The Relationship

The relationship between molecular geometries, crystal structures and charge mobilities of hexathiapentacene (HTP) and its three derivatives (2Se-HTP, 4Se-HTP, 6Se-HTP) were studied with density functional theory combined with hopping mechanism in the molecular and crystal level. The effect of Se substitution on the charge mobility was discussed. The calculated results showed that the derivatives exhibit good planarity and the molecular geometries have little variation during the charge transfer process. The electron mobility is 1.20 cm2 V?1 S?1 for HTP and 2.30 cm2 V?1 S?1 for 6Se-HTP, which are much larger than the corresponding hole ones, indicating that HTP and 6Se-HTP are good candidates for n-type organic semiconductor. However, 2Se-HTP and 4Se-HTP have comparable hole and electron mobilities and are suitable for ambipolar semiconductor.

First Excited State

The charge transfer and structural distortions that occurred in the complex CpRh(CO)2 upon excitation with an light irradiation were studied by density functional theory (DFT). The calculations showed that the electrons transferred from Cp to CO ligands with the transition of CpRh(CO)2 from ground state to the first excited state. Accompanying with this transfer process, CpM(CO)2 became distorted and the linear bond of M-CO became bent upon excitation. The second excitation is the strongest excitation which is identified to be metal to ligand CO charge transfer (MLCT) excitations. We also found the lowest excited state has little effect for the M-CO bond photoactivation while the photodissociation of CO from CpM(CO)2 can be achieved in the second excited state.

Donor And Acceptor

Weak interactions between organic donor and acceptor molecules resulting in cofacially-stacked aggregates ("CT complexes") were studied by second-order many-body perturbation theory (MP2) and by gradient-corrected hybrid Hartree-Fock/density functional theory (B3LYP exchange-correlation functional). The complexes consist of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and related compounds and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). Density functional theory (DFT) and MP2 molecular equilibrium geometries of the component structures are calculated by means of 6-31G*, 6-31G*(0.25), 6-31++G**, 6-31++G(3df,2p) and 6-311G** basis sets. Reliable molecular geometries are obtained for the donor and acceptor compounds considered. The geometries of the compounds were kept frozen in optimizing aggregate structures with respect to the intermolecular distance. The basis set superposition error (BSSE) was considered (counterpoise correction). According to the DFT and MP2 calculations laterally-displaced stacks are more stable than vertical stacks. The charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor is small in the ground state of the isolated complexes. The cp-corrected binding energies of TTF/TCNE amount to -1.7 and -6.3 kcal/mol at the DFT(B3LYP) and MP2(frozen) level of theory, respectively (6-31G* basis set). Larger binding energies were obtained by Hobza's 6-31G*(0.25) basis set. The larger MP2 binding energies suggest that the dispersion energy is underestimated or not considered by the B3LYP functional. The energy increases when S in TTF/TCNE is replaced by O or NH but decreases with substitution by Se. The charge-transferred complexes in the triplet state are favored in the vertical arrangement. Self-consistent-reaction-field (SCRF) calculations predicted a gain in binding energy with solvation for the ground-state complex. The ground-state charge transfer between the components is increased up to 0.8 e in polar solvents.

Understanding the mechanisms underlying ion channel function from the atomic-scale requires accurate ab initio modelling as well as careful experiments. Here, we present a density functional theory (DFT) study of the ion channel gramicidin A (gA), whose inner pore conducts only monovalent cations and whose conductance has been shown to depend on the side chains of the amino acids in the channel. We investigate the ground state geometry and electronic properties of the channel in vacuum, focusing on their dependence on the side chains of the amino acids. We find that the side chains affect the ground state geometry, while the electrostatic potential of the pore is independent of the side chains. This study is also in preparation for a full, linear scaling DFT study of gA in a lipid bilayer with surrounding water. We demonstrate that linear scaling DFT methods can accurately model the system with reasonable computational cost. Linear scaling DFT allows ab initio calculations with 10 000–100 000 atoms and beyond, and will be an important new tool for biomolecular simulations.
