The Coulomb parameters are estimated from electronic structure calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). Of particular interest are phenylene ethynylene oligomers exhibiting electric-field controlled conductance switching. The charge transport properties are analyzed adopting a simplified two-site model accounting for Coulomb correlation effects. The Coulomb parameters are deduced from a population analysis. The DFT calculations employ a combination of the Becke’s three parameter adiabatic connection exchange functional (B3) with the Lee-Yang-Parr correlation one (LYP). The Kohn-Sham SCF equations are iteratively solved using the LANL2DZ basis set, for orbital expansion, on an "ultrafine" grid for numerical integration.
