Process for production of molecular devices

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of effectively producing a nano-particle and a nano-wire, and others. Specifically, the present invention provides a method of producing a molecular device including: the use of a molecular structure having a higher atomic density in the periphery than in the interior and bonding residues in the periphery; and a step of crosslinking the bonding residues, and the method of producing a molecular device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the molecular structure is constituted by a skeleton portion having a skeleton structure, and a terminal portion which is arranged in the outer shell of the skeleton portion, has a higher atomic density than that of the skeleton portion and has bonding residues; and that in the step of crosslinking the bonding residues, the bonding residues in the terminal portion of the molecular structure are crosslinked to form the molecular structure into a shell structure, and others.

1 . A molecular structure having a shell structure obtained by: using a molecular structure constituted by a skeleton portion having a skeleton structure, and a terminal portion which is arranged in the outer shell of the skeleton portion, has a higher atomic density than that of the skeleton portion and has a plurality of bonding residues, and a photosensitizer included inside the molecular structure; 
 and joining the bonding residues in the terminal portion by taking advantage of the spectral sensitization of the photosensitizer molecules irradiated with light.    
     
     
         2 . A molecular device including the molecular structure having the shell structure according to  claim 1.
