Descripción
Sumario:	The article discusses single-molecule junctions and its role in the establishment of the orientation of an Au-S or Au-Se bond. It emphasizes the significance of understanding transport through this molecular junction to develop nanoscale devices. It outlines the syntheses of molecules and explored the hypothesis through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It notes that molecular junction generates higher conductivity as a result of the overlapping of components like the Au electrodes.
