Both simulations have demonstrated that the electrical conductance for eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be modulated by varying the number of aromatic rings (NAR) within the aromatic derivatives. TBM simulations reveal three distinct conductance states: low, medium and high for the studied PAH derivatives. The three distinct conductance states suggested by TBM are supported by DFT transmission curves, where the low conductance evidenced by\n            <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>\n            (\n            <jats:italic>E<\/jats:italic>\n            ) = 0, for benzene, naphthalene, pyrene and anthracene.
