Efficient ternary WORM memory devices from quinoline-based D-A systems by varying the redox behavior of ferrocene.

ABSTRACT: The design and synthesis of ferrocene-functionalized organic small molecules using quinoline cores are rendered to achieve a ternary write-once-read-many (WORM) memory device. Introducing an electron-withdrawing group into the ferrocene system changes the compounds' photophysical, electrochemical, and memory behavior. The compounds were synthesized with and without an acetylene bridge between the ferrocene unit and quinoline. The electrochemical studies proved the oxidation behavior with a slightly less intense reduction peak of the ferrocene unit, demonstrating that quinolines have more reducing properties than ferrocene with bandgaps ranging from 2.67-2.75 eV. The single crystal analysis of the compounds also revealed good interactive interactions, ensuring good molecular packing. This f
