Electric conductivity of organic molecules was estimated with molecular resolution using self-assembled techniques and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Conjugated molecules of [1,1＇:4＇,1 "-terphenyl]-4-methanethiol (TP) were embedded in self-assembled monolayers of insulative n-alkanethiols, and when observed by STM, TP molecules appeared as protruding domains. The apparent height of the TP domains increases as the lateral size of the domains grows from 1 to 10 nm, reflecting the increase in the vertical conductance of the domains due to the lateral, intermolecular interaction. We assumed that the molecules are connected to each other with resistors for estimating the effect of intermolecular interaction on the conductance and calculated the height of conducting disks with various radii, which should roughly reproduce the size-dependent height of the TP domains observed by STM. The estimated resistance of the single TP molecule was less than 40 G Omega, and the effective lateral conductivity corresponding to the large TP domains was larger than 0.01 S/cm.
