The “Quo Vadis?” meeting in Bremen (March 2013) was a spectacular opportunity for
people involved in molecular electronics to catch up on the latest, to think back, and to …

Electron transfer through molecules is an ubiquitous process underlying the function of
biological systems and synthetic devices. The electronic coupling between components …

Quantum interference (QI) of electron pathways has recently attracted increased interest as
an enabling tool for single-molecule electronic devices. Although various molecular systems …

This paper compares the current density (J) versus applied bias (V) of self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs) of three different ethynylthiophenol-functionalized anthracene …

The interaction of light with molecular conduction junctions is attracting growing interest as a
challenging experimental and theoretical problem on one hand, and because of its potential …

Photoinitiated charge separation (CS) and recombination (CR) in a series of donor− bridge−
acceptor (D− B− A) molecules with cross-conjugated, linearly conjugated, and saturated …

We investigate transport through mechanically triggered single-molecule switches that are
based on the coordination sphere-dependent spin state of FeII-species. In these molecules …

The mechanism for off-resonant electron transport through small organic molecules in
metallic junctions is predominantly coherent tunneling. Thus, new device functionalities …

Using first-principles calculations we analyze the electronic transport properties of a recently
proposed anthraquinone-based electrochemical switch. Robust conductance on/off ratios of …

For transmission of electrons through a π system, when the Landauer theory of molecular
conductance is viewed from a molecular orbital (MO) perspective, there obtains a simple …
