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

The measurement of the electrical properties of molecules, down to the single molecule
level, has become an experimental reality in recent years. A number of methods are now …

We have designed and synthesized a molecular rod that consists of two weakly coupled
electronic π-systems with mutually shifted energy levels. The asymmetry thus implied …

A series of thioacetate-terminated butadiyne-linked porphyrin oligomers have been
synthesized with one to three porphyrin repeat units. Single molecule electrical scanning …

Reviewed herein are key aspects of the recent progress in the chemistry of σ-alkynyl
compounds of Ru2 (LL) 4, where LL is an N, N '-bidentate bridging ligand. Synthetic …

The most probable single-molecule conductance of each member of a series of 12
conjugated molecular wires, 6 of which contain either a ruthenium or platinum center …

In this Perspective, we highlight the non-innocent behaviour of the bridging ligand in
organometallic polynuclear metallic complexes displaying metal-carbon σ bonds between …

Introducing organic molecules in electronics, in general, and as active electronic transport
components, in particular, is to no small degree limited by the ability to connect them …

Polyyn-diyls capped by Ru2 (ap) 4 termini (ap= 2-anilinopyridinate), that is,[Ru2 (ap) 4](μ-C,
C '-C2 m)[Ru2 (ap) 4](compounds 1− 5 with m= 1− 4 and 6), were synthesized through either …

The function of organic semiconducting and light-harvesting materials depends on the
organization of the individual molecular components. Our group has tackled the problem of …
