Linear, sp-hybridised, 1-dimensional (1D) all-carbon wires are conceptually the simplest π-
conjugated organic molecules. Their fundamental experimental and theoretical properties …

Single-molecule recognition and detection with the highest resolution measurement has
been one of the ultimate goals in science and engineering. Break junction techniques …

Relationships between chemical structure and conductivity in ordered polymers (OPs) are
difficult to probe using bulk samples. We propose that conductance measurements of …

As a central research target in molecular electronics, molecular switches have been
extensively explored over the past decades. We theoretically demonstrate that when linking …

Applications of highly electron-deficient organoborenium ions in conjugated materials
remain scarce due to their low stability toward air and moisture. We report here the …

Single-molecule junctions (SMJs) have been fabricated using layers generated by
diazonium electroreduction. This process creates a C–Au covalent bond between the …

Stable organic radicals, which possess half-filled orbitals in the vicinity of the Fermi energy,
are promising candidates for electronic devices. In this Letter, using a combination of …

The single‐molecule conductance of a series of BN‐acene‐like derivatives has been
measured by using scanning tunneling break‐junction techniques. A strategic design of the …

Main group molecular electronics is an emerging area that investigates quantum transport
through main group backbones within molecular junctions. It merges two rapidly advancing …

Improved understanding of charge-transport in single molecules is essential for harnessing
the potential of molecules, eg, as circuit components at the ultimate size limit. However …
