What is it about?
In this joint experimental and theoretical study, we advance the possibility of creating single molecule breadboard circuits through an analysis of the conductance of a bis-terpyridine based molecule (TP1).

Why is it important?
Controlling charge flow in single molecule circuits with multiple electrical contacts and conductance pathways is a much sought after goal in molecular electronics. This study demonstrates the following important effects on single molecule conductance (i) Multiple conductance pathways (ii) multiple anchoring group possibilities (iii) Quantum interference effects.
Perspectives
In this paper, we discuss the possible development of molecular circuit theory and experimental advances necessary for mapping conductance through complex single molecular breadboard circuits in terms of their constituent subcircuits.
