Abstract
A theoretical study on the influence of organic functional groups on the electronic properties of graphene related carbon materials was carried out. Here we report, using density functional theory and tight-binding approach, that the best candidates for conducting supramolecular devices can be obtained by engineering the surface chemistry and stacking conformation of these materials.
