The role of symmetry in single-molecule junctions
Abstract
Leading you on: The symmetry of a single-molecule junction has a strong influence on its conductance. A recent study reporting on the conductance characteristics of differently thiol- anchored naphthalenes demonstrates that the frontier molecular orbitals lead to symmetry-forbidden or symmetry- allowed electron paths (see picture).
