The recent interest in the application of density functional theory (DFT) has prompted us to test several functions in molecular geometries of methyl pheophorbides-a (MPa), an important starting material in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, we report on tests for three popular DFT methods: M06-2X, B3LYP, and LSDA. Based on the standard deviation and the mean value, and by using the difference between optimized calculated value and experimental value in geometries, we drew the following conclusions: M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) attained the smallest standard deviation of difference among the tested DFT methods in terms of bond length, whereas the standard deviation of bond angle in LSDA/6-311+G(d,p) was the smallest. In terms of absolute value, the mean value of LSDA/6-311+G(d,p) calculation was larger than that of M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p). We found that M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) gave the best performance for MPa in the molecular geometries. The UV-visible spectrum was calculated with time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT). Time-dependent M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) gave the best performance for MPa in CH2Cl2 solution. In general, TD-DFT calculations in CH2Cl2 solution were more red-shifted compared with those in the solid state.

The photoluminescence properties of pristine adamantane molecule have been calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) within the hybrid functional level. This study aims to investigate the luminescence properties of the pristine adamantane molecule and its functionalized with neutral and ion of alkali metal to form C10H16-nXn structure (where X is Li, Li+, Na and Na+ atoms, n=1). The electronic gap of the pristine adamantane (7.15 eV) is too wide, leading to an insulator property. While all the functionalized adamantanes exhibit semiconducting behavior. The absorption and emission energies of the original structure are 6.51 eV and 5.63 eV, respectively which are in good agreement with experimental results. The pure adamantane exhibits a broad photoluminescence peak in the ultraviolet region (UV). The Stokes shift of the transition between vertical and emission is 0.88 eV which agrees well with the previous work that measures the Stokes shift of 0.7 eV. The modification of adamantane indicates that the absorption and emission gaps substantially decreases. Substituting with alkali metal causes the photoluminescence onset can be shifted from the UV to the near-IR region. These results suggest that pure and the alkali metal functionalized adamantane molecules are promoting as candidate materials for the opto-electronic applications in the ultraviolet to infrared spectral regions.
