Iodination of protected bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene, deprotection of the resulting diiodo aromatics, and subsequent transformation of the hydroxymethyl groups to benzyl halides provides an easy and reliable way to the pure title compounds. Georg Thieme Verl
Novel cruciform structures as model compounds for coordination induced single molecule switches

We have synthesized various molecular cruciforms consisting of two different crossing π-systems and comprising crosswise arranged thiol- and pyridine-anchor groups. With these model compounds we strive towards the investigation of a new switching concept based on the potential dependent coordination of pyridines to gold electrodes in an electrochemical set-up. Integration of these cruciform molecules between both electrodes of a mechanically controlled break junction in a liquid environment gave insight into their single molecule transport properties. These studies allowed individual transport characteristics to be assigned to the bar subunits of the cruciforms but also revealed the remaining experimental challenges to realize the suggested switching concept.

(Figure Presented) All line up together! A new concept for the alignment and assembly of conjugated polymers through the action of supramolecular bundling ("aligner") molecules is inspired by actin-filament bundling proteins. The approach provides a gener
