间位取代卟啉及其锌卟啉的电子吸收光谱

取代的卟啉类衍生物在气敏传感器方面具有广泛的应用前景.本文采用了密度泛函理论(DFT)和含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)研究了四种不同取代基的卟啉衍生物(meso位四硝基苯基/四氨基苯基卟啉(NO2PP,NH2PP)及其相应的锌金属卟啉衍生物(NO2ZnPP,NH2ZnPP))的紫外和近紫外光谱特征.利用两种不同的交换相关泛函(广义梯度近似泛函(PBE)和杂化密度泛函(B3LYP))优化了上述四种物质的结构,并应用TD-DFT计算了相应的电子激发能量和振动强度.结果表明,取代卟啉的吸收光谱与大量的电子跃迁有关;与B3LYP泛函预测的光谱相比,PBE泛函所得B带以及Q带的波长位置与实验值更为接近.另外,计算所得硝基取代基卟啉的B带相对于氨基取代基卟啉的B带发生了红移,这与实验现象也保持一致.由于卟啉衍生物的三重激发态在电子转移中有很重要的应用,因此在PBE/6-31G(d)水平上计算了四种物质的最低三重激发态能量,分别为1.426、1.469、1.608和1.581eV.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel ambipolar polymer semiconductor based on a fumaronitrile core as an electron‐withdrawing group

Two conjugated polymers containing stilbene and fumaronitrile moieties were synthesized to investigate their electronic properties by the existence of electron‐withdrawing cyano groups on a vinylene backbone. The cyclic voltammetry investigation and time‐dependent density functional theory calculations indicated that the cyano substituents lowered the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level by about 0.65 and 0.63 eV, respectively. The lowering of the LUMO energy levels due to the electron‐withdrawing properties of the cyano substituents could enhance electron injection capability. Furthermore, bithiophene‐fumaronitrile (donor‐acceptor) intermolecular interaction facilitates the self‐assembly of the polymer chains. Organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) based on PBTSB without the electron‐withdrawing group only exhibit hole transport, while OFETs based on PBTFN with cyano substituents exhibit ambipolar characteristics. The growth of PBTFN crystalline fibrils was observed with increasing annealing temperature, which enhanced hole and electron mobility. A complementary‐like inverter using PBTFN with ambipolar properties exhibited good symmetry with an inverting voltage nearly half that of the power supply with a gain of 9 at V_DD = 100 V. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of conjugated copolymers containing phenothiazinylene vinylene moieties and their electrooptic properties

Four different types of conjugated copolymers, consisting of alternating structures of phenothiazinylene vinylene and phenylene vinylene derivatives such as phenylene vinylene, 1,1′‐biphenyl‐4,4′‐ylene vinylene, 2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylene vinylene, and 9,10‐anthrylene vinylene, were prepared by Horner–Emmons condensation between appropriate diphosphonates and dialdehydes. Single‐layer and double‐layer light‐emitting diodes were fabricated with the synthesized conjugated polymers, and their electroluminescent properties were investigated. Poly(N‐2‐ethylhexyl‐3,6‐phenothiazinylene vinylene‐alt‐9,10‐anthrylene vinylene), containing phenothiazinylene vinylene and anthrylene vinylene as repeat units, emitted a reddish‐orange color with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of x = 0.6173 and y = 0.3814 that was very similar to the National Television System Committee standard red, and it showed a bipolar carrier‐injection/transporting capability caused by electron‐withdrawing anthracene and electron‐donating amino groups. Poly[N‐2‐ethylhexyl‐3,6‐phenothiazinylene vinylene‐alt‐2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylene vinylene], containing phenothiazinylene vinylene and dialkoxy phenylene vinylene moieties, showed excellent hole‐injection/transporting capability. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structural and spectral properties of 4-bromo-1-naphthyl chalcones: a quantum chemical study

The structural and optical properties of 4-bromo-1-naphthyl chalcones (BNC) have been studied by using quantum chemical methods. The density functional theory (DFT) and the singly excited configuration interaction (CIS) methods were employed to optimize the ground and excited state geometries of unsubstituted and substituted BNC with different electron withdrawing and donating groups in both gas and solvent phases. Based on the ground and excited state geometries, the absorption and emission spectra of BNC molecules were calculated using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The solvent phase calculations were performed using the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative stability of cis- and trans-isomers of unsubstituted and substituted BNC molecules have been studied. The results from the TDDFT calculations reveal that the substitution of electron withdrawing and electron donating groups affects the absorption and emission spectra of BNC.

