    High Rectification Ratio at Room Temperature in Rhenium(I) Compound

    Full text link
    Electrical current rectification is an interesting electronic feature, popularly known as a diode. Achieving a high rectification ratio in a molecular junction has been a long-standing goal in molecular electronics. The present work describes mimicking electrical current rectification with pi-stacked rhenium(I) compound sandwiched between two electrical contacts. Among the two mononuclear rhenium compounds studied here, [Re(CO)4(PPh3){(N)-saccharinate}] (1) and [Re(CO)3(phen){(N)-saccharinate}] (2), the latter show strong pi-pi interactions-induced high rectification ratio of ~ 4000 at 2.0 V at room temperature. Alternating current (AC)-based electrical measurements ensuring AC to DC electrical signal conversion at a frequency f of 1 KHz showing 2 can act as an excellent half-wave rectifier. Asymmetric charge injection barrier height at the electrode/Re(I) interfaces of the devices with a stacking configuration of p++-Si/Re compound31nm(2)/ITO originates the flow of electrical current unidirectionally. The charge transport mechanism governed by thermally activated hopping phenomena, and charge carrier propagation is explained through an energy profile considering the Fermi levels of two electrodes, and the energy of frontier molecular orbitals, HOMO, and LUMO, confirming rectification is of a molecular origin. The present work paves the way to combine different organometallic compounds as circuit elements in nanoelectronic devices to achieve numerous exciting electronic features.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure

    1104-1108Treatment of electron-deficient Os3(CO)8{μ3-Ph2PCH(CH3)-P(Ph)C6H4}(μ-H) (1) with HCl at room temperature furnishes the adduct Os3(CO)8{μ-Ph2PCH(CH3)PPh2}(μ-Cl)(μ-H) (2) in almost quantitative yield via oxidative addition of H‒Cl bond. Cluster (2) is electron-precise and contains bridging chloride and hydride ligands which rearranges upon heating at 110 °C to form isomeric (3). Both clusters have been characterized by a combination of elemental analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopic data together with single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. </span

    Synthesis and characterization of tungsten carbonyl complexes containing thioamides

    274-280Tungsten pentacarbonyl complexes are isolated from the reactions between [W(CO)5(NCMe)] and thioamides, the former being generated in situ upon addition of  equimolar amount of Me3NO into an acetonitrile solution of W(CO)6. Room temperature reactions between [W(CO)5(NCMe)] and acyclic thioamides such as thioacetamide and benzamide afford [W(CO)5{к1-(S)-RCSNH2}] in which the thioamides are coordinated to tungsten through sulfur. Similar S-coordinated complexes, namely, [W(CO)5{к1-(S)-thiolactam}] are also isolated from the reactions with cyclic thioamides or thiolactams under the same reaction conditions. All the new complexes have been adequately characterized by spectroscopic data together with single crystal X-ray diffraction studies for four complexes
