Single-Molecule Conductance Studies of Organometallic Complexes Bearing 3-Thienyl Contacting Groups.

ABSTRACT: The compounds and complexes 1,4-C₆ H₄ (C≡C-cyclo-3-C₄ H₃ S)₂ (2), trans-[Pt(C≡C-cyclo-3-C₄ H₃ S)₂ (PEt₃ )₂ ] (3), trans-[Ru(C≡C-cyclo-3-C₄ H₃ S)₂ (dppe)₂ ] (4; dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) and trans-[Ru(C≡C-cyclo-3-C₄ H₃ S)₂ {P(OEt)₃ }₄ ] (5) featuring the 3-thienyl moiety as a surface contacting group for gold electrodes have been prepared, crystallographically characterised in the case of 3-5 and studied in metal|molecule|metal junctions by using both scanning tunnelling microscope break-junction (STM-BJ) and STM-I(s) methods (measuring the tunnelling current (I) as a func
