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.

Estudo do transporte eletrônico em nanoestruturas baseadas em carotenoides e tétrades com fulereno C60
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-04-09) ALEIXO, Vicente Ferrer Pureza; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
In this work it is presented a theoretical study on the electronic structure of a fullerene molecule (C60) with junctions in four terminals based on groups electron donors. tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) – and groups acceptors of electrons – fenilpropanodinilla (FPP) and molecular devices based on Carotenoid derivatives. The transport mechanism investigated for the carotenoids derivatives were utilized for better understanding of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) and Millikan-Lauritsen (ML) plots for the systems based in fullerene C60. In all cases it was possible to confirm that the Millikan- Lauritsen (ML) analysis empirical is also sufficient to describe all aspects the transition voltage spectroscopy (TVS). To study this class of systems, optimize the geometry systematically and observe the electronic transfer calculated by Hartree-Fock and Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results show through a detailed analysis of the molecular charge rearrangement due to an external electric field shows that the charge transport is directly on to the type of junction that this system is submitted of form that the applied voltage suffices to create a saturation potential in the systems in study: fullerene C60 with three terminals of tetrathiafulvalene and one terminal of fenilpropanodinilla (C60-(TTF)3-FPP); fullerene C60 with four terminals of fenilpropanodinilla (C60-(FPP)4). The particularity observed in C60-(FPP)4 is the disposal of the structure to operate with rectifying character for the electronic transport in the presence of orthogonal electric field to terminal data. The results show that we have a Molecular rectifier that works as a macroscopic rectifier.

Simulação de transporte eletrônico em dispositivos unimoleculares baseados em indicadores de pH
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-02-03) GRANHEN, Ewerton Ramos; DEL NERO, Jordan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5168545718455899
In recent decades, several researchers have tried employ molecules in electronic devices of nanoscale. For this reason, different electro / optical parameters, governing the electronic transport in organic molecules, need to be analyzed. In this work was developed a charge transport study to the composed propyl red, popularly used as pH indicator. The motivation to study it results from its structure formed of donor-acceptor subunits, coupled via azo group (N = N), a well known feature in molecular rectifiers. The methodology used to treat the system in equilibrium is based on Molecular Mechanics and Hartree-Fock methods. However, another method, based on the Landauer-Büttiker formalism, to non-equilibrium system was employed. Through these methods, the feature curves of molecular system were drawn and compared. The result of comparison lowed explain the phenomena that govern the electronic transport in nanostructure. Besides that, was analyzed the effects of metal contacts, connected on molecules in presence of external electric field.
