Organometallic Reagents
Novel metal/metalloid-carbon bond forming reactions have the potential for broad utility in fields ranging from catalysis to nanoelectronics. The term "nanoelectronics" is a commonly-used term, but it can apply to several different types of materials. Broadly speaking, molecular/polymeric field effect transistors (FETs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and quantum dots can all be included in electronic devices fathomable on the nanoscale regime. A survey of the relevant chemical and physics literature reveals that there is still considerable progress to be made before these materials can be considered both functionally and economically optimized. Creative Chemistry believes that many improvements to current, state-of-the-art nanoelectronic materials or catalytic reagents can be made with relatively simple and pragmatic chemical strategies.
