We systematically investigate the stability and electronic and magnetic properties of one-dimensional (1D) bimetallic organic sandwich molecular wires (BOSMWs), [CpTiCpTM]∞ (TM = Sc−Co, Cp = C5H5), [CpCrCpTM]∞ (TM = V, Mn, Co), and [CpFeCpTM]∞ (TM = Cr, Co), using ab initio methods. All the BOSMWs are highly stable due to mixed ionic−covalent bonding. With the exceptions of [CpTiCpV]∞, [CpTiCpMn]∞, and [CpCrCpV]∞ exhibiting antiferromagnetic behavior, all the other BOSMWs are ferromagnetic with tunable magnetic moments. In particular, magnetic moments of [CpTiCpCo]∞ and [CpCrCpMn]∞ can be as high as 5 μB per unit cell. Our calculations further show that [CpTiCpTM]∞ (TM = Cr, Fe), [CpCrCpTM]∞ (TM = Fe, Co), and [CpFeCpCo]∞ are robust half-metals (HMs) with large HM gaps. Most importantly, we identify an empirical valence electron filling rule for these BOSMWs, and a BOSMW is found to be a half-metallic ferromagnet whenever N − 5(10) = 5(7) (N is the sum of the valence electrons of two metal atoms).
