Figure 5: Single-molecule conductance measurements.
From: High conductance values in π-folded molecular junctions
(a) Individual pulling traces and (b) conductance histograms of the different foldamers. All conductance values were extracted from Gaussian fits. (c) Calculated ß value for the π–π foldamers. Error bars capture the variability in peak position. (d) Conductance histograms for #-trimer-NH2. (e) Structure of #-trimer-NH2. (f) Conductance histograms for the pentamer-NH2 at variable temperatures. (g) Arrhenius plot of the single-molecule conductance for the pentamer-NH2. Error bars represent the s.d. of the experimental conductance values extracted from the full width at half maximum of the Gaussian fits. Applied voltage bias were 5 mV for the trimer-NH2–pentamer-NH2 series and 50 mV for dimer-NH2.
