Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A polysilane monomolecular film comprising a polysilane having a repeating unit represented by general formula (1) given below: where, R¹ represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 24 carbon atoms; R² represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms which can be substituted; and x represents hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, or a hydrophilic group having at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, amide linkage, ester linkage, carbamate linkage and carbonate linkage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
The polysilane monomolecular film according to claim 1, characterized in that said monomolecular film is an LB monomolecular film formed by a process comprising the steps of dissolving the polysilane having the repeating unit (1) in an organic solvent, dripping the resultant solution onto a liquid material so as to permit the solution to be spread on the surface of the liquid material and, thus, to form a monomolecular film, and transferring said monomolecular film onto a predetermined substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
76 words
The polysilane monomolecular film accordlng to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that x included in the repeating unit (1) is hydroxyl group or a hydrophilic group having hydroxy group, and said polysilane is synthesized by a process comprising the steps of carrying out a polycondensation reaction between a dichlorosilane derivative having a hydroxyl group protected by a silyl group and metallic sodium within an organic solvent, and removing the protective group by means of hydrolysis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
114 words
A polysilane built-up film formed by building up a plurality of polysilane monomolecula± films, each of said monomolecular fiLm3 comprising a polysilane having a repeating unit ±epresented by general formula (1) given below: where, R¹ represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 24 carbon atoms; R² represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms which can be substituted; and X represents hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, or a hydrophilic group having at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, amide linkage, ester linkage,carbamate linkage and carbonate linkage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
The polysilane built-up film according to claim 4, characterized in that said built-up film is an LB built-up film formed by a process comprising the steps of disso1viD4 the polysilane having the repeating unit (1) in an organic solvent, dripping the resultant solution Into a Ilquld material so as to spread the solution on the surface of the liquid material and, thus, to form a monomolecular film, and building up a plurality of said monomoLecular films on a predetermined substrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
The polysilane built-up film according to claim 4 or 5, characterized in that X included in the repeating unit (1) is a hydroxyl group or a hydrophilic group having a hydroxyl group, and said polysilane is synthetized by a process comprising the steps of carrying out a polycondensation reaction between a dichlorosilane derivative having a hydroxyl group protected by a silyl group and metallic sodium within an organic solvent, and ±emovlng the protective group by means of hydrolysis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
151 words
An organic thin film element comp±ising a monomolecular film or built-up film of a polysilane having a repeating unit represented by general formula (1) given below and an organic thin film containing an organic molecule capable of performing an electronic mutual function together with the Si-Si backbone of said polysilane, said polysilane film and organic film being laminated one upon the other in arbitrary order on a predetermined substrate: where, R¹ represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 24 carbon atoms; R² represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms which can be substituted; and X represente hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, or a hydrophilic group having at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl linkage, amide linkage, ester linkage, carbamate linkage and carbonate linkage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim

The organic thin film element according to claim 7, characterized in that said monomolecuar film or built-up film of the polysilane is an LB monomolecular film or an LB built-up film formed by a process comprising the steps of dissolving the polysiLane having the repeating unit (1) in an organic solvent, dripping the resultant solution onto a liquid material so as to spread the solution on the surface of the liquid material and, thus, to form a monolecular film, and transferring said monomolecular film or building up a plurality of said monomolecular films onto said substrate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
77 words
The organic thin film element according to claim 7 or 8, characterized in that X included in the repeating unit (1) is hydroxyl group or a hydrophilic group having hydroxyl group, and said polysilane is synthesized by a process comprising the steps of carrying out a polycondensation reaction between a dichlorosilane derivative having a hydroxyl group protected by a silyl group and metallic sodium within an organic solvent, and ±emoving the p±otective g±oup by means of hydrolysis.
