✦ Synopsis

The synthesis of thioacetate derivatized oligoanilines designed for molecular electronic device purposes is described. Reversible oxidation between the non-conductive leuco base and conductive emeraldine salt forms of these compounds may produce switching effects and device behavior. The targeted compounds contain a sulfur moiety as a means to connect the molecules to metallic electrodes.
