Abstract

One of the lines of research on organic devices is focused on their miniaturization to obtain denser and faster electronic circuits. The challenge is to build devices adding atom by atom or molecule by molecule until the desired structures are achieved. To do this job, techniques able to see and manipulate matter at this scale are needed. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been the selected technique by scientists to develop smart and functional unimolecular devices. This review article compiles the latest developments in this field giving examples of supramolecular systems monitored and fabricated at the molecular scale by bottom-up approaches using STM at the solid/liquid interface.
Keywords: scanning tunneling microscopy; unimolecular electronics; molecular device; monolayer; coordination chemistry; interfaces; nanotechnology scanning tunneling microscopy; unimolecular electronics; molecular device; monolayer; coordination chemistry; interfaces; nanotechnology
