Abstract
In various embodiments, synthetic bridge molecules are disclosed, usable in molecular electronics sensors. In various aspects, bridge molecules comprise fused ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structures in the shape of a long and narrow ribbon, with end groups on opposite short ends for selective binding to metal electrodes, one or more substituents near the midpoint of a long edge for binding to a probe molecule, and one or more additional substituent groups for solubility or other effects. In various embodiments, the bridge molecules herein are conducting, and provide a closed circuit in a sensor when forming a bridge between gapped electrodes.
