The electrical properties of ferrocene‐alkanethiolate molecular devices on both rigid and flexible substrates are studied on page 2472 by D. Xiang, T. Lee, and team. A distinctive temperature dependence of the current (i.e., a decrease in current as temperature increases) upon an applied bias polarity is observed, which is associated with the redox of ferrocene groups in the junctions. The flexible molecular devices function consistently under various mechanical stress configurations.
