We studied the single-molecule conductance through an acid oxidant triggered phenothiazine (PTZ-) based radical junction using the mechanically controllable break junction technique.T he electrical conductance of the radical state was enhanced by up to 200 times compared to the neutral state,with high stability lasting for at least two months and high junction formation probability at room-temperature.T heoretical studies revealed that the conductance increase is due to asignificant decrease of the HOMO-LUMO gap and also the enhanced transmission close to the HOMO orbital when the radical forms.T he large conductance enhancement induced by the formation of the stable PTZ radical molecule will lead to promising applications in single-molecule electronics and spintronics.Investigations of charge transport through single molecules provide vital information for the design of materials for nextgeneration electronic devices. [1] Recently,a ll-organic radical species have raised broad interests as the unpaired electron can lead to novel quantum phenomena for tuning the electronics properties, [2] such as Kondo effects, [3] quantum interference [4] and magnetoresistive effects. [5] However, although some pioneering studies investigated the charge transport through radicals using molecular assemblies [5a, 6] or under ultrahigh vacuum and cryogenic environment, [3b,5b] the seeking of appropriate molecular radicals for the fabrication of stable and highly conductive single-molecule devices remained as amajor challenge for applying molecular radicals for future electronics devices.Thep henothiazine (PTZ) system can undergo oneelectron oxidation on the nitrogen atom to form ar adical cation (PTZ + C) [7] with accompanying significant color change in solution by adding acid oxidant such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) under ambient conditions.M ore interestingly,t he butterfly structure of the PTZ became more planar for the radical cation with electron density delocalized over the whole molecule including the central ring. [8] Such prominent changes in the electronic properties of the PTZ radicals have received increasing research interests in organic light-emitting diodes, [9] and also offer promising applications in the radical-based molecular electronics devices.Herein, we study the single-molecule conductance of aP TZ derivative and its corresponding radical cation using the mechanically controllable break junction (MCBJ) technique [10] in am ixed tetrahydrofuran/1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (THF/TMB,1:4 v/v)solution at room temperature,asshown in Scheme 1. Prominent conductance signals of both the PTZ derivative and its corresponding radical cation are observed with alarge conductance enhancement of up to 200 times for the radical state.T heoretical studies also reproduced the results that the radical state possesses as ignificantly higher electrical conductance compared with the neutral state because of significant electronic structural changes.ThePTZ derivative (10-Methyl-PTZ) named as PTZ-BT was designed and synthesized with...
