Developing molecular circuits that can function as the active components in electrical devices is an ongoing challenge electronics. It demands mechanical stability of single-molecule circuit while simultaneously being responsive to external stimuli mimicking operation conventional electronic components. Here, we report based on spiropyran derivatives respond electrically chemical and stimuli. The merocyanine results from protonation/ring-opening form showed diode characteristics, with...

Together with the more intuitive and commonly recognized conductance mechanisms of charge-hopping tunneling, quantum-interference (QI) phenomena have been identified as important factors affecting charge transport through molecules. Consequently, establishing simple flexible molecular-design strategies to understand, control, exploit QI in molecular junctions poses an exciting challenge. Here we demonstrate that destructive quantum interference (DQI) meta-substituted phenylene ethylene-type...

A new paradigm for the synthesis of 4′-pyridyl terpyridines using poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) as a benign reaction medium is described, with compounds readily accessible in high purity ca. 4 hours 'one pot' procedure. This method requires no product purification and affords desired reasonable yield without formation unwanted side products.

Large metal-oxo clusters consistently assume spherical or regular polyhedral morphologies rather than high-aspect-ratio structures. Access to elongated core structures has now been achieved by the reaction of lanthanoid salts with a tetrazole-functionalized calixarene in presence simple carboxylate co-ligand. The resulting Ln19 and Ln12 are constructed from apex-fused Ln5O6 trigonal bipyramids formed under range conditions reagent ratios. Altering co-ligand structure reliably controls...
