Show affiliationsA nanowire array of metal–organic complex copper–tetracyanoquinodimethane (CuTCNQ) was obtained by depositing a layer of copper in the bottom of anodic alumina template channels during a vapor-induced reaction method. SEM observation showed that the channel diameters of anodic alumina membranes prepared under 40 V and 200 V are about 60 nm and 200 nm, respectively, and CuTCNQ nanowire arrays were synthesized in these channels. Nanodevice prototypes with electrical switching characteristics based on a CuTCNQ nanowire array were fabricated, whose reproducible electrical switching and memory effects were observed. The on–off ratio for switching reaches 104. The potential applications in information storage devices are also discussed.
