Systematic Cross-Linking Changes within a Self-Assembled Monolayer in a Nanogap Junction: A Tool for Investigating the Intermolecular Electronic Coupling

Here, we show that a controllable cross-linking within a self-assembled monolayer can be used as a tool for investigating the (lateral) intermolecular coupling between adjacent organic molecules. We draw this conclusion based on macroscopic electrical experiments with self-assembled hexyltrichlorosi...

Summary:Here, we show that a controllable cross-linking within a self-assembled monolayer can be used as a tool for investigating the (lateral) intermolecular coupling between adjacent organic molecules. We draw this conclusion based on macroscopic electrical experiments with self-assembled hexyltrichlorosilane (HTS) having different degrees of Si−O−Si intermolecular bonds in a planar nanogap junction.
