Introduction Our understanding of how to design molecules that efficiently conduct electricity across a nanogap in a molecular junction (metal-molecule-metal) configuration has increased dramatically in the past 15 years.1-7 The contact groups are a fundamental part of the design of molecular wires, providing chemical, mechanical and electronic coupling of the molecular species to the electrodes.
