摘要：
Macroscopic and nanoscopic current-voltage measurements reveal asymmetries in the DC electrical conductivity through Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers and even monolayers of gamma-(n-hexadecyl)quinolinum tricyano-quinodimethanide, C(16)H(33)Q-3CNQ (5) These asymmetries are due to a transition of the ground-state zwitterion to an excited-state conformer which is probably neutral. Unimolecular electrical rectification by monolayers of 5 is unequivocally confirmed.
