in this paper, the structural properties of c20 and c12b8 fullerene interacting with glycine based onthree active sites of glycine and one c atom or one b atom in c12b8 were analyzed through thedensity functional theory. it was found out that the binding of glycine to c12b8 generated a complex.our results were extremely relevant in order to identify the potential applications of functionalizedc...

This paper reports novel pyrazine-acenes containing electron-deficient heteroaromatic π-extenders, such as pyridine, pyrazine, and benzothiadiazole, directly fused with pyrazine. Electronic properties of these systems were characterized by UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Computational electronic property evaluation of all experimentally synthesized compounds is provid...

Quantum mechanical calculations have been carried out to determine the structural and electronic properties of the electron donor-acceptor complexes of C60 and C70 with azulene and some of its derivative, viz, 1,3-dichloroazulene, 2-hydroxyazulene and 4,6,8-trimetrhyl azulene. The molecules studied are optimized first with semi-empirical molecular orbital theory at the third parametric level, a...

This article reports the design and synthesis of donor-substituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical benzothiadiazoles (BTDs) of 5-12 type D-π-A-D, D1-π-A-D2, D1-A1-A2-D2, D-A1-A2-D and D-A1-A2-A1-D by Ullmann, Suzuki and cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization reactions. The photophysical, electrochemical and computational properties were studied and show substantial donor-acceptor interaction. Thei...

in this work, the effects of as-doped on the adsorption of oxygen gas on the outer and inner surface ofboron nitride nanotube (bnnts) is investigated. the structural parameters, quantum properties involving:bond length, bond angle, homo-lumo orbital, gapenergy, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemicalpotential, global hardness, global softness and nmr parameters of bnnts are calculated at...

Charge transport is studied in single-molecule junctions formed with a 1,7-pyrrolidine-substituted 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) molecular block using an electrochemical gate. Compared to an unsubstituted-PTCDI block, spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements indicate a reduction in the highest occupied (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied (LUMO) molecular orbital energy gap associa...

Using photoelectron spectroscopy and first principles molecular orbital calculations, we report the first observation of an abrupt change in the electronic structure of W4O m (m6 6) clusters at m 1⁄4 5 which is well below the bulk stoichiometric composition of tungsten oxide (WO3). The signature of this onset is established from an anomalous increase in the vertical detachment energies (VDE), a...

In this study, reactions of the simple cycloalkynes with substituted Nitrile Oxides, by DFT method will be discussed. The investigation of the structural properties, theoretical thermodynamic and kinetic data, i.e., the activation free energies(DG*), the free energies changes of reaction(DrG) and rate constants of the reactions (k) in 298 K and effects of Electron-withdrawing and...

Interfacial electron transfer dynamics of a series of photosensitizers bound to TiO2via linkers of varying conjugation strength are explored by spectroscopic and computational techniques. Injection and recombination depend on the extent of conjugation in the linker, where the LUMO delocalization determines the injection dynamics but both the HOMO and HOMO-1 are involved in recombination.
