Robust large-area molecular junctions of self-assembled monolayers of a model helical paddlewheel complex

We report the preparation of a helical complex and its study in molecular junctions. We show that the SAMs of this racemic compound present electrically robust behaviour which will pave the way for future studies on the CISS effect with analogous enantiopure compounds.
