The single-molecule conductance of metal complexes of the general forms trans-Ru(C CArC CY)(2)(dppe)(2) and trans-Pt(C C=CY)(2)(PPh3)(2) (Ar = 1,4-C6H2-2,5-(OC6H13)(2); Y = 4-C5H4N, 4-C6H4SMe) have been determined using the STM I(s) technique. The complexes display high conductance (Y = 4-C5H4N, M = Ru (0.4 +/- 0.18 nS), Pt (0.8 +/- 0.5 nS); Y = 4-C6H5SMe, M = Ru (1.4 +/- 0.4 nS), Pt (1.8 +/- 0.6 nS)) for molecular structures of ca. 3 nm in length, which has been attributed to transport processes arising from tunneling through the tails of LUMO states.
