“…In this interdisciplinary field, one of the key factors is the selection of functional molecules. These smallest building blocks provide the versatility in structural design and material selection to achieve specific electronic properties and functions . Therefore, the selection and synthesis of a series of functional molecules with controllable structures and rich properties is of great significance for the development of single-molecule optoelectronic devices.…”

Single-molecule techniques can reveal new fundamental physical and chemical effects of matters at the single-molecule scale, and build functional devices based on molecular properties to achieve specific optoelectronic functions. So far, various molecules have been introduced into single-molecule junctions to investigate their unique properties at the single-molecule scale. Among them, fullerene molecules, as a unique class of functional materials, provide infinite opportunities for fabricating various singlemolecule devices. The combination of fullerenes and single-molecule electronic techniques not only realizes the discovery of new principles and new properties at the single-molecule scale, but also leads to the functionalization of single-molecule devices. This perspective discusses the properties of single fullerene molecules, such as charge transport, spin, nanomechanics, thermoelectricity, etc., introduces prototype functional devices based on the properties of single fullerene molecules, and provides directions for further research in this field.
