Electrical and structural properties of mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta-fluoroanilines as candidate monomers for new conducting polymers have been investigated using hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP/6–311+G**) based methods. The effects of the number and position of the fluorine atoms on the electrical and structural properties of fluoroanilines and their radical cations have also been investigated. The values of the vibrational frequencies, charge and spin-density distributions, ionization potentials, dipole moments, electric polarizabilities, HOMO-LUMO gaps, and the NICS values of these compounds have been calculated and analyzed as well. The results showed that the double bonds in 2-fluoroaniline and 2,5-difluoroaniline are more delocalized compared with other fluoroanilines; therefore, these molecules have the most aptitude for the electropolymerization reactions. The frequency analysis showed that the electrochemical stability of 2-fluoroaniline is greater than the other fluoroanilines. Also, this molecule possesses the largest NICS value compared to the other fluoroanilines. Consequently, 2-fluoroaniline has the largest ring current and the highest conductivity among all other monomers. Based on the results obtained, 2-fluoroaniline and 2,5-difluoroaniline are the best candidate monomers among all fluoroanilines for the synthesis of corresponding conducting polymers.

In this work, we have used a combination of vibrational spectroscopy (infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering) and periodic density functional theory to investigate the structure of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) in the liquid and solid states. The spectra clearly show that the hydrogen bonding is much stronger in the solid than the liquid state. The structure of MSA is not known; however, mineral acids typically adopt a chain structure in condensed phases. A periodic density functional theory (CASTEP) calculation based on the linear chain structure found in the closely related molecule trifluoromethanesulfonic acid gave good agreement between the observed and calculated spectra, particularly with regard to the methyl and sulfonate groups. The model accounts for the large widths of the asymmetric S-O stretch modes; however, the external mode region is not well described. Together, these observations suggest that the basic model of four molecules in the primitive unit cell, linked by hydrogen bonding into chains, is correct, but that MSA crystallizes in a different space group than that of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
