单分子结是一种由单个分子桥接在金属电极之间的结，由于其独特的几何和电学性质而引起了人们的广泛关注。单分子结由于其在超小型单分子电子器件中的潜在应用也引起了人们的关注，其中单分子被用作有源电子元件。因此，制造单分子结以及理解和控制其性质（例如电导，光学和磁性）已成为科学家和工程师的长期目标。这篇综述文章的重点是单分子结的实验方面，主要集中在电子传输机制。
Single molecular junctions, in which a single molecule bridges between metal electrodes, have attracted wide attention as novel properties can appear due to their peculiar geometrical and electronic characters. The single molecular junction has also attracted attention due to its potential application in ultrasmall single molecular electronic devices, where single molecules are utilized as active electronic components. Thus, fabrication of single molecular junctions as well as understanding and controlling their properties (e.g. conductance, optical and magnetic properties) have become long-standing goals of scientists and engineers. This review article focuses on the experimental aspects of single molecular junctions, with primary focus on the electron transport mechanism.
