Objective
The feasibility of this project, which aims at the preparation and study of new molecules exhibiting an interplay of conductivity, nonlinear optics and magnetism, was demonstrated by the preparation of the first molecular magnetic superconductor (Kurmoo, JACS, 1995, 117, 12029), by the first observation of a field restored highly conducting state in a molecular system (Goze, Europhys. Lett., 1994, 28, 427) and by the preparation of new MPS3 intercalates exhibiting such properties (Lacroix, Science, 1994, 263, 658).
Research will be developed along three lines: (i) coupling of metal complexes of the 1,2-dithiolate ligands such as dmit with cations exhibiting NLO properties such as DAMS, (ii) coupling of these complexes with magnetic cations such as metalloceniums, (iii) coupling TTF-derived donor molecules with magnetic metal complex anions.
The methods include chemical synthesis and characterization, crystal growth, electrochemical and X-ray diffraction studies, and studies of their transport, magnetic, and NLO properties.
Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact):
The applicant will become acquainted with a new chemistry and a new physics within a research effort in the emerging field of molecular electronics. Development of the collaboration between the host and of-origin laboratories is expected.
Links with industry / industrial relevance:
Industrial relevance of this project relates to molecular electronics. The present project is linked with the COST project D4/001/95.
