In this study, an organic conjugated molecule, 4,40 -[ethane-1,2-diylidenedi(nitrilo)] dibenzenthiol designed and is proposed as a molecular wire. Structural and electronic responses of this aromatic molecular wire to the static electric field with intensities -1.6 9 10-2 to ?1.6 9 10-2 a.u., are studied using the DFT-B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. Natural bond orbital atomic charge analysis shows that the imposition of static external electric field induces polarization—localization of charge on the two ends of molecule, especially on considered terminal contact sulfur atoms. The frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) energy levels including the highest occupied MO (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied MO (LUMO) and the HOMO–LUMO gap (HLG) values are modified by the static electric field as well. The electric dipole moment and polarizability of the proposed molecular wire under the studied electric field strengths are considerably increased. The current–voltage characteristic curve is estimated for the proposed molecular wire
