Conductive gold nanoparticle assembly linked through interactions between the radical cations of ethylene- and propylene-3,4-dioxythiophene mixed tetramer thiolate

Abstract

A conjugated mixed tetramer consisting of ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT (E)) and propyrenedioxythiophene (ProDOT (P)) dimers (E2P2) with methylthio end-capping group at the EDOT side was directly introduced via a thiolate linker...
