Nanoscopic metal–molecule–metal junctions consisting of Fe‐bis(terpyridine)‐based ordered nanostructures grown in layer‐by‐layer fashion on a solid support are investigated by conductive atomic force microscopy, as described on page 1688 by P. Samorì, A. Licciardello, A. Troisi and co‐workers. Hopping is demonstrated as the main charge‐transport mechanism both experimentally and theoretically.
