摘要

The alignment of molecular levels with the Fermi energy in single-molecule junctions is a crucial factor in determining their conductance or the observability of quantum interference effects. In the present study, which is based on density-functional theory calculations, we explore the zero-bias charge transfer and level alignment for nitro-bipyridyl-phenyl adsorbed between two gold surfaces which we find to vary significantly with the molecular conformation. The net charge transfer is the result of two opposing effects, namely, Pauli repulsion at the interface between the molecule and the leads, and the electron accepting nature of the NO_2 group, where only the latter which we analyze in terms of the electronegativity of the isolated molecules depends on the two intramolecular torsion angles. We provide evidence that the conformation dependence of the alignment of molecular levels and peaks in the transmission function can indeed be understood in terms of charge transfer for this system, and that other properties such as molecular dipoles do not play a significant role. Our study is relevant for device design in molecular electronics where nitrobenzene appears as a component in proposals for rectification, quantum interference, or chemical gating.
