Abstract
- Single molecular conductance of molecular wires is effectively evaluated by the combination of STM apparent height measurement and a 2-D phase separation technique. Previously the method was only applied to a set of molecular wires with the same physical length, but herein we applied the method to thienylene-based and phenylene-based molecular wires with different physical lengths. By considering the difference in physical molecular height including thermal contribution of conformational isomers, the conductance ratio was determined to be 1.3 ± 0.7, which is in agreement with the reported value determined by a break-junction method.
