Future applications of single-molecular and large-surface area molecular devices require a thorough understanding control junctions, interfacial phenomena, intermolecular interactions. In this contribution the concept single-molecule junction host-guest complexation to sheath benchmark wire–namely 4,4′-(1,4-phenylenebis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))dianiline – with an insulating cage, pillar[5]arene 1,4-di...
