We report the synthesis of a series of oligophenylene-ethynylene (OPE) derivatives with biphenylene core units, designed to assess the effects of biphenylene antiaromaticity on charge transport in molecular junctions. Analogues with naphthalene, anth... Read More about Exploring antiaromaticity in single-molecule junctions formed from biphenylene derivatives.
