Abstract
Nanotechnology crucially depends on new molecular-scale materials with tunable properties. In molecular electronics, building blocks have been reduced to single molecules, while connectors have largely remained at the mesoscopic scale. As a result, the behaviour of such devices is largely governed by interface effects and hence, currently, attention is focused on finding suitable molecular-scale alternatives. In this paper we discuss a new generation of one-dimensional inorganic
