Abstract
This thesis continues the study into the synthesis and analysis of metal poly - yndiyl complexes. These molecules have shown promise as model molecular wires. The study provides a general overview of the interest in carbon based molecules and introduces the need for molecular electronics. Some of the most promising classes of molecular wires are described before outlining the methods of evaluation.
