Theoretical Investigation of Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic and Transition Metal Hybrid Azobenzene Dendrimers

In this work, we report a theoretical exploration of the responses of organic azobenzene dendrimers. The polarizabilities, the first and second hyperpolarizabilities of the azobenzene monomers （GO）, and the first, second and third generation （G1, G2 and G3, respectively） are investigated by semi-empirical methods. The calculated results show that the nonlinear optical （NLO） properties of these organic dendrimers are mainly determined by the azobenzene chromospheres. Additionally, the values oft and y increase almost in proportion to the number of chromophores. On the other hand, two types of transition metal hybrid azobenzene dendrimers （core-hybrid and branch-end hybrid according to the sites combined with transition metals） are simulated and discussed in detail in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory （TDDFT）. The calculated results reveal that the NLO responses of these metal dendrimers distinctly varied as a result of altering the charge transfer transition scale and the excitation energies.

The model clusters have two fragments of rhombic units and it is the charge ransfer from one of these moieties to the other that is responsible for nonlinear optical property. This kind of electronic delocaization, differentiated from that of planar π-system, is very interesting and is worthy for further investigation.

Electronic Properties of Transition and Alkaline Earth Metal Doped CuS: A DFT Study

CuS is a unique semiconductor with potential in optoelectronics. Its unusual electronic structure, including a partially occupied valence band, and complex crystal structure with an S−S bond offer unique opportunities and potential applications. In this work, the use of doping to optimize the properties of CuS for various applications is investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Among the dopants studied, Ni, Zn, and Mg may be the most practical due to their lower formation energies. Doping with Fe, Ni, or Ca induces significant distortion, which may be beneficial for achieving materials with high surface areas and active states. Significantly, doping alters the conductor-like behavior of CuS, opening a band gap by increasing bond ionicity and reducing the S−S bond covalency. Thus, doping CuS can tune the plasmonic properties and transform it from a conductor to an intrinsic fluorescent semiconductor. Ni and Fe doping give the lowest band gaps (0.35 eV and 0.39 eV, respectively), while Mg doping gives the highest (0.86 eV). Doping with Mg, Ca, and Zn may enhance electron mobility and charge separation. Most dopants increase the anisotropy of electron-to-hole mass ratios, enabling device design that exploits directional-dependence for improved performance.     

Carbon Dioxide Capture and Release by Anions with Solvent‐Dependent Behaviour: A Theoretical Study

Recently, Clyburne and co‐workers [Science, 2014 , 344, 75–78] reported the novel synthesis of the elusive cyanoformate anion, NCCO₂^?. The stability of this anion is dependent on the dielectric constant of the local environment (polarity‐switchable solvent): it is stable in low‐polarity media and unstable in high‐polarity solvents; hence, capturing and then releasing CO₂. The possibility of extending such behaviour to other anions is explored herein. Specifically, the CO₂ capture process is studied for 26 anions in the gas phase and 3 distinct solvents (water, tetrahydrofuran, and toluene) by using the polarisable continuum model. Calculations are performed with the M06‐2X and B3LYP‐D3 density functionals and the aug‐cc‐pVTZ basis set. The design of new CO₂ complexes with the anion, which can be formed or destroyed on demand by changing the solvent, is possible; the results for the alkoxylate and thiolate anions are especially promising. The nature of the substituents connected to the atom that bonds to CO₂ in the anion is crucial in modulating the relative stability of the products—a key point for reversibility in the CO₂ capture process. A moderate interaction for the anion–CO₂ adduct—about 10 kcal mol^?1 relative free energy with respect to the isolated reactants in the gas phase—and a relevant effect in the dielectric constant of the local environment are also key ingredients to achieve solvent dependency.     

Electronic and Optical Properties of Hydrogenated Si Clusters

The geometric, electronic, and photoabsorption properties of some hydrogenated silicon clusters are investigated. The density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation fimctional is applied. Our study shows that the geometric structures of them relax with their increasing sizes. Synchronously, the polarizations of Si-H bonds become weak slowly but overlap populations increase. In Mulliken population analysis, we find a distinctive passivation effect （some electrons are transferred from outer Si atoms to the central Si with four-coordinate Si atoms）. Owing to the quantum confinement, the energy gap and the lowest excitation energy increase with the decreasing sizes. For nanometer scale cluster, the transition from the highest occupied molecular orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital state is usually prohibited.

