Creating functional electrical circuits using individual or ensemble molecules, often termed
as “molecular-scale electronics”, not only meets the increasing technical demands of the …

Electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by
several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration …

This tutorial outlines the basic theoretical concepts and tools which underpin the
fundamentals of phase-coherent electron transport through single molecules. The key …

This review provides a discussion of the current state of research on linear carbon structures
and related materials based on sp-hybridization of carbon atoms (polyynes and cumulenes) …

Linear, sp-hybridised, 1-dimensional (1D) all-carbon wires are conceptually the simplest π-
conjugated organic molecules. Their fundamental experimental and theoretical properties …

Employing a scanning tunneling microscopy based beak junction technique and
mechanically controlled break junction experiments, we investigated tolane …

Graphene nanoribbons could potentially be used to create molecular wires with tailored
conductance properties. However, understanding charge transport through a single …

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 …

Conjugated poly-ynes and poly (metalla-ynes) constitute an important class of new materials
with potential application in various domains of science. The key factors responsible for the …

Short chains of porphyrin molecules can mediate electron transport over distances as long
as 5–10 nm with low attenuation. This means that porphyrin-based molecular wires could be …
