The conductivity through two self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold based on the closed‐and open‐shell form of a polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) derivative were investigated using 3D‐mode conductive scanning force microscopy, and striking differences were observed, caused by their highly distinct electronic structure.
