(author), Dulić, Diana (author), Hill, Jonathan P. (author)A conformationally flexible calix[4]pyrrole possessing a conjugated electronic structure (an N-substituted oxoporphyrinogen (OxP) related to porphyrin) was used to investigate the influence of mechanical stretching on the single-molecule conductance of these molecules using the mechanically-controlled break junction (MCBJ) technique. The...journal article 2018

Carolina (author), Dulić, Diana (author), Ruiz, Eliseo (author), Aliaga-Alcalde, Núria (author), Soler, Monica (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)We have studied the single-molecule conductance of a family of curcuminoid molecules (CCMs) using the mechanically controlled break junction (MCBJ) technique. The CCMs under study contain methylthio (MeS-) as anchoring groups: MeS-CCM (1), the free-ligand organic molecule, and two coordination compounds, MeS-CCM-BF<sub>2</sub> (2) and MeS-CCM...journal article 2018

(author), Suarez, Catalina (author), Liu, Shuming (author), Soler, Monica (author), Echegoyen, Luis (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Dulić, Diana (author)Fullerenes have attracted interest for their possible applications in various electronic, biological, and optoelectronic devices. However, for efficient use in such devices, a suitable anchoring group has to be employed that forms well-defined and stable contacts with the electrodes. In this work, we propose a novel fullerene tetramalonate...journal article 2017
