Abstract
We present a novel approach in an effort to perform electrical measure ments at the level of a single molecule. A mechanical controllable bre ak junction is utilized in combination with a molecular deposition tec hnique in fluid to obtain the system: metal-molecule-metal. The I-V cu rve of this system shows pronounced features over a large voltage scal e.
