H-Activated Single Molecule Conductance and Binding Mechanism of Imidazole on Gold We identify imidazole as a pH-activated linker for forming stable single molecule–gold junctions with several distinct configurations and reproducible electrical characteristics. Using a scanning tunneling microscope break junction (STMBJ) technique, we find multiple robust conductance signatures at integer multiples of 1.9 × 10–2G0 and […]
