Abstract

Electron transport through molecules has received great attention since organic structures have been considered as the active elements in electronic nanoscale devices.[1–5] In various experimental setups it is possible to integrate single molecules in electronic circuits and to measure their conductance. Examples include mechanically controlled break junctions (MCBJ)[6, 7] and break junctions based on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM ...
