Abstract

The electrical properties of supermolecular assemblies of oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) were studied. These materials self-assemble into well-defined cylindrical structures in solution with lengths in the range of 100nm–10μm and diameters between 5 and 200nm. Atomic force microscopy showed that by adjusting the concentration, either individual molecular wires or a dense film could be deposited. The molecular wires showed poor electrical conduction. Several tests were performed that show that it was the molecular wires themselves, not the contacts, that limit the conductivity.
