  • metal single molecule semiconductor junctions formed by a Radical Reaction bridging gold and silicon electrodes
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2019
    Co-Authors: Chandramalika R Peiris, Yan B Vogel, Anton Le P Brun, Albert C Aragones, Ismael Diezperez, Michelle L. Coote, Simone Ciampi, Nadim Darwish
    Abstract:

    Here we report molecular films terminated with diazonium salts moieties at both ends which enables single-molecule contacts between gold and silicon electrodes at open circuit via a Radical Reaction. We show that the kinetics of film grafting is crystal-facet dependent, being more favorable on ⟨111⟩ than on ⟨100⟩, a finding that adds control over surface chemistry during the device fabrication. The impact of this spontaneous chemistry in single-molecule electronics is demonstrated using STM-break junction approaches by forming metal–single-molecule–semiconductor junctions between silicon and gold source and drain, electrodes. Au–C and Si–C molecule–electrode contacts result in single-molecule wires that are mechanically stable, with an average lifetime at room temperature of 1.1 s, which is 30–400% higher than that reported for conventional molecular junctions formed between gold electrodes using thiol and amine contact groups. The high stability enabled measuring current–voltage properties during the lif...

  • estimation of hydroxyl Radical Reaction rate constants for gas phase organic compounds using a structure reactivity relationship an update
    Atmospheric Environment, 1995
    Co-Authors: Eric S C Kwok, Roger Atkinson
    Abstract:

    Abstract The structure-reactivity approach proposed by Atkinson (1986, Chem. Rev. 86 , 69-201) and extended by Atkinson (1987, Int. J. Chem. Kinet. 19 , 799-828) for the calculation of rate constants for the gas-phase Reactions of the OH Radical with organic compounds has been re-investigated using the presently available database. Substituent group factors for several new groups are derived, including those for fluorinated eithers. Using a large fraction of the available database to derive the parameters needed to calculate the OH Radical Reaction rate constants, the 298 K rate constants of ∼90% of approximately 485 organic compounds are predicted to within a factor of 2 of the experimental values. Disagreements between calculated and experimental rate constants most commonly occur for halogen-containing compounds, and in particular for haloalkanes, haloalkenes and halogenated ethers. Disagreements also arise for ethers, especially for polyethers and cycloethers. The present estimation technique is reasonably reliable when used within the database used in its derivation, but extrapolation to organic compounds outside of this database results in a lack of assurance of its reliability, and its use for organic compounds which belong to classes other than those used in its development is discouraged.

  • product formation from the gas phase Reactions of oh Radicals and o3 with a series of monoterpenes
    Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry, 1994
    Co-Authors: Hannele Hakola, Janet Arey, Sara M Aschmann, Roger Atkinson
    Abstract:

    The formation yields of nine carbonyl products are reported from the gas-phase OH Radical-initiated Reactions (in the presence of NO x ) and the O3 Reactions with seven monoterpenes. The products were identified using GC/MS and GC-FTIR and quantified by GC-FID analyses of samples collected on Tenax solid adsorbent cartridges. The identities of products from camphene, limonene and β-pinene were confirmed by comparison with authentic standards. Sufficient quantities of products from the 3-carene, limonene, α-pinene, sabinene and terpinolene Reactions were isolated to allow structural confirmation by proton NMR spectroscopy. The measured total carbonyl formation yields ranged from non-detectable for the OH Radical Reaction with camphene and the O3 Reactions with 3-carene and limonene to ∼0.5 for the OH Radical Reaction with limonene and the O3 Reaction with sabinene.
