  bibo_abstract:
  - One-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon wires, including cumulenes and polyynes,
    can be regarded as finite versions of carbynes. They are likely to be good candidates
    for molecular-scale conducting wires as they are predicted to have a high-conductance.
    In this study, we first characterize the single-molecule conductance of a series
    of cumulenes and polyynes with a backbone ranging in length from 4 to 8 carbon
    atoms, including [7]cumulene, the longest cumulenic carbon wire studied to date
    for molecular electronics. We observe different length dependence of conductance
    when comparing these two forms of carbon wires. Polyynes exhibit conductance decays
    with increasing molecular length, while cumulenes show a conductance increase
    with increasing molecular length. Their distinct conducting behaviors are attributed
    to their different bond length alternation, which is supported by theoretical
    calculations. This study confirms the long-standing theoretical predictions on
    sp-hybridized carbon wires and demonstrates that cumulenes can form highly conducting
    molecular wires.@eng
