tic species covalently attached to the diamondoid. Hereby, the diamondoid molecule fulfills the role of an electron donor.
It has been discovered that rectification at the molecular level can be achieved by combining a diamondoid molecule with an electron acceptor – most notably an aromatic one. Depending upon the particular combination of diamondoid molecule with electron acceptor, these molecules may act as rectifiers, resistors, p-n junctions, or a combination thereof.
According to the present invention, anything that can serve as an electron acceptor (or electron- withdrawing group) is suitable as “N-type” material. Such materials include, for instance, C60 (fullerene), carbon nanotubes, or conducting polymers. A mole- cular functionalization on the diamondoid itself, such as –NO2, -CN, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), alkenes, etc., is also suitable as “N-type” material. The electron do- nor, i.e. the diamondoid, serves as “P-type” material.

Cyclopentadienylphosphazene Complexes (CpPN Complexes) of Metals of the Third and Fourth Group And of the Lanthanoids
Inventor(s): Prof. Dr. Jörg Sundermeyer, Dr. Konstantin Rufanov, Dr. Alexander Petrov, Michael Elfferding, Manuel Winkenstette
Abstract: The invention at hand provides cyclopentadienyl- phosphazene complexes (CpPN complexes) of the metals of the third and the fourth group and of the lanthanoids with the exception of lutetium for the first time. These complexes may be produced in situ, in which it is not required to make use of the partial- ly unstable alkyl compounds of these metals. Instead, the readily available and stable metal halides are utilised.
