Although research on molecular electronics has drawn increasingly more attention in the
last decade, the large spread in obtained results for the conduction rescaled to a single …

The measurement of the electrical properties of molecules, down to the single molecule
level, has become an experimental reality in recent years. A number of methods are now …

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

Recent STM molecular break-junction experiments have revealed multiple series of peaks in
the conductance histograms of alkanedithiols. To resolve a current controversy, we present …

Highly conductive molecular junctions were formed by direct binding of benzene molecules
between two Pt electrodes. Measurements of conductance, isotopic shift in inelastic …

We report the electrical conductance at the single molecule level of the oligoyne molecular
wires Py-(C C) n-Py (n= 1, 2 and 4; Py= 4-pyridyl) using STM-molecular break junction …

A series of thioacetate-terminated butadiyne-linked porphyrin oligomers have been
synthesized with one to three porphyrin repeat units. Single molecule electrical scanning …

Extended π-conjugated molecules are interesting materials that have been studied
theoretically and experimentally with applications to conducting nanowire, memory, and …

We determine and compare, at the single molecule level and under identical environmental
conditions, the electrical conductance of four conjugated phenylene oligomers comprising …

The stability and breakdown mechanism of a single molecule covalently bound to two Au
electrodes via Au− S bonds were studied at room temperature. The distance over which a …
