Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Here, six phenanthrene (the smallest arm-chair graphene nanoribbon) derivatives with
dithiomethyl substitutions at different positions as the anchoring groups were synthesized …

Efficient long-range charge transport within molecular wires, which hinges upon ultralow
length-dependent conductance attenuation, is essential for molecular electronics and …

The real atomic scale details of molecular junctions would be of much complexity and can
yield a plethora of “counterintuitive” results. Here, we provide an overview of four …

The flow of charge through molecules is central to the function of supramolecular machines,
and charge transport in nucleic acids is implicated in molecular signaling and DNA repair …

In a classical electronic resistor, conductance decays as the device length increases
according to Ohm's Law. While most molecular series display a comparable exponential …

A previous combined experimental and theoretical study found that the position of anchoring
groups on a phenanthrene (PHE) backbone played a large role in determining the single …

The recent accomplishment in the design of molecular nanowires characterized by
increasing conductance with length has led to the origin of an extraordinary new family of …

The bridge is a crucial component of the donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) architecture when
studying electron transport properties and molecular electronics. In this work, we explore the …

Substituent effects (SEs) are fundamental for predicting molecular reactivity, while polyene,
polyyne and acene derivatives are precursors to compounds with diverse applications …
