Novel five organic donor-π-acceptor molecules (D-π-A) used for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and for organic solar cells (OSC), based on thienopyrazine and thiophene were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and timedependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches to shed light on how the π-conjugation order influence the performance of the solar cells. The electron acceptor (anchoring) group was 2...

A thiophene-based tripodal copper(II) complex has been synthesized as a new colorimetric and optical chemosensor for naked-eye discrimination of halides in acetonitrile and an acetonitrile-water mixture. The binding interactions of the new receptor with several anions were analyzed by UV-Vis titrations, electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) experiments and density functional theor...

To understand the importance of the organic material of type donor-π-acceptor dyes (D-π-A), used for dyesensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we present in this paper the result of six compounds based on thienopyrazine (D1-D6) studied by density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches to shed light on how the π-conjugation order influence the performance of the dyes. The el...

Time-dependent configuration interaction (TD-CI) simulations can be used to simulate molecules in intense laser fields. TD-CI calculations use the excitation energies and transition dipoles calculated in the absence of a field. The EOM-CCSD method provides a good estimate of the field-free excited states but is rather expensive. Linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) ...

We perform benchmark calculations of the Bethe-Salpeter vertical excitation energies for the set of 28 molecules constituting the well-known Thiel’s set, complemented by a series of small molecules representative of the dye chemistry field. We show that Bethe-Salpeter calculations based on a molecular orbital energy spectrum obtained with non-self-consistent G0W0 calculations starting from semi...

BACKGROUND Novel six organic donor-π-acceptor molecules (D-π-A) used for Bulk Heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ), based on thienopyrazine were studied by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches, to shed light on how the π-conjugation order influence the performance of the solar cells. The electron acceptor group was 2-cyanoacrylic for all compounds, wher...

A series of three donor molecules (DPP-B, DPP-N and DPP-P) based on diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) sharing the similar backbone D-π-A-π-D have been investigated. In these molecules, substituents such as pyrene, naphthalene benzene act electron donating end groups, DPP central core unit thiophene has used a bridge between acceptor fragments. Theoretical calculations carried out with help density fun...

The electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of seven recently reported rhenium(i) phenanthroline complexes were investigated theoretically by density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. All the seven complexes are shown here to be better electron transport materials with high quantum efficiency in OLED devices due to their high electr...
