  text: We modulate the conductance of electrochemically inactive molecules in single-molecule
    junctions using an electrolytic gate to controllably tune the energy level alignment
    of the system. Molecular junctions that conduct through their highest occupied
    molecular orbital show a decrease in conductance when applying a positive electrochemical
    potential, and those that conduct though their lowest unoccupied molecular orbital
    show the opposite trend. We fit the experimentally measured conductance data as
    a function of gate voltage with a Lorentzian function and find the fitting parameters
    to be in quantitative agreement with self-energy corrected density functional
    theory calculations of transmission probability across single-molecule junctions.
    This work shows that electrochemical gating can directly modulate the alignment
    of the conducting orbital relative to the metal Fermi energy, thereby changing
    the junction transport properties.
