✦ Synopsis

Electron transport … … in p-stacked systems plays a vital role in biological systems, organic electronics, and materials science. In their Communication on page 5708 ff., M. Kiguchi, M. Fujita et al. report the successful formation of, and single-molecule conductance in, molecular junctions comprising discrete assemblies of p-stacked aromatic molecules enclosed within self-assembled coordination cages. The single-molecule p-stacks exhibit good conductance and show only a moderate loss with increasing transport length.
