I want to bring out the best in my lovely child (molecule).
We evaluated the single-molecule conductance of perfluorinated cubane derivatives versus non-fluorinated references via the STM-BJ technique. During this study, we established a synthesis for hexafluorodihalocubanes. Structural analysis of the iodine derivative revealed the shortest C(sp3)–I bond recorded to date, the origins of which were clarified using theoretical chemistry.
