Resumen
Direct measurement of single-molecule electrical transparency by break junction experiments has
become a major field of research over the two last decades. This review specifically and comprehensively
highlights the use of porphyrins as molecular components and discusses their potential use for the construction
of future devices. Throughout the review, the features provided by porphyrins, such as low level
misalignments and very low attenuation factors, are shown with numerous examples, illustrating the
potential and limitations of these molecular junctions, as well as differences emerging from applied integration/
investigation techniques.
