Abstract

The formation of nanocrystal-molecule-nanocrystal nanostructures via controlled mixing of Au nanocrystals and bifunctional Re linkers is reported. UV-visible extinction data, coupled with histogram analysis of nanostructures measured using scanning electron microscopy has shown a characteristic optical response at wavelengths close to 600 nm following formation of dimer and trimer nanostructures. Directed assembly processes based on dielectrophoretic trapping have also been developed for electrical interfacing of these nanostructures between top-down nanoelectrode pairs for electrical characterization.
