In the present work we simulate the transport properties and absorption spectra of the organic compound ethyl red. This is the first theoretical study of a specific pH indicator utilized as nano-device, based on first principle quantum mechanics calculations and a non-diffusive transport model. The charge distribution along the molecule is calculated via ab initio technique as a function of an external...
