Fig. 4: The solvent effect on conductance measurement of o-PP-2SMe in the concentration of 0.2 mM.

a One-dimensional conductance histograms of o-PP-2SMe in different solvents along with the values of the conductance peaks labeled beside the fitting curves. b Two-dimensional conductance–displacement histogram of o-PP-2SMe in TCB with black dashed circle labeling the density cloud of LC state. Inset: relative displacement distribution. c Typical individual traces of o-PP-2SMe in TCB. The yellow frame corresponds to the plateau of HC states, while the orange frame corresponds to the plateau of LC states.
