Electronic Communication as a Transferable Property of Molecular Bridges?
journal contribution
posted on 2019-08-24, 12:13 authored by Carmen HerrmannElectronic
communication through molecular bridges is important
for different types of experiments, such as single-molecule conductance,
electron transfer, superexchange spin coupling, and intramolecular
singlet fission. In many instances, the chemical structure of the
bridge determines how the two parts it is connecting communicate,
and does so in ways that are transferable between these different
manifestations (for example, high conductance often correlates with
strong antiferromagnetic spin coupling, and low conductance due to
destructive quantum interference correlates with ferromagnetic coupling).
Defining electronic communication as a transferable property of the
bridge can help transfer knowledge between these different areas of
research. Examples and limits of such transferability are discussed
here, along with some possible directions for future research, such
as employing spin-coupled and mixed-valence systems as structurally
well-controlled proxies for understanding molecular conductance and
for validating first-principles theoretical methodologies, building
conceptual understanding for the growing experimental work on intramolecular
singlet fission, and developing measures for the transferability of
electronic communication as a bridge property.
