The concept of using single molecules as key building blocks for logic gates, diodes and
transistors to perform basic functions of digital electronic devices at the molecular scale has …

Carbon allotropes built from rings of two-coordinate atoms, known as cyclo [n] carbons, have
fascinated chemists for many years, but until now they could not be isolated or structurally …

Triangulene, the smallest triplet-ground-state polybenzenoid (also known as Clar's
hydrocarbon), has been an enigmatic molecule ever since its existence was first …

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is a versatile tool for chemical analysis at the
nanoscale. In earlier TERS experiments, Raman modes with components parallel to the tip …

In molecular tunnel junctions, where the molecule is decoupled from the electrodes by few-
monolayers-thin insulating layers, resonant charge transport takes place by sequential …

Scanning tunnelling microscopy and atomic force microscopy can be used to study the
electronic and structural properties of surfaces, as well as molecules and nanostructures …

Using scanning probe microscopy techniques, at low temperatures and in ultrahigh vacuum,
individual molecules adsorbed on surfaces can be probed with ultrahigh resolution to …

The interplay between the oxidation state and the optical properties of molecules is
important for applications in displays, sensors, and molecular-based memories. The …

The charge state of a molecule governs its physicochemical properties, such as
