Porphyrin molecules can form stable single molecule junctions without anchoring groups. Adding thiol end groups and pyridine axial groups yields more stable junctions with an increased spread in low-bias conductance. This is a result of different bridging geometries during breaking, the stability of which is demonstrated in time-dependent conductance measurements. This is in strong contrast with rod like molecules which show one preferential binding geometry.
