We present a review of recent results on the non-linear transport properties of single molecules using density-functional theory. In particular, we investigate the role of contact chemistry and geometry, current-induced forces, and polarization effects induced by a gate field on the current-voltage characteristics of molecules for which experiments are available. The results show that single molecules, if appropriately tailored, have physical properties that could be useful in electronic applications. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
