Significant conductance enhancement can be achieved by topology modification of n-type semiconducting naphthalenediimide (NDI) as a molecular circuit. Hydrazine not only reduces electron-deficient NDI to NDI•–radical anions but also modifies the topology by selectively replacing the amino acid methy...
