Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A new type of solid‐state molecular junction</bold> is introduced, which employs reduced graphene oxide as a transparent top contact that permits a self‐assembled molecular monolayer to be photoswitched in situ<italic>, </italic> while simultaneously enabling charge‐transport measurements across the molecules. The electrical switching behavior of a less‐studied molecular switch, dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene, is described, which is used as a test case. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36gx9h1v" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
