Insights into Chemical Bonding Modes and Heat Transport at the Molecular Level.

ABSTRACT: Despite the demand for nanoscale thermal management technologies of material surfaces and interfaces using organic molecules, heat transport properties at the single molecular level remain elusive due to the experimental difficulty of measuring temperature at the nanoscopic scale. Here we show how chemical bonding modes can affect the heat transport properties of single molecules. We focused on four molecular systems: benzylthiol linked to another phenyl group by either a triple (compound 1), double (3), or amide (4) bond and a common linear alkanethiol (2), all of which are nearly identical in molecular length. We prepared binary self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using 1 as a common reference in combination with 2-4 and investigated their re
