The switching induced by the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) current of an adsorbed hydrogen molecule in the cavity of a naphthalocyanine molecule between two perpendicular orientations is studied. We regard such a system as a good candidate for a molecular size electronic logic gate since it ca...
