Preface
Governing individual molecules and their utilization is one of the scientific dreams of our age. The realization of this dream could open the door to a miniaturization revolution in electronics. Molecular electronics pursues the use of individual molecules as fundamental electronic components. The inherent properties of molecules such as nano-size, low cost, scalability, and self-assembly are seen by many as a perfect complement to conventional silicon electronics. In addition, molecules can be designed with the desired functionality and prepared using common elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, without the need for rare earth metals. Understanding and governing the charge-transfer phenomena occurring at the molecular level could revolutionize a number of related fields, including energy harvesting, data storage, batteries, sensing devices, and displays. For these reasons, molecule-based electronics has captured the attention of a broad cross section of the scientific community. Molecular electronics is an interdisciplinary science that requires researchers from different backgrounds to work together. This cooperation includes the design of molecules with the desired functionality, the measurement of the electronic and structur
