We measure electronic conductance through single conjugated molecules bonded to Au
metal electrodes with direct Au–C covalent bonds using the scanning tunneling microscope …

Aromaticity is a fundamental concept in chemistry. It is described by Hückel’s rule that states
that a cyclic planar π-system is aromatic when it shares 4n+2 π-electrons and antiaromatic …

Charge transport across metal–molecule interfaces has an important role in organic electronics
1 . Typically, chemical link groups such as thiols 2 or amines 3 are used to bind organic …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have
recently emerged as thermally and chemically ultrastable alternatives to those formed from …

We report the simultaneous measurement of conductance and thermopower of highly
conducting single-molecule junctions using a scanning tunneling microscope-based break-…

Understanding the role of intermolecular interaction on through-space charge transfer
characteristics in π-stacked molecular systems is central to the rational design of electronic …

We compare the conductance of a series of amine-terminated oligophenyl and alkane
molecular junctions formed with Ag and Au electrodes using the scanning tunneling microscope …

This study reports the optical, structural, electrical and dielectric properties of Poly (vinyl
alcohol) thin films membranes with embedded ZnO nanoparticles (PVA/ZnO) obtained by the …

Single-molecule junctions are ideal test beds for investigating the fundamentals of charge
transport at the nanoscale. Conducting properties are strongly dependent on the metal–…

We demonstrate enhanced electronic transport through dimer molecular junctions, which
self-assemble between two gold electrodes in π–π stabilized binding configurations. Single …
