Molecular switching by proton-coupled electron transport drives giant negative differential resistance

Abstract To develop new types of dynamic molecular devices with atomic-scale control over electronic function, new types of molecular switches are needed with time-dependent switching probabilities. We report such a molecular switch based on proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction with gian...
