This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly developing field of molecular electronics. It focuses on our present understanding of the electrical conduction in single-molecule circuits and provides a thorough introduction to the experimental techniques and theoretical concepts. It will also constitute as the first textbook-like introduction to both the experiment and theory of electronic transport through single atoms and molecules. In this sense, this publication will prove invaluable to both researchers and students interested in the field of nanoelectronics and nanoscience in general. Molecular Electronics is self-contained and unified in its presentation. It may be used as a textbook on nanoelectronics by graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying physics and chemistry. In addition, included are previously unpublished material that will help researchers gain a deeper understanding into the basic concepts involved in the field of molecular electronics.

The field of single molecule electronics, where the charge transport properties of a variety of single molecular systems are investigated, has vastly increased in popularity over the last decade. This thesis in particular explores the single molecule conductance and electron transfer over a range of molecules in a room temperature ionic liquid medium. Prior to the work contained in this thesis, no conductance measurements of a single molecule had been recorded in a room temperature ionic liquid medium, to the best of our knowledge. Due to the novelty of room temperature ionic liquids in this field, it was decided that alkanedithiols would be an ideal starting point, largely due to their simplicity and reputation as a model system in single molecule electronics. Ionic liquids have several notable advantages as a medium in such measurements and the aim of the research contained in this thesis is first to show that ionic liquids are indeed a viable medium and secondly, to demonstrate their advantages over more widely used, conventional aqueous or organic media. The redox active molecular wire pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene is a particular molecule which would highlight the benefits of an ionic liquid medium, as it has a redox transition which is outside of the potential window available to aqueous electrolytes. Single molecule conductance measurements were obtained using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), in particular, the current-distance I(s) technique, and for alkanedithiols also the STM break junction technique. The electrochemistry of pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and a monolayer of pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene was characterised using polarisation modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS).

PPV materials are very stable and can be further functionalized along their main-chains, however due to shorter effective conjugations lengths (smaller than that of the oligoenes), the range of electronic tunability is smaller in these materials. In addition to this family of symmetric molecules other asymmetric oligoene molecules were synthesized as candidates for single-molecule rectification. These molecules allow different electronic coupling to the right and left electrodes, which may modulate their IV characteristics.
