Our research work on Zn Porphyrin Molecular Junctions was just published!
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsami.5b02449

We report bistability in current-voltage curves from di(PEP)PorZn in an electromigrated molecular junction. Bistability was observed at ±0.3 V at 300 K, but did not occur at 4 K. No bistability was identified at 300 K for another porphyrin molecule (di(Xyl)PorZn) where the phenyl-ethnyl-phenyl (PEP)…
