We demonstrate that molecular conductance through the BODIPY core can be measured by introducing aurophilic linkers at the 2,6-positions. By varying these linkers, we systematically modulate the frontier molecular orbital energies and fine-tune transport behavior. Our experimental results are supported by DFT-based calculations, which feature a new computationally efficient correction to standard PBE-level transmission predictions. Together, these findings establish the viability of BODIPY-based systems for molecular junction applications and lay the groundwork for future studies of their single-molecule optoelectronic properties."}],"file":[{"file_id":"20332","success":1,"creator":"dernst","file_name":"2025_NanoLetters_York.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2025-09-10T05:53:28Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":2995757,"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2025-09-10T05:53:28Z","checksum":"7011651e536aba6dafe112dda227d9ef"}],"file_date_updated":"2025-09-10T05:53:28Z","title":"Tuning conductance in BODIPY-based single-molecule junctions","status":"public","publication_status":"epub_ahead","oa":1,"corr_author":"1","day":"25","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"has_accepted_license":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1530-6984"],"eissn":["1530-6992"]},"acknowledgement":"We thank the National Science Foundation (No. NSF-DMR 2241180) for supporting this research.
