STM study of oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s

A detailed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of two variants of oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) molecules is presented. These molecules might serve as molecular wires up to ≈ 5 nm in length. Self-assembled arrangements as well as single molecules on a Au(111) surface were analyzed. The mol...
