Molecular-scale in-operando reconfigurable electronic hardware.

ABSTRACT: It is challenging to reconfigure devices at molecular length scales. Here we report molecular junctions based on molecular switches that toggle stably and reliably between multiple operations to reconfigure electronic devices at molecular length scales. Rather than static on/off switches that always revert to the same state, our voltage-driven molecular device dynamically switches between high and low conduction states during six consecutive proton-coupled electron transfer steps. By changing the applied voltage, different states are accessed resulting in in operando reconfigurable electronic functionalities of variable resistor, diode, memory, and NDR (negative differential conductance). The switching behavior is voltage driven but also has time-dependent features making it possibl
