    Abstract

    Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we present electronic and magnetic properties of nanometallic homo-nuclear chromium-based molecular rings Cr9F9Cl2(O2C- C(CH3)3)17 recently synthesized. The magnetic moments are calculated, the spin density maps are discussed and the exchange interaction parameter is extracted. The complementary studies are carried out using the Falicov-Kimball model which reproduces very well the energy levels determined by different magnetic broken symmetry configurations obtained by DFT.
