Abstract
A model of the electron structure of a nanoobject comprising a stack of lea d phthalocyanine (PbPc) molecules with stacking faults is proposed. The res ults of the molecular orbital (MO) calculation indicate that a 0.6e charge is transferred from Pb atom to the Pc macrocycle ring and show that the nan ostructure can be considered as a metal-filled nanotube. The proposed model provides for the first time a quantitative interpretation of the electric switching effect previously observed in PbPc films. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka / Interperiodica".
