The immobilization of molecular switches onto inorganic supports has recently become a hot
topic as it can give rise to novel hybrid materials in which the properties of the two …

Thin layers of diarylethene oligomers (oligo (DAE)) were deposited by electrochemical
reduction of a diazonium salt on glassy carbon and gold electrodes. The layers were fully …

This Letter describes an unprecedentedly large and photoreversible localized surface
plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength shift caused by photoisomerization of azobenzenes …

A new azobenzene− thiophene molecular switch is designed, synthesized, and used to form
self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on gold. An “on/off” conductance ratio up to 7× 103 (with …

Chemisorption of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is a universal method to modify
numerous surface properties, which allows interfaces to be optimized for the application of …

Self-assembled conjugated molecular wires containing thiophene up to 6 nm in length were
grown layer-by-layer using click chemistry. Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy …

Photoactive molecular junctions, based on 4 nm thick diarylethene (DAE) and 5 nm thick
bisthienylbenzene (BTB) layers, were fabricated by electrochemical deposition. Total …

We report the formation of self-assembled monolayers of a molecular photoswitch
(azobenzene-bithiophene derivative, AzBT) on cobalt via a thiol covalent bond. We study the …

Responsive monolayers are key building blocks for future applications in organic and
molecular electronics in particular because they hold potential for tuning the physico …

This book, a multi-authored volume comprising reviews written by leading scientists,
discusses recent advances in the molecular electronics field. It emphasizes the need for …
