Charge‐carrier transport through an individually contacted bipyridyl‐dinitro oligophenylene‐ethynylene dithiol molecule (BPDN‐DT, see picture) and through a BP‐DT molecule was studied using the mechanically controllable break‐junction technique. BPDN‐DT exhibits a voltage‐induced switching between two distinct conductive states, in contrast to BP‐DT.
