The Role of Oligomeric Gold-Thiolate Units in Single Molecule Junc-tions of Thiol-Anchored Molecules

Edmund Leary, Linda A. Zotti, Delia Miguel +6

Using the break junction (BJ) technique we show that Au(RS)2 units play a significant role in thiol-terminated molecular junctions formed on gold. We have studied a range of thiol-…
