โฆ Synopsis
Asymmetries in the macroscopic and the nanoscopic DC electrical conductivity through Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers and monolayers of g g g g g-(n-hexadecyl)quinolinium tricyanoquinodimethanide (HDQ-3CNQ, 1) are due to a transition from the ground-state zwitterion to a probably neutral excited-state conformer, thus confirming without a shadow of a doubt the rectification of electrical current by a single molecule. *

## Abstract Various investigators have shown that in the marine hydroids, __Tubularia, Obelia, Eudendrium__, and __Pennaria__, regeneration and polarity is affected by an electrical field applied parallel to the regenerate. Using electrical currents up to the physiological limits for __Hydra__, no
