INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) usage of the azulene compound to prepare single-molecule heterojunction or single-molecule field effect transistors, which involves (1) constructing graphene devices comprising source electrode, a drain electrode and a conductive channel containing graphene, (2) exposing with electron beam photoresist on graphene, using oxygen plasma etching, obtaining nano-gap between the source and drain electrodes. The nano-gap is perpendicular to the source and drain electrodes. (3) preparing monomolecular device by introducing the compound (I) through amide bond between the nano-gaps, and (4) evaluating the electrical properties of its switches through different gate voltages. The nano-gap is perpendicular to the source and drain electrodes; (2) single molecule field effect transistor, which comprises graphene array point electrode, molecular heterojunction electrode and ionic liquid. Grid is located on both sides of the graphene array dot electrode, there is no conductive contact with the graphene array point electrode. The molecular heterojunction and the graphene array dot electrode are connected with amide bonds in different countries. The ionic liquid covers the graphene array dot electrode and the grid and fills the channel between the graphene array dot electrode and the grid. The single-molecule heterojunction is obtained by self-assembly of one or more of compound (I); and (3) preparation of the single molecule field effect transistor, which involves (1) preparing graphene array electrodes, (2) introducing the grid near the graphene array electrode but not in the shop contact position, (3) constructing graphene nano-gap point electrodes, (4) contacting the compound (I) or nuclear weapons with the system obtained in step (3) for self-assembly, connecting the dot electrodes of the graphene array by amide bonds to obtain a molecular heterojunction, (5) adding ionic liquid to the point electrode and grid of the graphene array, making the ionic liquid cover the graphene array dot electrode and the grid, and filling the channel between the graphene array dot electrode and the grid.
