Abstract

TD-DFT calculations predict a linear dependence of the energies of charge transfer states of Agn–pyrazine–Agn molecular junctions on the inverse of the size (1/n) of the linear metal chains. The density of charge (qeff = q/n) in the metal-to-metal charge transfer excited states (CTMM: Agnq–pyrazine–Agn−q) smoothly tunes the electronic structure of the junction, especially the metal-to-molecule charge transfer states (CT0 and CT1) and the first excited singlet of pyrazine (S1,Pz). In enlarged junctions, pyrazine bonds preferably to one of the Agn clusters and this weak adsorption produces a significant unexpected asymmetry for forward and reverse charge transfer processes.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
