Quantum interference and heteroaromaticity of para- and meta-linked bridged biphenyl units in single molecular conductance measurements

Abstract Is there a correlation between the (hetero)aromaticity of the core of a molecule and its conductance in a single molecular junction? To address this question, which is of fundamental interest in molecular electronics, oligo(arylene-ethynylene) (OAE) molecular wires have been synthesized wit...
