Resumé

This project will establish single-molecule conductance measurement capability in Denmark. This technique allows us to measure the current that flows through a single molecule and has been applied in molecular electronics as well as more generally as a single-molecule spectroscopy, for example in situ measurements of electrocatalytic reactions. The instrument will be the key infrastructure in a new experimental sub-group in the group of Professor Gemma C. Solomon at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. The instrument will also support the efforts of a number of synthetic chemistry groups, who are currently dependent on experimental groups outside Denmark for conductance measurements, and provide us with great opportunities for developing new and existing collaborations.