平面四方金属苯配合物的非线性光学性质的从头算研究

反位平面四方型过渡金属有机配合物[XM(PEt₃)₂-C₆H₄-R] (M＝Pd, Pt; X＝Br, I; R＝NO₂, CHO), 已被测定有较高的非线性光学系数. 本工作采用从头算方法对该配合物的结构和非线性光学性质进行研究. 构型在MP2/Lanl2DZ水平优化. 对基组进行慎重选择后, 认为应该在赝势价分裂基Lanl2DZ的基础上添加弥散函数和极化函数. 弥散函数按几何级数规则增加, 极化函数的指数应取低一个角量子数的基函数中最弥散的两个函数的指数的比例中项. 本工作的SCF水平计算表明苯的对位取代基R的吸电子能力越强, 金属对位配体X的电负性越强, 则配合物的超极化率越大.     

Theoretical Study of the Substituent Effects on the Nonlinear Optical Properties of a Room‐Temperature‐Stable Organic Electride

Excess‐electron compounds can be considered as novel candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials because of their large static first hyperpolarizabilities (β₀). A room‐temperature‐stable, excess‐electron compound, that is, the organic electride Na@(TriPip222), was successfully synthesized by the Dye group (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005 , 127, 12416). In this work, the β₀ of this electride was first evaluated to be 1.13×10⁶ au, which revealed its potential as a high‐performance NLO material. In particular, the substituent effects of different substituents on the structure, electride character, and NLO response of this electride were systemically studied for the first time by density functional theory calculations. The results revealed that the β₀ of Na@(TriPip222) could be further increased to 8.30×10⁶ au by introducing a fluoro substituent, whereas its NLO response completely disappeared if one nitryl group was introduced because the nitro‐group substitution deprived the material of its electride identity. Moreover, herein the dependence of the NLO properties on the number of substituents and their relative positions was also detected in multifluoro‐substituted Na@(TriPip222) compounds.

Computational Assessment of MLCT versus MC Stabilities in First-to-Third-Row d6 Pseudo-Octahedral Transition Metal Complexes

An accurate modeling of metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) and metal-centered (MC) excited state energies is key to predict the photoinduced response in transition metal complexes (TMCs). Herein, the importance of the ground state and excited state reference geometries is addressed for three-prototype d⁶ pseudo-octahedral TMCs, each displaying a different potential energy landscape of MLCT versus MC relative stabilities. Several functionals are used within the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), as well as multireference wave-function theory (MS-CASPT2), applied to [Mn(im)(CO)₃(phen)]⁺, [Ru(im)₂(bpy)₂]²⁺, and [Re(im)(CO)₃(phen)]⁺, (im: imidazole, bpy: bypiridine, phen: phenantroline). The results revel that TDDFT is robust except when using B3LYP functional for first-row d⁶ TMCs. In contrast, MS-CASPT2 calculations are strongly biased in those cases with competitive MLCT/MC states. The results reinforce the reliability of B3LYP to describe the excited states in d⁶ TMCs, but question the validity of assessing the density functional theory (DFT)/TDDFT performance via direct comparison with MS-CASPT2 performed at the same DFT reference geometry as a standard strategy. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal Methane Conversion to Formaldehyde Promoted by Single Platinum Atoms in PtAl2O4− Cluster Anions

Identification and mechanistic study of thermal methane conversion mediated by gas‐phase species is important for finding potentially useful routes for direct methane transformation under mild conditions. Negatively charged oxide species are usually inert with methane. This work reports an unexpected result that the bi‐metallic oxide cluster anions PtAl₂O₄^? can transform methane into a stable organic compound, formaldehyde, with high selectivity. The clusters are prepared by laser ablation and reacted with CH₄ in an ion trap reactor. The reaction is characterized by mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations. It is found that platinum rather than oxygen activates CH₄ at the beginning of the reaction. The Al₂O₄^? moiety serves as the support of Pt atom and plays important roles in the late stage of the reaction. A new mechanism for selective methane conversion is provided and new insights into the surface chemistry of single Pt atoms may be obtained from this study.
