Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorination and Iodination of Benzene

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Fluorination and Iodination of Benzene

Bromination and chlorination of aromatic rings by electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are easily achieved, but fluorination and iodination are difficult to achieve. Fluorine is so reactive that its reaction with benzene is difficult to control, resulting in poor yields of monofluoroaromatic products. To address this, Selectfluor reagent is used as a fluorine source in which a fluorine atom is bonded to a positively charged nitrogen.

Background:

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are crucial for molecular electronics.
Understanding structure-property relationships in SAMs is key for device performance.

Purpose of the Study:

Synthesize and characterize novel alkylated silane SAMs.
Investigate the electrical rectification behavior of these SAMs.
Correlate molecular structure, including dipole moment and length, with rectification performance.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of nine new alkylated silane SAMs with varying chain lengths and terminal functional groups.
Electrical characterization using a metal/insulator/metal (MIM) configuration.
Utilized highly-doped silicon and eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) liquid metal contacts.

Main Results:

Achieved high device yields (>90%) and excellent bias stress resistance.
Observed current rectification ratios (R) ranging from 20 to 200.
Demonstrated a positive correlation between rectification ratio and molecular dipole moment.
Found that increasing molecular length reduces the rectification ratio.

Conclusions:

Alkylated silane SAMs show promising rectification behavior for molecular electronic applications.
Molecular dipole moment is a critical factor in determining rectification efficiency.
Molecular length plays a significant role, with shorter molecules yielding better rectification.
