Biphenylene and fluorene molecules with linkers of two amino groups or two cyclic thioether groups were synthesized and their conduction properties were investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) break-junction techniques and DFT calculations. Despite the partial antiaromaticity of biphenylene, which causes the biphenylenes to be much more easily oxidizable, no significant increase in molecular conductance was found.
