We demonstrate that imidazole based π–π stacked dimers form strong and efficient conductance pathways in single-molecule junctions using the scanning-tunneling microscope-break junction (STM-BJ) technique and density functional theory-based calculations.

The mononuclear single-molecule magnet (SMM) [Dy(tta)3(L)]⋅C6H14 (1) (where tta− = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate and L = 4,5-bis(propylthio)-tetrathiafulvalene-2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole-methyl-2-pyridine) was studied by spectro-electrochemistry. The resulting electronic spectra of the three oxidation states 1, 1+∙, and 12+ were rationalized by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations starting from the DFT optimized structures. The modulation of the magnetic anisotropy of the DyIII center upon oxidation was also inspected at the Complete Active Space Self-Consistent Field (CASSCF) level of calculation.

The exchange coupling constants of a Mn14 complex constituted by two weakly coupled Mn7 moieties were calculated using two different density functional theory (DFT) approaches: the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) functional with a numerical basis set and the hybrid Becke, three-parameter Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) functional employed with a Gaussian basis set. The sign and relative strength of the exchange coupling constants calculated with both methods were consistent; as expected, the values calculated with the PBE functional were slightly overestimated, as corroborated by comparison with the experimental magnetic susceptibility curve. Both methods gave a ground spin configuration of S = 3/2 for the Mn7 moiety, which was weakly antiferromagnetically coupled with the other Mn7 fragment, leading to an S = 0 ground spin configuration for the entire Mn14 complex.
