The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

In the past three decades, chemistry has changed from focusing on a single molecule to
molecular assemblies. Through the discovery of macrocycles, the chemistry of molecular …

Molecular electronics seeks to incorporate molecular components as functional elements in
electronic devices. There are numerous strategies reported to date for the fabrication …

The drive toward yet further miniatur-ization of silicon-based electronics has led to a revival
of efforts to build devices with molecular-scale components. The field of molecular …

A gold nanodisk array, coated with bistable, redox-controllable [2] rotaxane molecules, when
exposed to chemical oxidants and reductants, undergoes switching of its plasmonic …

In the past ten years a great variety of artificial molecular machines have been constructed,
and very interesting concepts for controlling molecular‐level movements by external inputs …

With the rise of artificial molecular machines, control of motion on the nanoscale has
become a major contemporary research challenge. Tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) are one of the …

In pursuit of a neutral bistable [2] rotaxane made up of two tetraarylmethane stoppers—both
carrying one isopropyl and two tert‐butyl groups located at the para positions on each of …

Appropriately chosen molecules (electron donors or acceptors) could replace doped
inorganic semiconductors to form active electronic components. Ultimately, small electronic …

After the epochal discovery of the “organic metal”, namely, tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)–7, 7, 8, 8-
tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) dyad in 1973, scientists have made efforts to …
