An external electric field parallel to the IRCC linker(s) reduces k while the field vertical to the molecular plane does the opposite. This anisotropic character can be modulated by introducing inter-ring noncovalent locks into appropriate sites.Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistrytransporttransistorsoligomerstext::journal::journal article::research article
