  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013302",
  "term": "Molecular wires",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Linear, chain-like molecules or molecular assemblies designed to conduct electrical current from one end to the other. These structures consist of a repeating series of conjugated chemical units that provide a delocalized electron system, facilitating charge transport along the molecular backbone. Their conductivity is highly dependent on the chemical structure, length, and the nature of the contact with the electrodes.",
