Abstract:π-Conjugated molecules have been utilized to functionalize inorganic surfaces to form organic–inorganic hybrid materials. However, the intrinsically strong π–π interaction results in undesirable aggregations on the inorganic surface, thereby disturbing the charge transfer through the organic–inorganic interface. In this study, a new strategy was developed using insulated π-conjugated molecules bearing a [1]rotaxane structure, where the π-conjugation was covered with covalently linked permethylated α-cyclodextr… Show more
