Current/voltage characteristics of monolayers of redox-switchable [2]catenanes on gold
Redox-controllable molecular switches composed of two interlocking rings are incorporated here into Langmuir films starting from two different redox states. The morphologies of the resulting monolayers and their current-voltage characteristics are then investigated. These switches are considered to be ideal candidates for the fabrication of molecule-based electronic devices.
