MCW07 Exploring Trends in Conductance for Well-Defined Single Molecule Circuits
Update: 2009-04-05
Description
In our recent research, we have been able to measure and characterize the impact of intrinsic molecular properties on the conductance of single molecule circuits formed with amine-gold linkages. In this talk, I will review the experiments and the physical picture of the junction based on the calculations. I will then focus on three recent studies: (i) the impact of substituents on the conductance through diaminobenzene; (ii) the trends in conductance through diaminonaphthalene and diaminoanthracene as a function of the location of the amine link groups [4]; and (iii) comparison of junctions formed with amine links to those formed with methylthiol and dimethylphosphine links.
