Theoretical Study on the Difference in Electron Conductivity of a One-Dimensional Penta-Nickel(II) Complex between Anti-Ferromagnetic and Ferromagnetic States—Possibility of Molecular Switch with Open-Shell Molecules

The electron conductivity of an extended metal atom chain (EMAC) that consisted of penta-nickel(II) ions bridged by oligo-α-pyridylamino ligands was examined by density functional theory (DFT) and elastic scattering Green’s functions (ESGF) calculations. The calculated results rev...
