摘要：

We have studied oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s inserted into amide-containing alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers using scanning tunneling microscopy to demonstrate switching based on chemical functionality of the environment of the inserted molecules. The molecules show stability in two conductance states: an ON and an OFF state. We demonstrate bias-dependent switching due to hydrogen bonding between the inserted oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) and the matrix molecules. In addition, the inserted molecules exhibit fewer switching events than previously reported for alkanethiol matrixes, which we attribute to the rigidity of the hydrogen-bonded matrix.
