A review of oligo(arylene ethynylene) derivatives in molecular junctions (2021)
Journal Article
O'Driscoll, L. J., & Bryce, M. R. (2021). A review of oligo(arylene ethynylene) derivatives in molecular junctions. Nanoscale, 13(24), 10668-10711. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1nr02023d

Oligo(arylene ethynylene) (OAE) derivatives are the “workhorse” molecules of molecular electronics. Their ease of synthesis and flexibility of functionalisation mean that a diverse array of OAE molecular wires have been designed, synthesised and stud...

Extended curly arrow rules to rationalise and predict structural effects on quantum interference in molecular junctions (2021)
Journal Article
O'Driscoll, L. J., & Bryce, M. R. (2021). Extended curly arrow rules to rationalise and predict structural effects on quantum interference in molecular junctions. Nanoscale, 13(2), 1103-1123. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0nr07819k

The ability to easily and reliably predict quantum interference (QI) behaviour would facilitate the design of functional molecular wires with potential applications in switches, transistors and thermoelectric devices. A variety of predictive methods... Read More about Extended curly arrow rules to rationalise and predict structural effects on quantum interference in molecular junctions.
