A New Method to Fabricate Single-Molecule Nanoarrays Using Dendrimer-Based Templates

Dendrimer architectures are used as spacing‐templates to fabricate single molecule nanoarrays. It is shown that this new method (see Figure for illustration) fabricates a nanoarray of single thioctic acids separated by a distance related to the dendron size on Au. This approach could be used for ass...

Description
Summary:Dendrimer architectures are used as spacing‐templates to fabricate single molecule nanoarrays. It is shown that this new method (see Figure for illustration) fabricates a nanoarray of single thioctic acids separated by a distance related to the dendron size on Au. This approach could be used for assembling single functional molecules for nanotechnology in areas such as molecular electronics.
