  bibo_abstract:
  - We simultaneously measure conductance and force across nanoscale junctions. A
    new, two-dimensional histogram technique is introduced to statistically extract
    bond rupture forces from a large data set of individual junction elongation traces.
    For the case of Au point contacts, we find a rupture force of 1.4 ± 0.2 nN, which
    is in good agreement with previous measurements. We then study systematic trends
    for single gold metal−molecule−metal junctions for a series of molecules terminated
    with amine and pyridine linkers. For all molecules studied, single molecule junctions
    rupture at the Au−N bond. Selective binding of the linker group allows us to correlate
    the N−Au bond-rupture force to the molecular backbone. We find that the rupture
    force ranges from 0.8 nN for 4,4′ bipyridine to 0.5 nN in 1,4 diaminobenzene.
    These experimental results are in excellent quantitative agreement with density
    functional theory based adiabatic molecular junction elongation and rupture calculations.@eng
