Spectroscopic tracking of molecular transport junctions generated by using click chemistry.
Click to fill the gap: The in situ modular fabrication of molecular transport junctions in nanogaps generated by on-wire lithography is achieved by using click chemistry (see picture). The formation of molecular junctions proceeds in high yields and can be used to test different molecules; the triazole group also maintains conjugation in the molecular wires. Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize the molecular assembly processes.
