Redox-controlled conductance of polyoxometalate molecular junctions
We demonstrate the reversible in situ photoreduction of molecular junctions of a phosphomolybdate [PMo12O40]3− monolayer self-assembled on flat gold electrodes, connected by the tip of a conductive atomic force microscope. The conductance of the one electron reduced [PMo12O40]4− molecular junction is increased by ∼10, and this open-shell state is stable in the junction in air at room temperature. The… Read More
