官能团对分子结中电荷输运的影响

Influence of Functional Groups on Charge Transport in Molecular Junctions

D. J. Mowbray, G. Jones, K. S. Thygesen

摘要:

利用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了NO2、OCH 3、CH 3、CCl 3和I等5类官能团对1,4-苯二硫醇盐(BDT)和1,4-苯二胺(BDA)分子与金电极形成的结的输运性质的影响.我们的分析展示了来自官能团化学的想法如何可用于工程化分子的传输性质,如实验所示并使用BDA的半经验模型[Nano Lett. 7,502(2007)]。特别是,我们表明,由于一个给定的官能团的电导的定性变化可以预测从其已知的电子效应(无论是π/西格玛捐赠/撤回)。然而,官能团对分子电导的影响非常微弱,正如在BDA实验中所发现的那样。BDA物种的DFT计算电导比实验值大5倍,但在校正自相互作用和图像电荷效应后,得到了良好的一致性。

英文摘要:

Using density functional theory (DFT), we analyze the influence of five classes of functional groups, as exemplified by NO2, OCH3, CH3, CCl3, and I, on the transport properties of a 1,4-benzenedithiolate (BDT) and 1,4-benzenediamine (BDA) molecular junction with gold electrodes. Our analysis demonstrates how ideas from functional group chemistry may be used to engineer a molecule's transport properties, as was shown experimentally and using a semiempirical model for BDA [Nano Lett. 7, 502 (2007)]. In particular, we show that the qualitative change in conductance due to a given functional group can be predicted from its known electronic effect (whether it is pi/sigma donating/withdrawing). However, the influence of functional groups on a molecule's conductance is very weak, as was also found in the BDA experiments. The calculated DFT conductances for the BDA species are five times larger than the experimental values, but good agreement is obtained after correcting for self-interaction and image charge effects.
