Using individual molecules as conducting bridges for electrons offers opportunities when
investigating quantum phenomena that are not readily accessible from experiments …

Porphyrins and other tetrapyrrole macrocycles possess an impressive variety of functional
properties that have been exploited in natural and artificial systems. Different metal centres …

Quantum resource theories (QRTs) offer a highly versatile and powerful framework for
studying different phenomena in quantum physics. From quantum entanglement to quantum …

Tautomerization, the interconversion between two constitutional molecular isomers, is
ubiquitous in nature, plays a major role in chemistry and is perceived as an ideal switch …

Although the local environment of a molecule can play an important role in its chemistry,
rarely has it been examined experimentally at the level of individual molecules. Here we …

Artificial molecular motors are designed to transform external energy into useful work in the
form of unidirectional motion. They have been studied mainly in solution,–, but also on solid …

Tautomerization in porphycenes, constitutional isomers of porphyrins, is strongly entangled
with spectral and photophysical parameters. The intramolecular double hydrogen transfer …

Heat transfer, electrical potential and light energy are common ways to activate chemical
reactions. Applied force is another way, but dedicated studies for such a mechanical …

The hydrogen bond represents a fundamental interaction widely existing in nature, which
plays a key role in chemical, physical and biochemical processes. However, hydrogen bond …

Single-molecule junctions (SMJs) offer a novel strategy for miniaturization of electronic
devices. In this work, we realize a graphene-porphyrin-graphene SMJ driven by electric field …
