A molecular wire L adsorbed and providing electronic coupling between two metallic clusters A and B. Injecting one electron on A = (M1)n will trigger an ET process guided by L between the state A––L–B and A–L–B– with B = (M2)n. This process can be followed in time by using the electron detector N(t) before it stops because of decoherence and relaxation effects at the interface, on the molecule, and in the A and B clusters.
