The modification of electrode surfaces by depositing self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs)
provides the possibility for controlled adjustment of various key parameters in organic and …

This article reviews recent progress in the characterization of self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) with a chalcogen headgroup by synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray …

The tunneling resistance and electronic structure of metal–molecule–metal junctions based
on oligoacene (benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene) thiol and dithiol …

The conductance of a family of biphenyl-dithiol derivatives with conformationally fixed
torsion angle was measured using the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)-break-junction …

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 …

Using a representative model system, here electronic and structural properties of aromatic
self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are described that contain an embedded, dipolar group …

This Article reports a systematic study on the formation of self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) of conjugated molecules for molecular electronic (ME) devices. We monitored the …

We study theoretically the length dependence of both conductance and thermopower in
metal-molecule-metal junctions made up of dithiolated oligophenylenes contacted to gold …

This study describes the modulation of tunneling probabilities in molecular junctions by
switching one of two parallel intramolecular pathways. A linearly conjugated molecular wire …

Using a nitrile tailgroup as a spectroscopic marker, both twist and tilt of the aromatic
backbones in several typical aromatic SAMs on Au (111) have been directly determined in a …
