Certain
single molecules
are able to conduct electricity and hence representing the basic function of
a wire. They can be used to build up nanometer-sized
electrical circuits (molecularelectronics).
A
molecular
wire - the simplest electronic
component - is a quasi-one-dimensional molecule
that can transport charge carriers (electrons
or holes) between its ends. [Michael D Ward]
