Electrophotocatalysis with a Trisaminocyclopropenium Radical Dication
He Huang,Zack M. Strater,Michael Rauch,James Shee,Thomas J. Sisto,Colin Nuckolls,Tristan H. Lambert,Tristan H. Lambert +7 more
TL;DR: This chemistry employs a trisaminocyclopropium ion catalyst, which is electrochemically oxidized to form a cyclopropenium radical dication intermediate, which undergoes photoexcitation with visible light to produce an excited state species with oxidizing power sufficient to oxidize benzene and halogenated benzenes via single electron transfer (SET).

Transferring self-assembled, nanoscale cables into electrical devices.
Shengxiong Xiao,Jinyao Tang,T. Beetz,Xuefeng Guo,Noah Tremblay,Theo Siegrist,Yimei Zhu,Michael L. Steigerwald,Colin Nuckolls +8 more
TL;DR: This study details a new derivative of the contorted HBCs that self-organizes into one-dimensional, single-crystalline fibers that utilizes elastomer stamps to manipulate and position isolated fibers in organic field effect transistors.

Dissecting contact mechanics from quantum interference in single-molecule junctions of stilbene derivatives.
Sriharsha V. Aradhya,Jeffrey S. Meisner,Markrete Krikorian,Seokhoon Ahn,Radha Parameswaran,Michael L. Steigerwald,Colin Nuckolls,Latha Venkataraman +7 more
TL;DR: These experiments provide the first direct quantitative study of the interplay between contact mechanics and the distinctively quantum mechanical nature of electronic transport in single-molecule junctions.
Tuning Rectification in Single-Molecular Diodes
Arunabh Batra,Pierre Darancet,Pierre Darancet,Qishui Chen,Jeffrey S. Meisner,Jonathan R. Widawsky,Jeffrey B. Neaton,Colin Nuckolls,Latha Venkataraman +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the high-bias properties of "gateway" states can be used to provide additional functionality to molecular electronic systems and are the first experimental demonstration of a rationally tunable system of single-molecule rectifiers.
Stereoelectronic switching in single-molecule junctions
TL;DR: In this paper, the first single-molecule switch that operates through a stereoelectronic effect was demonstrated in permethyloligosilanes with methylthiomethyl electrode linkers.
