For future molecular electronics applications the detailed knowledge about the electrical transport properties of single molecules is very important. To achieve this goal we are using the mechanical controllable break junction technique in liquid environments in combination with insulating substrates. We characterize the electrical conductance and I-V characteristics of single molecules which consist of three phenyl rings connected by triple carbon bonds with two oxygen sidegroups binding to the central ring. The I-V characteristics are further investigated by creating 2D histograms for hundreds of I-V curves and by fitting a single level model which provides us the metal-molecule junction coupling constants and the molecular energy level.
