Spectral, thermal and electronic properties of a new class of hydrocarbon-based materials diamondoid oligomers was investigated. The methods for the selective functionalization of lower and higher diamondoids were developed. Methods of association lower diamondoids in lower oligomers have been developed. X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric spectra of lower diamondoid oligomers were made. We propose a model that adequately accounts the effects of dispersion interactions in diamondoid oligomers for their physicochemical characteristics.

With the help of computer simulation has been optimized geometry, calculated the dependence of electronic properties on the size of diamondoidі, having one or two different substituents in the molecule (external doping), the replacement of carbon atoms in certain positions diamondoids (internal doping) one or two heteroatoms.
