Synthesis of novel bis- and tris- tetrathiafulvalene amphiphiles for use in Langmuir-Blodgett film deposition

Synthesis of novel bis- and tris- tetrathiafulvalene amphiphiles for use in Langmuir-Blodgett film deposition

This thesis describes the synthesis and LB film-forming and conducting properties of bis and tris-TTF amphiphiles in an effort to create systems with enhanced LB film-forming properties.

First generation bis and tris-TTF amphiphiles, such as 112 and 109, were prepared by coupling together mono-TTF derivatives through amide bonds. These novel bis- and tris-TTF amphiphiles showed improved stability in monolayer formation on a water surface, as compared to the mono-TTF derivatives, and were deposited to give LB films. The conductivities of the first generation molecules derived LB films, however, were low (σrt�10-7-10-9 S/cm).

In order to improve the poor conductivity a second generation of bis- and tris-TTF amphiphiles, such as 138 and 143, were synthesised by coupling together mono-TTF derivatives with a 1,3-diaminopropyl spacer. The fabricated LB films of the non-amphiphilic bis-TTF 138 showed an intrinsic conducting behaviour of σrt=10-3 S/cm which increased by the order of a magnitude after doping with iodine. (Fig.4303)

Abstract

This thesis describes the synthesis and LB film-forming and conducting properties of bis and tris-TTF amphiphiles in an effort to create systems with enhanced LB film-forming properties.

First generation bis and tris-TTF amphiphiles, such as 112 and 109, were prepared by coupling together mono-TTF derivatives through amide bonds. These novel bis- and tris-TTF amphiphiles showed improved stability in monolayer formation on a water surface, as compared to the mono-TTF derivatives, and were deposited to give LB films. The conductivities of the first generation molecules derived LB films, however, were low (σrt�10-7-10-9 S/cm).

In order to improve the poor conductivity a second generation of bis- and tris-TTF amphiphiles, such as 138 and 143, were synthesised by coupling together mono-TTF derivatives with a 1,3-diaminopropyl spacer. The fabricated LB films of the non-amphiphilic bis-TTF 138 showed an intrinsic conducting behaviour of σrt=10-3 S/cm which increased by the order of a magnitude after doping with iodine. (Fig.4303)
