Abstract

Insulated conductive molecules, in which the π-conjugated compounds are covered by a cyclic protective sheath, have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applicability in next-generation molecular electronic devices. New methods of synthesizing three-dimensionally insulated π-conjugated molecules through the polymerization of insulated π-conjugated molecules as monomers are summarized. The obtained insulated molecular wires are highly soluble in organic solvents and have a high coverage ratio, rigidity, and photoluminescence efficiency; further, they show high charge mobility, even in the solid state. This chapter also highlights a new type of molecular wiring method based on the polymerization or copolymerization of an insulated π-conjugated monomer between nanosized electrodes.
