Abstract

textcopyright 2018 American Chemical Society. The 9-(Z)-configuration was exclusively obtained in the carotenoid polyene chain irrespective of olefination and disconnection methods for terminal ortho-unsubstituted benzene rings. The 2,6-dimethyl substituents in the terminal rings secure an all-(E)-polyene structure. The single molecular conductance of the pure 9-(Z)-carotene was measured for the first time to be 1.53 × 10 -4 ± 6.37 × 10 -5 G 0 , whose value was 47% that of the all-(E)-carotene ((3.23 × 10 -4 ) ± (1.23 × 10 -4 ) G 0 ).
