J Am Chem Soc. 2016 Mar 9;138(9):2905-8. doi: 10.1021/jacs.5b12086. Epub 2016 Feb 25.

Abstract

Here we present a solution-based assembly method for producing molecular transport junctions employing metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes as nanoelectrodes. The molecular junction conductance of a series of oligophenyls was successfully measured, highlighting the potential of an all-carbon based approach for the fabrication of solution-processable single-molecule junctions for molecular electronics.
