AbstractWe report Ab Initio studies of the electric dipole polarizability of the linear polyacene series benzene through nonacene. A number of Ab Initio studies were done at different levels of theory for benzene, with all remaining Ab Initio calculations being at the B3LYP/6-311G(2d, 1p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2d, 1p) level of theory. We find that the NN tensor component shows a constant increment of 20 atomic units per ring. AM1 and QSAR-quality empirical calculations show poor absolute agreement with the Ab Initio results but given excellent statistical correlation coefficients with the Ab Initio values. This implies that the results of such cheaper calculations can be suitably scaled for predictive purposes.

The conformational stability and electronic structures of novel H 2-(1) and Zn-tetraphenylporphyrin–[60]fullerene (2) dyads, in which the [60]fullerene is directly linked to the tetrapyrrolic rings by ethynylenephenylene subunits, have been studied by ab initio and density functional theory calculations. From the investigation on frontier molecular orbitals, it was found that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital state of these supramolecules is localized on the fullerene and that the highest occupied molecular orbital state is localized on the porphyrin moiety. Molecular electrostatic potential maps clearly demonstrate the electron transfer phenomena from the porphyrin moiety to the fullerene in dyads 1 and 2.
