). In this work, we propose a new approach in an attempt to reconcile the two traditional methods. Although some improvements were achieved, the main problems remain unsolved. Our results raise more general questions and doubts on a PDOS-based analysis of the conductance.

]. From this breakthrough work, it is now possible to quote the zero-bias conductance of some molecular junctions such as benzene-diamine (BDA) and benzene-dithiol (BDT) between gold leads. Nevertheless, important characterization uncertainties still persist. For instance, in these experiments, the

BDA molecular orbitals
In Figure 1, we show the molecular orbitals of BDA calculated with Methods 1 and 2. They are analogous to previously found MOs [41]. While the HOMO−1 molecular orbitals are very similar, the
