Here, we report that the molecule-electrode interface of a single-molecule junction can be
regulated by a side chain. Based on this regulation, a single-molecule junction probe …

Tuning the electrode-molecule interface stands at the heart of functional single-molecule
devices. Herein, we report that the electrode-molecule interface of difluoro-substituted …

The chemical identity of anchoring groups has a great impact on the charge transport in
single-molecule junctions. In this paper, a new π-conjugated anchoring group, thiazole, with …

We present an electronic characterization of a single molecular junction of 2, 4, 6-tris (2′, 2
″, 2‴-pyridyl)-1, 3, 5-triazine (TPTZ) with multiple metal–molecule binding sites using …

Using the break-junction technique, we show that “Au (RS) 2” units play a significant role in
thiol-terminated molecular junctions formed on gold. We have studied a range of thiol …

The formation process and atomic structures were investigated for single pyrazine molecular
junctions sandwiched by three different Au, Ag, and Cu electrodes using a mechanically …

The anchor group of a molecule determines its binding characteristics with electrodes. It
impacts the molecular conductance of the formed single molecule junctions and is of great …

Electron transport through a single molecule is a central theme in molecular electronics. The
ability to measure the conductance of a single molecule not only offers a new way to …

Understanding the transport characteristics of single molecules bonded between metal
electrodes is of fundamental importance for molecular scale electronics. By performing first …

Single molecule conductance measurements typically rely on functional linker groups to
anchor the molecule to the conductive electrodes through a donor–acceptor or covalent …
