Our recently proposed theoretical formulation based on Bethe–Salpeter G(0)W(0) methodology is applied here to explore the quasiparticle and optical spectra of anthracene (C(14)H10) placed close to a metallic surface. Special attention is paid to explore how the energy shift and decay width of the low-lying anthracene bright excitons p, α and β depend on the type of the adjacent surface (describ...

Gold nanoclusters have the tunable optical absorption property, and are promising for cancer cell imaging, photothermal therapy and radiotherapy. First-principle is a very powerful tool for design of novel materials. In the present work, structural properties, band gap engineering and tunable optical properties of Ag-doped gold clusters have been calculated using density functional theory. The ...

The morpholinium cation based ionic liquids are designed to evaluate the thermophysical, chemical reactivity, and biological activity. To estimate and design the bioactive ILs, propionate and trihalopropanoate were considered under theoretical study by Density Functional Theory (DFT). To make effect of halogens atom on anion, propionate, trifluro propionate, trichloro propionate, and tribromo p...

The research in new organic π-conjugated molecules with specific properties has become one of the most interesting topics in fields of materials chemistry. These materials are promising for optoelectronic device technology such as solar cells. On the other hand, the use of low band gap materials is a viable method for better harvesting of the solar spectrum and increasing its efficiency. The co...

As cancer is the top killer diseases in the world, the scientists and researchers have been searching the new drugs and remedy methods. Most of the anticancer drugs are organic compounds which were approved by the FDA while metallodrugs are very rare. In the present time, some palladium and rhodium complexes are going to use as anticancer molecules. The palladium (II) complex has higher antican...

The energy position of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) in 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and dimethyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxilic diimide (DiMePTCDI) was determined by investigating the energy level alignment at molecular semiconductor/GaAs(100) interfaces. Interface dipoles are found to form at the interfaces of both organic materials and consequently...

Bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) play an important role as light harvesters in photosynthetic bacteria. Interestingly, bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) a, b, and g selectively tune their visible (Qx) and near IR (Qy) absorption bands by the substituent changes. In this paper, we theoretically study the mechanism for the selective control of the absorption bands. Density functional theory (DFT) and time...

We propose a series of icosahedral matryoshka clusters of A@B12@A20 (A = Sn, Pb; B = Mg, Zn, Cd), which possess large HOMO-LUMO gaps (1.29 to 1.54 eV) and low formation energies (0.06 to 0.21 eV/atom). A global minimum search using a genetic algorithm and density functional theory calculations confirms that such onion-like three-shell structures are the ground states for these A21B12 binary clu...

The FT-IR (4000-400 cm) and FTRaman (4000-100 cm) spectra of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (2Cl4NA) have been recorded using Bruker IFS 66 V spectrometer. An ab initio HF(HF/6-311G(d,p) and DFT(B3LYP/6-311G(d,p)) calculations have been performed giving energies, optimized structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies,IR intensities and Raman activities. The study is extended to the HOMO LUMO analysis ...
