This paper applies statistical methods to analyze the large, noisy data sets produced in measurements of tunneling current density through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in large-area junctions and recommends statistical methods that distinguish between real data and artifacts, subject to the assumption that real data (J) are independent and log-normally distributed.

The Rate of Charge Tunneling through Self-Assembled Monolayers Is Insensitive to Many Functional Group Substitutions
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 51(19), 4658–4661.
Contributors: H. Yoon *, N. Shapiro*, K. Park *, * , S. Soh * & G. Whitesides *
author keywords: charge transport; molecular electronics; monolayers; tunnel junctions
MeSH headings : Alloys / chemistry; Electrodes; Electronics; Gallium / chemistry; Indium / chemistry; Silver / chemistry
TL;DR:
Tuning rates through SAMs of molecules with a variety of molecular structures including aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic moieties are described, demonstrating that the rate of charge transport across these self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is surprisingly insensitive to changes in the structure of the organic molecules of which they are composed.

The SAM, Not the Electrodes, Dominates Charge Transport in Metal-Monolayer//Ga2O3/Gallium-Indium Eutectic Junctions
Acs Nano, 6(6), 4806–4822.
Contributors: W. Reus*, * , N. Shapiro*, C. Nijhuis * & G. Whitesides *
author keywords: molecular electronics; self-assembled monolayers; molecular rectification; junctions; charge transport
MeSH headings : Electric Conductivity; Electron Transport; Equipment Design; Equipment Failure Analysis; Gallium / chemistry; Hardness; Indium / chemistry; Materials Testing; Membranes, Artificial; Microelectrodes; Molecular Conformation; Solutions; Surface Properties
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the structure of the SAM dominates charge transport through Ag(TS)-SAM//Ga(2)O(3)/EGaIn junctions, and that the electrical characteristics of the Ga( 2)O (3) film have a negligible effect on these measurements.

Odd-Even Effects in Charge Transport across Self-Assembled Monolayers
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 133(9), 2962–2975.
Contributors: * , W. Reus*, C. Nijhuis *, J. Barber*, C. Kim *, M. Schulz *, G. Whitesides *
TL;DR:
The observed difference in charge transport between n-alkanethiols with odd and even numbers of methylenes--the "odd-even effect"--is statistically discernible using these junctions and demonstrates that this technique is sensitive to small differences in the structure and properties of the SAM.

TL;DR:
By controlling the polarity of reagents their reactivity can be controlled owing to the properties of polydimethylsiloxane rather than those of the Grubbs' catalysts, which has been shown to add new selectivities to mature catalysts.
