Single-Molecule Mechanoresistivity by Intermetallic Bonding.

ABSTRACT: The metal-electrode interface is key to unlocking emergent behaviour in all organic electrified systems, from battery technology to molecular electronics. In the latter, interfacial engineering has enabled efficient transport, higher device stability, and novel functionality. Mechanoresistivity - the change in electrical behaviour in response to a mechanical stimulus and a pathway to extremely sensitive force sensors - is amongst the most studied phenomena in molecular electronics, and the molecule-electrode interface plays a pivotal role in its emergence, reproducibility, and magnitude. In this contribution, we show that organometallic molecular wires incorporating a Pt(II) cation show mechanoresistive behaviour of exceptional magnitude, with conductance modulations of more than three ord
