Highly-effective gating of single-molecule junctions: an electrochemical approach.
We report an electrochemical gating approach with ∼100% efficiency to tune the conductance of single-molecule 4,4'-bipyridine junctions using scanning-tunnelling-microscopy break junction technique. Density functional theory calculation suggests that electrochemical gating aligns molecular frontier orbitals relative to the electrode Fermi-level, switching the molecule from an off resonance stat...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Charge Transport and Electrochemical Gating in Redox-Active Perylene Diimide Junctions
A series of redox-active perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) derivatives have been synthesized and studied by electrochemical cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy break junction techniques. These PTCDI molecules feature the substitution of pyrrolidine at the bay (1,7-) position of perylene and are named pyrrolidine-PTCDIs. These moieties exhibit a small ban...

The single-molecular conductance of a redox active molecular bridge has been studied in an electrochemical single-molecule transistor configuration in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). The redox active pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene (pTTF) moiety was attached to gold contacts at both ends through -(CH(2))(6)S- groups, and gating of the redox state was achieved with the electrochemical potenti...
متن کاملTunable charge transport in single-molecule junctions via electrolytic gating.
We modulate the conductance of electrochemically inactive molecules in single-molecule junctions using an electrolytic gate to controllably tune the energy level alignment of the system. Molecular junctions that conduct through their highest occupied molecular orbital show a decrease in conductance when applying a positive electrochemical potential, and those that conduct though their lowest un...
متن کاملBreak junction under electrochemical gating: testbed for single-molecule electronics.
Molecular electronics aims to construct functional molecular devices at the single-molecule scale. One of the major challenges is to construct a single-molecule junction and to further manipulate the charge transport through the molecular junction. Break junction techniques, including STM break junctions and mechanically controllable break junctions are considered as testbed to investigate and ...
