  bibo_abstract:
  - Ferrocenes are ubiquitous organometallic building blocks that comprise a Fe atom
    sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings that rotate freely at room
    temperature. Of widespread interest in fundamental studies and real-world applications,
    they have also attracted some interest as functional elements of molecular-scale
    devices. Here we investigate the impact of the configurational degrees of freedom
    of a ferrocene derivative on its single-molecule junction conductance. Measurements
    indicate that the conductance of the ferrocene derivative, which is suppressed
    by 2 orders of magnitude as compared to a fully conjugated analogue, can be modulated
    by altering the junction configuration. Ab initio transport calculations show
    that the low conductance is a consequence of destructive quantum interference
    effects of the Fano type that arise from the hybridization of localized metal-based
    d-orbitals and the delocalized ligand-based π-system. By rotation of the Cp rings,
    the hybridization, and thus the quantum interference, can be mechanically controlled,
    resulting in a conductance modulation that is seen experimentally.@eng
