  bibo_abstract:
  - 'We have measured the conductance of single-molecule junctions created with three
    different molecular wires using the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction
    technique. Each wire contains one of three different cyclic five-membered rings:
    cyclopentadiene, furan, or thiophene. We find that the single-molecule conductance
    of these three wires correlates negatively with the resonance energy of the five-membered
    ring; the nonaromatic cyclopentadiene derivative has the highest conductance,
    while the most aromatic of this series, thiophene, has the lowest. Furthermore,
    we show for another wire structure that the conductance of furan-based wires is
    consistently higher than for analogous thiophene systems, indicating that the
    negative correlation between conductance and aromaticity is robust. The best conductance
    would be for a quinoid structure that diminishes aromaticity. The energy penalty
    for partly adopting the quinoid structure is less with compounds having lower
    initial aromatic stabilization. An additional effect may reflect the lower HOMOs
    of aromatic compounds.@eng'
