Figure 10
The figure of merit of the Au-anthracene-Au junction as a function of temperature for the thiol-terminated junction with amine (blue), nitro (magenta) or methyl (green) as the side group in (a) \(\mathrm{R}^{\prime }\) and (b) \(\mathrm{R}\) positions. The electrical conductance of the isocyanide-terminated junction with amine (blue), nitro (magenta) or methyl (green) side group in (c) \(\mathrm{R}^{\prime }\) and (d) \(\mathrm{R}\) positions. Furthermore, the figure of merit of the unperturbed (U.P.; red) system in the absence of side groups is drawn as a reference.
