Abstract

The conductance of a family of biphenyl-dithiol derivatives with conformationally fixed torsion angle was measured using the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)-break-junction method. We found that it depends on the torsion angle φ between two phenyl rings; twisting the biphenyl system from flat (φ = 0°) to perpendicular (φ = 90°) decreased the conductance by a factor of 30. Detailed calculations ...
