Making contact to a quantum dot : Single quantum‐dot electronic circuits are fabricated by wiring atomically precise metal chalcogenide clusters with conjugated molecular connectors. These wired clusters can couple electronically to nanoscale electrodes and be tuned to control the charge‐transfer characteristics (see picture).
