Main group molecular electronics is an emerging area that investigates quantum transport through main group backbones within molecular junctions. It merges two rapidly advancing fields: main group chemical synthesis and single-molecule electronics. Though the current scope of quantum transport studies in main group molecules is much narrower than it is for organic molecules, they have led to major advances in single-molecule electronics, including the discovery of stereoelectronic switching, destructive σ-quantum interference, and intramolecular London dispersion interactions in single-molecule junctions. This review article provides an overview of this subfield and charts a path to the future of main group molecular electronics.
