The present study reports the theoretical vertical ionization potentials (IPs) for all the valence electrons in six XPY2 molecules by utilizing the corrected orbital energies calculated with three theoretical methods, namely, the ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF), and both the pure and hybrid density functional theory (DFT) methods at, respectively, the BLYP/6-311+G* and B3lYP/6-311+G* levels of theory. Evaluation of the numerical corrections to the orbital energies was achieved by comparisons with the IP values obtained via explicit computation of the energy differences between the neutral molecules and the corresponding radical cations (the ΔSCF method) and shows values from –0.9 to –1.9 eV for the HF, and positive values from 2.9 to 3.9 eV and from 1.8 to 2.4 eV for the pure and hybrid DFT methods, respectively. In contrast to the orbital energies, the ΔSCF method is shown to give consistent values among the three methods, as well as reasonable agreement with the experimental IP values.Key words: ionization potential, phosphorane, Koopmans' theorem, Janak's theorem.

Computations were carried out employing the restricted Hartree–Fock (RHF) and density functional theory (DFT) methods to investigate the geometries and energies for the 1,3-dithiole-2-thione (DTT), 1,3-dithiole-2-one (DTO), 1,3-dioxole-2-thione (DOT), and 1,3-dioxole-2-one (DOO) molecules and their radical cations. The geometrical parameters of all the four molecules suggest a finite extent of extended conjugation across the molecules. The radical cations of the DTT and DOT molecules exhibit increased extent of conjugation compared to their neutral analogues. However, on going from the neutral DOO and DTO molecules to their radical cations, the extent of conjugation across the ions decreases and two unsaturated sites become isolated from each other. Requirement of the relaxation energy for the formation of radical cation is much lower for the DTT and DOT molecules compared to that for the DOO and DTO molecules. Smaller relaxation energy requirement favors minimal resistance to charge transport along the molecular stacking. Therefore, it is speculated that the DTT and DOT molecules are better molecular conductors as compared to the DOO and DTO molecules.

The electronic and energetic properties of thymine (1) and 2-thiothymine (2) and their neutral and positively charged radicals are considered by a combined ab initio and density functional theory approach. It is conclusively shown that ionization of 1 and 2 greatly facilitates deprotonation of the formed radical cations thus making the proton transfer between charged and neutral precursor species thermodynamically favourable. The adiabatic ionization potential of 1 and 2 are analysed. It appears that ADIP(1) is larger than ADIP(2) by 10 kcal/mol, because of greater stability of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the former. It is also shown beyond any doubt that the spin density in neutral and cationic radical of 2 is almost exclusively placed on the σ-3p AO of sulfur implying that these two systems represent rather rare sigma-radicals. In contrast, the spin density of radicals of 1 is distributed over their π-network.

AbstractSpangler and He [1,2] have shown that dithienyl polyenes form extremely stable bipolaronic dications when oxidatively doped in solution. Previous theoretical studies applied empirical methods to predict bipolaronic enhancement of hyperpolarizabilities for simple polyenes [3,4]. Here, we employ density functional theory to optimize the gas-phase molecular conformations of neutral, cationic, and dicationic forms of a series of dithienyl polyenes, where the number of ethene units, N, is varied from 1–5. Ab initio Hartree-Fock, generalized valence bond, configuration interaction, and Møller-Plesset calculations demonstrate that the dications are farily well described with a closed shell and therefore have little biradicaloid character. Second hyperpolarizabilities, γ, are subsequently calculated using ab initio Hartree-Fock theory and a finite field methodology. As expected, γ increases with the number of ethene units for a given molecular charge. The cations also show the largest increase in γ with N. For a given value of N, the cations display the largest γ values. However, if we treat the dication as a triplet, which might be present in solution, then it displays the largest γ.

Theory Scheme

The crystalline structure of ground-state orthorhombic SrRuO3 is reproduced by applying the hybrid density functional theory scheme to the functionals based on the revised generalized-gradient approximations for solidstate calculations. The amount of Hartree–Fock (HF) exchange energy is varied in the range of 5–20% in order to systematically ascertain the optimum value of HF mixing which in turn ensures the best correspondence to the experimental measurements. Such investigation allows one to expand the set of tools that could be used for the efficient theoretical modelling of, for example, only recently stabilized phases of SrRuO3, helping to resolve issues emerging for the experimentalists.
