Abstract:We present the concept of electrostatic field driven supramolecular translation within electrically connected plasmonic nano-antennas. The antenna serves as anchoring point for the mechanically interlocked molecules, as electrode for the electrostatic field, and as amplifier of the antenna-enhanced fluorescence. The synthesis of a push-pull donor-π-acceptor chromophore with optical properties aligned to the antenna resonance is described and its immobilization on the surface demonstrated.

Stacked organic optoelectronic devices make use of electrode materials with different work functions, leading to efficient large area light emission. In contrast, lateral electrode arrangements offer the possibility to be...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
