Charge transport of F4TCNQ with different electronic states in single-molecule junctions.
Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)(2023)
Abstract
The molecular conductance of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8,-tetracyano-quinodimethane (F4TCNQ) with different electronic states (neutral, radical anion, and dianion) was investigated by the scanning tunneling microscope break junction (STM-BJ) technique. These electronic states have distinct conductance, and the conductance decreases in the order of neutral > radical anion > dianion. Surprisingly, the molecular conductance of the neutral F4TCNQ junction reaches 10, attributed to its LUMO energy level being close to the Fermi level of the gold electrode. Moreover, we found that neutral F4TCNQ can be gradually reduced to radical anions under a relatively low bias voltage of 100 mV. These results will advance the development of organic optoelectronic devices and molecule electronics.
