Abstract

Conclusions The spiro bridge that was proposed in this work is rather unique. It is capable of localizing an electron on one side of a molecule by providing a large tunneling barrier. On the other hand the same bridge is flexible toward electron transfer in electric fields, above threshold. Another important feature of the molecules studied is the exchange of the conductivity properties of the terminal groups. This interchange leads to possible device ...
