In this work we present a theoretical study on the electronic structure of a molecule of
the type Donor- dinitrobenzene and a group Acceptor- dihydrophenazine (D-A) with
polienic bridges varying of π = 0 to the π = 10. It’s a promising system for construct
molecular rectifiers that under chemical to dope can come to acquire electric properties
of conductive material. It is still, under action of external electric field it presents
equivalent behavior to the of usual devices, with countless advantages, for instance,
extremely reduced size and intense optical response in a non-linear regime. To study
this class of system, we optimize the geometry systematically, performing ZINDO/S-CI
(Zerner´s Intermediate Neglect of Differential Orbital/Spectroscopic – Configuration
Interaction Single) calculations and using 220 configurations as average. We observe
the electronic transfer calculated by Hartree-Fock. Our results show a well defined
localization of the Boundary Molecular Orbitals (BMOs) HOMO [LUMO] at the D [A]
groups for large polienic bridges. The opposite is verified for small bridges and
uniformity is observed for the BMOs in the DA terminals. This would indicate that only
large polienic bridges work for devices using the LUMO as conduction channel. A
detailed analysis of the molecular charge rearrangement due to an external electric
field shows that the charge transport at the D [A] group is bridge size independent. An
applied voltage suffices to create a saturation potential for this system with too close DA
groups (presenting a saturation and an operation region to systems with small
bridges), usually present in systems with relatively large molecular bridge and in
macroscopic semiconductors devices. We believe that the LUMO play an important
role in the charge transfer at relatively large structures, in addition to fails in molecular
structures where the D group is too closer to A. Our results show that we have a
Molecular rectifier that works as a macroscopic rectifier. |
