      abstract     = {The performance of nanoelectronic and molecular electronic
                      devices relies strongly on the employed functional units and
                      their addressability, which is often a matter of appropriate
                      interfaces and device design. Here, we compare two promising
                      designs to build solid-state electronic devices utilizing
                      the same functional unit. Optically addressable
                      Ru-terpyridine complexes were incorporated in supramolecular
                      wires or employed as ligands of gold nanoparticles and
                      contacted by nanoelectrodes. The resulting small-area
                      nanodevices were thoroughly electrically characterized as a
                      function of temperature and light exposure. Differences in
                      the resulting device conductance could be attributed to the
                      device design and the respective transport mechanism, that
                      is, thermally activated hopping conduction in the case of
                      Ru-terpyridine wire devices or sequential tunneling in
                      nanoparticle-based devices. Furthermore, the conductance
                      switching of nanoparticle-based devices upon 530 nm
                      irradiation was attributed to plasmon-induced
                      metal-to-ligand charge transfer in the Ru-terpyridine
                      complexes used as switching ligands. Finally, our results
                      reveal a superior device performance of nanoparticle-based
                      devices compared to molecular wire devices based on
                      Ru-terpyridine complexes as functional units.},
