Single molecule conductance traces for PPP unexpectedly show two distinct populations, as demonstrated by characteristic single molecule conductance traces for high and low conductance features (Figure ). Singly anchored molecules are generally thought to form active junctions through intermolecular stacking interactions , where two different molecules, each anchored to a different electrode, form non-covalent dimeric interactions to complete the circuit. We hypothesized that the low-conductance feature in singly anchored p-terphenyl derivatives arises due to intermolecular stacked junctions (Figure ). However, in the STM-BJ setup, the applied bias between the two electrodes results in relatively high electric field gradients (~0.1-0.5 V/nm) in the nanoscale junction. We posited that the electric field could promote the formation of a dynamic terminal anchor in molecular junctions without requiring the cleavage or chemical reaction of additional functional groups (Figure ). We aimed to understand if such a mechanism could give rise to dynamic anchors resulting in well-defined conductance pathways in singly anchored organic molecules.
