Direct measurement of single-molecule electrical transparency by break junction experiments has become a major field of research over the two last decades. This review specifically and comprehensively highlights the use of porphyrins as molecular components and discusses their potential use for the construction of future devices. Throughout the review, the features provided by porphyrins, such as low level misalignments and very low attenuation factors, are shown with numerous examples, illustrating the potential and limitations of these molecular junctions, as well as differences emerging from applied integration/investigation techniques.
在过去二十年中,通过断结实验直接测量单分子电透明度已成为一个主要的研究领域。本综述特别全面地强调了卟啉作为分子组件的用途,并讨论了它们在构建未来器件方面的潜在用途。在整个综述中,通过大量示例展示了卟啉所具有的特性,如低水平失准和极低的衰减因子,阐明了这些分子结的潜力和局限性,以及应用的集成/研究技术所产生的差异。
