Experimental and theoretical studies of the electronic transport of an extended curcuminoid in graphene nano-junctions.

Exploiting the potential of curcuminoids (CCMoids) as molecular platforms, a new 3.53 nm extended system (pyACCMoid, 2) has been designed in two steps by reacting a CCMoid with amino-terminal groups (NH-CCMoid, 1, of 1.79 nm length) with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) aldehydes.
