TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that the formation of carbon–carbon bonds is accelerated by an electric field, and a fivefold increase in the frequency of formation of single-molecule junctions is found.

TL;DR: Charge transport through symmetric tetraphenyl and non-symmetric diblock dipyrimidinyldiphenyl molecules covalently bound to two electrodes is studied to study diode behaviour in single molecules.

TL;DR: It is shown that a plasmonic-based electrochemical current-imaging technique can simultaneously image and quantify the electrocatalytic reactions of an array of 1.6 × 10(5) platinum nanoparticles printed on an electrode surface, which could facilitate high-throughput screening of the catalytic activities of nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The charge transport characteristics of a family of long conjugated molecular wires have been studied using the scanning tunneling microscope break junction technique and the evolution of molecular junctions as the tip retracts is explained.

TL;DR: The measurement and statistical study of thousands of current-voltage characteristics and transition voltage spectra of single-molecule junctions with different contact geometries that are rapidly acquired using a new break junction method at room temperature reveal the role of contact geometry in both the contact resistance and energy level alignment of a molecular junction.
