Abstract
Concepts and experimental results related to molecular rectifiers and transistors are reviewed. 'Devices' based on donor-sigma bridge-accept or molecules. conjugated zwitterionic molecules, macrocyclic molecules , metal clusters, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes are discussed. Curre nt-voltage characteristics showing rectifier properties are presented, as well as experiments in which the current-voltage characteristics a re modulated by a gate voltage (transistor effect).
