The Role of Quadruple Bonding in the Electron Transport through a Dimolybdenum Tetraacetate Molecule

A dimolybdenum tetraacetate (Mo2(O2CCH3)4) molecule is embedded between two electrodes formed by semi-infinite 1D monatomic chains of lithium, aluminum, and titanium atoms. Electron transport through the Mo2(O2CCH3)4 molecule is calculated. The role of quadrupole bonding in the transport properties of the studied systems is analyzed.
