Popis: 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 revealed that an intramolecular ferromagnetic (FM) coupling state showed a higher conductivity in comparison with an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) coupling state. The present results suggest the potential of the complex as a molecular switch as well as a molecular wire.
