      abstract     = {Key to single-molecule electronics is connecting functional
                      molecules to each other using conductive nanowires. This
                      involves two issues: how to create conductive nanowires at
                      designated positions, and how to ensure chemical bonding
                      between the nanowires and functional molecules. Here, we
                      present a novel method that solves both issues. Relevant
                      functional molecules are placed on a self-assembled
                      monolayer of diacetylene compound. A probe tip of a scanning
                      tunneling microscope is then positioned on the molecular row
                      of the diacetylene compound to which the functional molecule
                      is adsorbed, and a conductive polydiacetylene nanowire is
                      fabricated by initiating chain polymerization by stimulation
                      with the tip. Since the front edge of chain polymerization
                      necessarily has a reactive chemical species, the created
                      polymer nanowire forms chemical bonding with an encountered
                      molecular element. We name this spontaneous reaction
                      "chemical soldering". First-principles theoretical
                      calculations are used to investigate the structures and
                      electronic properties of the connection. We demonstrate that
                      two conductive polymer nanowires are connected to a single
                      phthalocyanine molecule. A resonant tunneling diode formed
                      by this method is discussed.},
