Objective: The objective of this program is to demonstrate multifunctional single molecule devices, whose transfer characteristics are tailorable, dynamic, and complex, beyond the scope of conventional solid state devices. The transformative aspect of the program is to realize the motivation of the field of molecular electronic devices - the ability to tune device function by chemical design and synthesis, which will elucidate long-standing issues in molecular electronic device operation and design. Intellectual merit:The intellectual merit of the program is to proposal lay a solid foundation to the fundamental understanding of molecular device function by chemical design and synthesis. This will lead to the design molecular devices by rational design, and the development of multifunctional single molecule devices. This transformative approach offers vast possibilities for technological development based on the diverse electronic functions of the component molecules, tailored by chemical design and synthesis.Broader impacts:The broader impacts of the program are to advance discovery of the molecular electronics field while training graduate students and involving undergraduates in a multidisciplinary project at the intersection of engineering, physics, and chemistry. The program will implement an integrative research and education environment through a Summer Outreach Program designed to involve undergraduates and graduates from other institutions, through a well-established Yale-New Haven partnership in education program called the Yale-New Haven Teachers institute (YNHTI), that educates high school teachers through monthly seminars during the summer, and to institute a new program that will actively recruits K-12 students for summer research experiences.

目的：该计划的目的是展示多功能单分子器件，其传输特性是可定制的，动态的和复杂的，超出了传统固态器件的范围。 该计划的变革方面是实现分子电子器件领域的动机-通过化学设计和合成调整器件功能的能力，这将阐明分子电子器件操作和设计中的长期问题。 智力价值：该计划的智力价值是通过化学设计和合成为分子器件功能的基本理解奠定坚实的基础。 这将导致分子器件的合理设计，以及多功能单分子器件的发展。这种变革性的方法提供了巨大的可能性，技术发展的基础上，不同的电子功能的组成分子，定制的化学设计和合成。更广泛的影响：该计划的更广泛的影响是推进发现的分子电子学领域，同时培养研究生和本科生参与一个多学科的项目，在工程，物理和化学的交叉。 该计划将通过一个旨在让其他机构的本科生和毕业生参与的暑期外展计划，通过一个名为耶鲁-纽黑文教师研究所（YNHTI）的教育计划中建立良好的耶鲁-纽黑文合作伙伴关系，实施一个综合性的研究和教育环境，该计划通过夏季每月的研讨会教育高中教师，并建立一个新的计划，将积极招募K-12学生的夏季研究经验。
