Abstract
Abstract We demonstrate here a new sample preparation method satisfying requirements for ideal single-molecule conductance measurements using break junction methods. By diluting a targeted dithiol in an insulating self-assembled monolayer of a short methane thiolate with an adamantane cage on Au(111), we succeeded in constructing reproducible conductance histograms with clear peaks for the dithiol using all measured conductance traces.
