Abstract
In this review the emerging science of single molecules is discussed in the perspective of nanoscale molecular functions and devices. New methods for the controlled assembly of well-defined molecular nanostructures are pre- sented: self assembly and single molecular positioning. The observation and selective modification of conformation, electronics, and molecular mechanics of individual molecules and molecular assemblies by scanning probes is dem- onstrated. To complement this scientific review, some of the possible conse- quences and visions for future developments are discussed, as far as they derive from the presented systems. The prospects of nanoscale science to stim- ulate technological evolution are exemplified.
