Specifically, we have found that the conduction pathway connects the Au electrodes to the aromatic π-system via the chalcogen p lone pairs, and greater overlaps among these components lead to higher conductivity through the molecular junction."}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2025-01-03T10:14:29Z","page":"10820-10821","scopus_import":"1","publication_status":"published","month":"07","citation":{"ieee":"Y.
