The mechanism governing the redox-stimulated switching behavior of a tristable [2]rotaxane consisting of a cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT4+) ring encircling a dumbbell, containing tetrathiafu
Alkynyl-substituted phenyldithiafulvenes have been found to act as versatile building blocks for the construction of π-conjugated molecular rods, shape-persistent macrocycles (SPMs), and conducting po
A novel bidirectional current ON–OFF switch controlled by electron injection and deprivation was proposed on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT) calculation over a fullerene–phthalocyanin
Here we compare the change in conductance when molecules wired between the ends of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes are switched between different states of conjugation. Our experimental appr
