The structure and spectroscopic properties of polycyclic aromatic ligands of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis (alkylthio) triphenylene (alkyl: methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl; corresponding to the abbreviations of the molecules: HMTT, HETT and HiPTT) were studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods with triple-zeta valence polarization (TZVP) basis set. It was shown that the type of functional theory used, Becke-Perdew (BP) and Leeuwen-Baerends (LB94) implemented in Amsterdam Density functional (ADF) program package, does not have essential influence on the geometry of studied compounds in both ground and excited states. However, significant differences were obtained for the band gap values with relativistic effects of the zero order regular approximation scalar corrections (ZORA) and LB94 functional seems to reproduce better the experimental optical band gap of these systems.

The effects of varying halogen and solvent, in terms of vibrational and electronic properties, on the different conformers of 1-pentanamine [ CH 3( CH 2)4 NH 2] and 1,1-dihalogeno-pentan-1-amines [ CH 3( CH 2)3 CX 2 NH 2; X = F , Cl or Br ] were investigated by employing the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The B3LYP functional was used with the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. Computations were focused on the 10 conformational isomers of the compounds in the gas phase and both in non-polar (benzene) and polar (methanol) solvents. The present work explores the effects of the halogen and the medium on the conformational preference, and geometrical parameter, dipole moment, NH 2 vibrational frequency, UV spectrum, highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO–LUMO) orbital and DOS diagram of the conformers. The atypical characteristics of fluorine and bromine affecting the electrical bandgap, chemical hardness, electronegativity, PDOS or OPDOS plots and the absorption band are observed correspondingly. The findings of this work can be useful to those systems involving changes in the conformations analogous to the compounds studied.

The ethyl 6-amino-5-cyano-2-methyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-4H-pyran-3-carboxylate (ACNPPC) was synthesized using an environmentally friendly method and looked into in terms ofstructural, UV-visible, vibrational, and computational analysis. In the gaseous phase, calculations of the density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level were performed. Using Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set method, the HOMO and LUMO energies are calculated. For assessing electrophilic and nucleophilic reactive sites, the molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP) and contour plot were plotted over the optimized structure. Using computed and experimental vibrational spectra, vibrational assignments were elucidated. To illustrate the charge density in the title compound, Mulliken atomic charges are disclosed. In addition, using vibrational analysis, some thermochemical functions have also been derived. Theoretical simulations have shown the best relationship with experimental results obtained with the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory at the DFT and TD-DFT methods.

Abstract In this work, we use theoretical methods DFT density functional theory to calculate the electronic properties of the five molecules based on N- (7-indazolyl) -aryl sulfonamides, for an example of these parameters: HOMO energies, Energies of LUMO and E gap which are very interesting in the photovoltaic field. At the same time, we explore our result to achieve our goal of treminations the electronic and spectroscopic properties of these organic molecules through the use of TD-DFT, to determine the wavelengths of the molecules and to trace the visible, ultra-violet spectrum and to determine the transition states.

Abstract Perylene based novel organic sensitizers for the Dye sensitized solar cell applications are investigated by using Density functional theory (DFT) and time dependant density functional theory (TD-DFT).The designed sensitizers have perylene and dimethylamine (DM) and N-N-dimethylaniline(DMA) functionalized perylene for the dssc applications.π-spacers are thiophene andcyanovinyl groups and cyanoacrylic acid is chosen as the acceptor for the designed sensitizers. The studied sensitizers were fully optimized by density functional theory at B3LYP/6-311G basis set on gas phase and DMF phase. The electronic absorption of the sensitizers is analyzed by TD-DFT at B3LYP/6-311G basis set in both gas and DMF phase.

In this work, the necessity of synthesis of 1,3-di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted pyrenes is presented based on the results of theoretical calculations by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) by using Gaussian 09 program with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and 6-31G** basis set. What is more, the synthetic routes with feasible reagents and conditions are presented. The subject of theoretical considerations are two pyrene derivatives which contain at position 1 and 3 pyrazolyl substituents and at position 7 amine (1) or boron (2) derivative. The theoretical calculations were also performed for the osmium complexes with mentioned ligands (3 and 4). The influence of electron-donating/accepting character of the substituent at position 7 of pyrene on the properties of molecules has been established.

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.

Detailed theoretical studies of Ni(II) complexes in a distorted square planar form and containing dithio and (P, P) chelating ligands were performed. These Ni(II) complexes are investigated for their use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Structures and UV–vis spectra are calculated at density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) theories using B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals and 6-31G(d,p) and 6-31G+(d) basis sets. Geometry optimizations result in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, the analysis of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) allowed a detailed assignment and a clear analysis of the electronic transitions. The TD-DFT calculations reproduce the main spectroscopic properties observed and substituent effects. The results reveal that all absorption spectra are characterized by mixed character mainly dominated by metal to ligand and ligand to ligand charge transfers (MLCT and LLCT). We unveil how the substituent variations affect the DSSCs features of the complexes.

A series of chiral [6]helicenes have been designed using the molecular engineering of organic nonlinear optical materials. The geometries of [6]helicenes 1, 2, 3, 4,5 are optimized using density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP) method at the 6-31g (d, p) basis set level. Based on the obtained stable molecular configuration, we adopt the TDHT/PM3 method and time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) to calculate the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and electronic spectra of these molecules. Results show that the static hyperpolarizability βµ alternates between positive value and negative value, whereas it remains positive for the molecues 2 and 3 which have medium magnitudes βµ, 3.4×10-30esu and 9.6×10-30esu respectively. In molecule 5, there exists two competitive charge transfers that reduce the hyperpolarizability β.
