DFT study of the electronic and charge transfer properties of perfluoroarene–thiophene oligomers

The ground state structures of 5,5″-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2‴-quaterthiophene (1), 5,5′-bis{1-[4-(thien-2-yl)perfluorophenyl]}-2,2′-dithiophene (2), 4,4′-bis[5-(2,2′-dithiophenyl)]-perfluorobiphenyl (3), 5,5″-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′:5′,2″-tertthiophene (4), 5,5′-diperfluorophenyl-2,2′-dihiophene (5), and 5,5-diperfluorophenylthiophene (6) have been optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d), B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), PBE0/6-31G(d), and PBE0/6-31G(d,p) level of theories. The B3LYP/6-31+G(d) and PBE0/6-31+G(d) level of theories have been applied to investigate the absorption spectra. The PBE0 functional is good to predict the C–S bond lengths while the C–F bond lengths are good envisaged with B3LYP functional. The increment of thiophene rings between two perfluoroarene rings leads to red shift in absorption spectra. The electron affinities are energetically destabilized while energetic stabilization of the radical-cation increases by decreasing the thiophene rings from four to one. The perfluoroarene rings leads to enhance the electron injection.     

Structures and excitation energies of Zn–tetraarylporphyrin analogues: A theoretical study

The photophysical properties of β-substituted Zn–tetraarylporphyrin (ZnTAP) analogues used as dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells were studied using density functional theory (DFT). Singlet-excitation energy calculations of ZnTAP analogues were performed using time-dependent DFT with B3LYP, B3PW91, PBE0 exchange–correlation functionals at 6-31G(d) and 6-31+G(d) basis sets using B3LYP/6-31G(d) geometries. The PBE0 functional at 6-31+G(d) basis set provided a better correlation with the experimental data for both B- and Q-bands. The inclusion of solvation effect in the calculations provided a good agreement in terms of B:Q_ave ratio of the oscillator strengths for both analogues with the experimental values. Analogue 2 has a higher and a more balanced charge-carrier transport rates than analogue 1. In general, the addition of an electron-donating group in the meso-substituent (analogue 2) resulted in a narrower band gap, higher oscillator strength, a more red-shifted absorption spectra, and better charge-transfer characteristics than analogue 1.

Kinetic comparison between ferric ion and decamethyferrocene at the liquid/liquid interface as studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy

<正>Comparison in electron transfer(ET) processes from decamethyferrocene(DMFe) in nitrobenzene(NB) to ferric ion in aqueous phase was investigated for the first time by the scanning electrochemical microscopy(SECM).As compared with the system of Fe(CN)_6~(3-)-DMFe,the ET rate obtained from Fe~(3+)-DMFe was lower in spite of larger driving force,which may arise from the effect of reorganization energy.Otherwise,the effect of common ion on rate constants was also probed and results suggested additional complexity of the ET mechanism between Fe(CN)_6~(3-) and DMFe.

DFT研究给/吸电子取代基对D-π-A型苯并噻唑衍生物光电性质及非线性光学性质的影响

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP方法计算了苯并噻唑及其三种D-π-A型衍生物的电子结构、电子光谱及重组能,同时结合有限场(FF)方法计算了它们的二阶非线性光学系数βtol值,从而探索取代基与分子的电荷分布、电子光谱及非线性光学性质的关系.计算结果显示,在母体分子的2,5位同时引入给/吸电子基团,2位碳原子的电荷布居发生较大变化,且分子的HOMO能级升高,LUMO能级降低,能隙减小,吸收和发射光谱发生显著的红移,增大了二阶非线性光学系数βtol.随着取代基吸电子能力的增强,分子的电子重组能逐渐变大,而空穴重组能的变化却不大,同时分子的偶极矩有所增加,有利于产生二阶非线性光学活性.
