Article Abstract

Ureido pyrimidinedione derivatives with phenyl, 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl substituents form stable dimers via quadruple hydrogen bonding, but the 1-naphthyl derivative presents an unexpected tautomer in the solid state.

A series of self-complementary ureido pyrimidinedione (UPy) derivatives modified with different aurophilic anchoring groups were synthesized. Their electron transport properties through the quadruple hydrogen bonds in apolar solvent were probed employing the scanning tunneling microscopy break junction (STMBJ) technique. The molecule terminated with a thiol shows the optimal electron transport properties, with a statistical conductance value that approaches 10(-3)  G0 .

Quadruple hydrogen-bonding interactions stabilized the mixed-valence states of dimers of triarylamine derivatives bearing an ureido pyrimidinedione moiety without any electronic coupling. This study represents the first example of proton-coupled "organic" mixed valency in solution with different substituents being used to control the stability.
