If design principles for controlling quantum interference in single molecules could be elucidated and verified, then this will lay the foundations for exploiting such effects in nanoscale devices and thin-film materials. In this talk I will discuss that a simple, parameter-free, analytic theory of interference patterns evaluated at the mid-point of the HOMO–LUMO gap (referred to as M-functions) correctly predicts conductance ratios of molecules with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons hearts. M-functions also provide new design strategies for identifying molecules with phase-coherent logic functions and efficient molecular thermoelectric devices.
