Abstract:<br>
<br>
</tt>Local descriptions are a cornerstone of theoretical
chemistry, providing a window to structure/function relationships
for the
physical properties of molecules. As new types of physical
measurements are
applied to single molecules, it becomes necessary to develop new
local
descriptions. In this talk I will present our work using a
description of local
currents to map which components of a molecule participate in
coherent electron
transport through molecules bound between metallic electrodes. I
will
illustrate the characteristic features in the local transmission for
a range of
commonly studied molecules, the features associated with destructive
quantum
interference and the way in which local currents can be used to
characterize
the transport in complex molecular structures.<br>
