We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the length dependence
and anchor group dependence of the electrical conductance of a series of oligoyne …

One-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon wires, including cumulenes and polyynes, can be
regarded as finite versions of carbynes. They are likely to be good candidates for molecular …

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 …

We present ab initio calculations for spin-dependent electron transport in a molecular device
constructed by two carbon chains capped with a phenyl ring, which is sandwiched between …

Cumulenes are sometimes described as “metallic” because an infinitely long cumulene
would have the band structure of a metal. Herein, we report the single‐molecule …

The conductance and the decay of conductance as a function of molecular length within a
homologous series of oligoynes, Me3Si(C C) n SiMe3 (n= 2, 3, 4, or 5), is shown to …

In this work, we have fabricated a transparent Ce-based device with aluminum-zinc oxide
(AZO) as semiconducting electrode by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering on a transparent …

We have designed and synthesized a pyridine-based tripodal anchor unit to construct a
single-molecule junction with a gold electrode. The advantage of tripodal anchoring to a …

Single-molecule conductance of three sulphur-functionalized organometallic wires with two
ruthenium (II) centres spaced by 1, 3-butadiyne was firstly investigated using an …

The donor–acceptor molecule is the only molecule that features a real intrinsic rectification.
However, all investigations in the last decades showed that rectification behaviors of such …
