Mechanical stretching-induced electron transfer reactions and conductance switching in single molecules

A central idea in electron-transfer theories is the coupling of the electronic state of a molecule to its structure. Here we show experimentally that fine changes to molecular structures by mechanically stretching a single metal complex molecule via changing the metal–ligand bond length can shift it...
