• draw the larger systems with one cross-conjugated unit up and one down there would be no difference in the Hamiltonian if we instead wanted to model the system where both units were pointing in the same direction. The transmission spectra of the 1cc, 2cc and 2ccs junctions are shown in Figure 3

• the transport. The transmission spectra through the π-orbitals of 1cc, 2cc and 2ccs based junctions calculated by using the MDE many-body theory (using the Hamiltonian of Equation 10) are shown in Figure 9, and no supernodes are observed. Qualitatively, the splitting of the central supernode in the

The transmission minima (indicating the LSPR excitation) overlap with the absorption and emission spectra differently. (B) The detected fluorescence intensity is normalized with respect to the
