Toward imitating the natural smartness and responsivity of biological systems, surface
interfacial properties are considered to be responsive and tunable if they show a reactive …

When tunneling is the dominant mechanism of charge transport in a molecular junction, the
conductivity of the junction is largely insensitive to chemical and structural perturbations …

2, 2′-Dihydroxyazobenzene (DAB), 2, 2′-azotoluene (AT) and azobenzene (AB) were
isolated in argon and xenon matrices and their molecular structures and photochemical …

We show that homogeneously mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of
mercaptoalkanoic acids of different chain lengths can be used to build up a pH-sensitive …

A modified superexchange model is used to clarify the physical mechanisms for the
formation of nonresonant tunneling conductance in terminated molecular wires. Due to the …

A series of mono-, di-, and poly (platina-ynes) incorporating stilbene spacer units with the
formulae trans-[R–CC–Pt (PBu3) 2-CC–R](R=(E)-1, 2-diphenylethene), trans-[(Ph)-(Et3P) …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in stimuli-responsive host–guest
materials due to the high potential for their application in switchable devices. Light is the …

Mixed molecular self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold, based on two types of
electroactive molecules, that is, electron‐donor (ferrocene) and electron‐acceptor …

Taking self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4, 4′-terphenylyl-substituted
ethanethioacetate (TP2-SAc) on Au (111) as a test system, we studied the effect of the …

Switchable trans–cis isomerization of azobenzene (AB) and its derivatives on metallic
surfaces have offered rich possibilities to functionalize molecular devices. However, the lack …
