Abstract

Abstract This article describes the molecular structure–function relationship for a series of biphenylthiol derivatives with varying torsional degree of freedom in their molecular backbone when self-assembled on gold electrodes. These biphenylthiol molecules chemisorbed on Au exhibit different tilt angles with respect to the surface normal and different packing densities. The charge transport through the biphenylthiol self-assembled ...
