Influence of low-symmetry distortions on electron transport through metal atom chains: when is a molecular wire really "broken"?

In the field of molecular electronics, an intimate link between the delocalization of molecular orbitals and their ability to support current flow is often assumed. Delocalization, in turn, is generally regarded as being synonymous with structural symmetry, for example, in the lengths of the bonds a...
