520 |a Incorporating inorganic components into organic molecular devices offers one novel alternative to address challenges existing in the fabrication and integration of nanoscale devices. In this study, using a theoretical method of density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green's function, a series of benzene-based molecules with group III and V substitutions, including borazine molecule and XnB3-nN3H6 (X = Al or Ga, n = 1-3) molecules/clusters, are constructed and investigated. An analysis of electronic structures reveals that the introduction of inorganic components effectively reduces the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, albeit at the cost of reduced aromaticity in these molecules/clusters. Simulated electronic transport characteristics demonstrate that XnB3-nN3H6 molecules/clusters coupled between metal electrodes exhibit lower conductance compared to prototypical benzene molecule. Additionally, the choice of metal electrode materials significantly impacts the electronic transport properties, with platinum electrode devices displaying distinct behavior compared to silver, copper, and gold electrode devices. This distinction arises from the amount of transferred charge, which modulates the alignment between molecular orbitals and the Fermi level of the metal electrodes by shifting the molecular orbitals in energy. These findings provide valuable theoretical insights for the future design of molecular devices incorporating inorganic substitutions
