Abstract

The asymmetric heterometal string complexes [Cu₂Pt(npa)₄X₂] (X=Cl^-(1), NCS^-(2), npa=2-naphthyridyl- phenylamine) are suitable candidates for promising inorganic molecule rectifiers. The electronic structures and transmission properties of them were investigated by theoretical calculation using Density Function Theory BP86 and Non Equilibrium Green's Functions method. The results revealed that: (1) Since the interaction between axial ligand NCS^- and Cu atom is stronger than that of Cl-Cu, the Cu-Cu bond of complex 1 is stronger than that in 2, while its Cu-Pt bond is weaker than that in 2. Therefore, complex 1 has smaller energy gap ΔE between π^*_{Pt dxz/yz} and π^*_Cu-Cu orbital compared with that of 2. (2) The transmission channels of 1 and 2 both are β spin π^* orbitals, which are mainly combination of π^*_Cu-Cu and π^*_{Pt dxz/yz} orbital. The smaller ΔE, the larger delocalization of π^* channel, and hence the stronger transmission capacity. When the positive bias is less than 0.15 V and under negative bias, current of 1 is greater than that of 2 for the smaller ΔE of 1. However when the positive bias is larger than 0.15 V, current of 2 is significantly higher than that of 1 for the stronger delocalization of π^* channel in 2. (3) The complex 2 has better rectifying effect. With a larger ΔE, the transmission of Pt → Cu direction is easier and the rectifying effect is stronger. Current of 2 under the positive bias is significantly greater than that in negative bias. When the bias is larger than 0.15 V, the rectified ratio of 2 is 10～40 times larger than 1. (4) With the ΔE_β smaller than ΔE_α, the transmission capacity of α spin channel is less than β, and the effect of the spin filter will be stronger for the larger difference between ΔE_β and ΔE_α. Both 1 and 2 have significant spin filter effect (up to 80%～99%).

Key words: metal string complex, density function theory, non equilibrium green's functions, electronic transport, molecule rectifier
