We review the fascinating research on charge transport through switchable molecules. In the
past decade, detailed investigations have been performed on a great variety of molecular …

The safe preparation and characterization (XRD, NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, DSC,
mass spectrometry, sensitivities) of a new explosive dihydroxylammonium 5, 5 …

Phenylene oligomers represent a borderline case between very strongly π-conjugated
molecular wires such as oligo-p-phenylene vinylenes and saturated molecular bridges …

Employing a scanning tunneling microscopy based beak junction technique and
mechanically controlled break junction experiments, we investigated tolane …

The charge transport characteristics of 11 tailor-made dithiol-terminated oligo (phenylene-
ethynylene)(OPE)-type molecules attached to two gold electrodes were studied at a …

If individual molecules are to be used as building blocks for electronic devices, it will be
essential to understand charge transport at the level of single molecules. Most existing …

Here, we report on a new single‐molecule‐switching concept based on the coordination‐
sphere‐dependent spin state of FeII species. The perpendicular arrangement of two …

Inspired by the complex molecular machines found in nature, chemists have developed
much simpler molecular motors.[1–3] Among them, several systems incorporating …

From its very start, one of the most intriguing motivations of molecular electronics is to
provide unique and low-cost solutions for electronic functions based on molecules, such as …

We report the electrical conductance at the single molecule level of the oligoyne molecular
wires Py-(C C) n-Py (n= 1, 2 and 4; Py= 4-pyridyl) using STM-molecular break junction …
