Comparison of the conductance of three types of porphyrin-based molecular wires: β,meso,β-fused tapes, meso-Butadiyne-linked and twisted meso-meso linked oligomers.

The length dependence of charge transport is evaluated in three families of porphyrin-based wires. Planar edge-fused tapes and alkyne-linked oligomers mediate efficient charge transport with exceptionally shallow distance dependence, whereas the conductances of the twisted singly linked chains decre...
