Linear Optical Properties

Perylene and its derivatives are some of the promising organic semiconductors. They have found vast applications in many areas such as photovoltaic systems, organic light-emitting diodes, and so on. The instability of organic molecules under ambient conditions is one factor deterring the commercialization of organic semiconductor devices. Currently, most of the investigation of Perylene and its derivatives concentrated on its diimide and bisimide derivatives. In this work, an investigation of the effects of doping Bromine and Fluorine on the electronic and non-linear optical properties was carried out based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) as implemented in the Gaussian 09 software package. We computed the Molecular geometries of the molecules, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, global chemical indices and non-linear optical properties using the same method. The bond lengths and angles of the mono-halogenated molecules at different charge states were found to be less than that of the isolated Perylene. 1-fluoroperylene was found to be the most stable amongst the studied molecule for having the least bond angles and bond lengths. In the calculation of the energy bandgap neutral 1-fluoroperylene was observed to have the highest energy gap 3.0414 eV and 3.0507 eV for 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets respectively. These results were found to agree with the existing literature. This reconfirmed 1-fluoroperylene as the most stable molecule. The computations of the ionic molecules reported small values of the energy gap. The molecule with the most chemical hardness was obtained to be the neutral 1-fluoroperylene with a chemical hardness of 1.5253eV. All the ionic molecules results were found to be more reactive than their neutral form for having lower values of chemical hardness. For NLO calculations, the results showed an increment in their values with the ionic hybrid molecules having the largest values.  In the case of first-order hyper-polarizability, 1-bromoperylene (neutral), 1-fluoroperylene (neutral), 1-bromoperylene (anionic), 1-fluoroperylene (anionic), 1-bromoperylene (cationic) and 1-fluoroperylene (cationic) were found to be 73.93%, 1.71%, 83.9%, 39.2%,38.7% and 41.7% larger than that of Urea respectively. These calculated results make these hybrid molecules suitable for a wide range of optoelectronic applications.
