| contents | The electronic and thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions formed from iron and ruthenium metal-acetylide were studied using complementary experimental techniques and quantum chemical simulations. We performed physical characterizations of single-molecule and self-assembled monolayer junctions of the same molecules that allowed meaningful comparisons between the Ru and Fe adducts. In the case of the Fe-containing junctions, two distinct oxidation states are present. These junctions exhibit one of the highest Seebeck coefficients (S ca. 130 μV/K) reported to date for similar systems paired with broad electric conductance distribution and limited thermal conductance. As a result, the experimental thermoelectric figure of merit ZT for Fe-containing junctions reaches up to 0.4 for junctions with relatively high conductance. This is one of the highest ZT values reported for molecular systems at room temperature. |
