In this Review, we survey the field from a chemical perspective and discuss the structure–property relationships of the three components that form a single-molecule junction: the anchor, the electrode and the molecular bridge. The spatial orientation and electronic coupling between each component profoundly affect the conductance properties and functions of the single-molecule device. We describe the design principles of the anchor group, the influence of the electronic configuration of the electrode and the effect of manipulating the structure of the molecular backbone and of its substituent groups. We discuss single-molecule conductance switches as well as the phenomenon of quantum interference and then trace their fundamental roots back to chemical principles.","lang":"eng"}],"intvolume":"         1","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Chemical principles of single-molecule electronics","publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1038/natrevmats.2016.2","article_type":"original","scopus_import":"1","OA_type":"closed access","author":[{"full_name":"Su, Timothy A.","last_name":"Su","first_name":"Timothy A."},{"first_name":"Madhav","last_name":"Neupane","full_name":"Neupane, Madhav"},{"full_name":"Steigerwald, Michael L.","first_name":"Michael L.","last_name":"Steigerwald"},{"first_name":"Latha","last_name":"Venkataraman","orcid":"0000-0002-6957-6089","full_name":"Venkataraman, Latha","id":"9ebb78a5-cc0d-11ee-8322-fae086a32caf"},{"first_name":"Colin","last_name":"Nuckolls","full_name":"Nuckolls, Colin"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2058-8437"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"16002","publisher":"Springer Nature","issue":"3","volume":1,"oa_version":"None","article_processing_charge":"No"}
