We first characterize an imidazole-gold contact by measuring the conductance of imidazolyl-terminated alkanes (im-N-im, N = 3–6). We show that the conductance of these alkanes decays exponentially with increasing length, indicating that the mechanism for electron transport is through tunneling or super-exchange. We also reveal that π–π stacked dimers can be formed between imidazoles and have better coupling than through-bond tunneling. These experimental results are rationalized by calculations of molecular junction transmission using non-equilibrium Green's function formalism. This study verifies the capability of imidazole as a Au-binding ligand to form stable single- and π-stacked molecule junctions at room temperature.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1039/c9sc03760h","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2041-6539"],"issn":["2041-6520"]},"publisher":"Royal Society of Chemistry","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by_nc.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC 3.0)","short":"CC BY-NC (3.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode"},"volume":10,"publication_status":"published"}
