A Peierls transition in long polymethine molecular wires: Evolution of molecular geometry and single-molecule conductance

<p>Molecules capable of mediating charge transport over several nanometers with minimal decay in conductance have fundamental and technological implications. Polymethine cyanine dyes are fascinating molecular wires because up to a critical length, they have no bond-length alternation (BLA) and...
