from 0 to 15 and R is an alkyl group or optionally substituted alkyl group, Y is a polar or charged group, and X is a polar or charged group, wherein —OR acts as a leaving group upon reaction with a surface.
