Single-molecule conductance of a B-N substituted phenanthrene derivative and its isoelectronic C═C counterpart was investigated by the scanning tunneling microscopy break junction (STM-BJ) technique. The incorporation of the B-N motif results in a better single-molecule conductivity than the C═C analogue. Furthermore, the Lewis acid-base reaction between F- and the B atom of the B-N motif leads to a decrease of the conductance of the BN derivative, which can be understood due to the shifting of the energy positions of the LUMO, as