Push–pull effect on the geometries,electronic and optical properties of thiophene based dye-sensitized solar cell materials

Geometries, electronic structure and electronic absorption spectra of thiophene based dye-sensitized solar cells were performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Different electron donating and electron withdrawing groups have been substituted. Geometries and electronic properties have been computed at B3LYP/6-31G⁷ and absorption spectra at TD-B3LYP/6-31G⁷ level of theory. Major change in bond lengths and bond angles occurs in the system where there is electron withdrawing or electron donating groups have been substituted. In SYSTEM-2 and SYSTEM-3 intra charge transfer has been observed. HOMO of SYSTEM-2 and SYSTEM-3 is delocalized on left side while LUMO on right side of the molecule. In SYSTEM-1, HOMO is on left side while LUMO is in the center. The designed systems show two absorption peaks for each of the system. In short, choice of appropriate electron withdrawing and donating groups is very important for improving the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells.     

Synthesis of Phenylene Vinylene Macrocycles through Acyclic Diene Metathesis Macrocyclization and Their Aggregation Behavior

A series of phenylene vinylene macrocycles (PVMs) bearing substituents with various sizes and electronic properties have been synthesized through a one‐step acyclic diene metathesis macrocyclization approach and their aggregation behaviors have been investigated. In great contrast to the aggregation of the analogous phenylene ethynylene macrocycles, which aggregate only when substituted with electron‐withdrawing groups, these PVMs undergo exceptionally strong aggregation, regardless of the electron‐donating or ‐withdrawing characters of the substituents. The unusual aggregation behavior of the PVMs is further investigated with thermodynamic and computer modeling studies, which show a good agreement with the recently proposed direct through‐space interaction model, rather than the polar/π model. The high aggregation tendency of PVMs suggests the great potential of this novel class of shape‐persistent macrocycles in a variety of applications, such as ion channels, host–guest recognition, and catalysis.     

Structural and spectral properties of 3-substitutedphenyl-1,5-diphenylformazans: A quantum chemical study

The structural and optical properties of 3-substitutedphenyl-1,5-diphenylformazans are studied by quantum chemical methods. The density functional theory (DFT) is employed to optimize the ground state geometries of formazans substituted with different electron donating and withdrawing groups in both gas and solvent phases. The absorption spectra of formazan derivatives are calculated using time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The polarizable continuum model (PCM) calculations of 3-substitutedphenyl-1,5-diphenylformazans are performed for bulk solvent effects. The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative stabilities of isomers of 3-substitutedphenyl-1,5-diphenylformazans are studied. The results obtained by TD-DFT calculations reveal that the substitution of electron withdrawing and donating substituents affects the absorption spectra of 3-substitutedphenyl-1,5-diphenylformazans. The calculated maximum absorption wavelengths (λ_max) are highly consistent with the experimental values as found from UV-vis spectra.     

Experimental and density functional theory insights into the effect of withdrawing ligands on the fluorescence yield of Ru(II)‐based complexes

The quality of emission spectra of metal complexes gives good insights into their performance in many optoelectronic applications. Herein, the effect of the number and position of various ligand structures on the emission spectra of Ru bipyridine complexes was studied. Specifically, the use of a different number of withdrawing groups (COOH) was investigated in detail. The complexes were first investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT calculations and then confirmed experimentally. The bandgap energy, reactivity, emission spectra and Stokes shift were found to depend on the number and position of the withdrawing groups attached to the Ru(bpy)₂²⁺ complexes. Upon increasing the number of withdrawing groups, the electrons were found to be withdrawn from the carbon orbitals and resonated to reach the metal, and accumulated around it, thus enhancing the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer mechanism instead of the ligand‐to‐ligand charge transfer mechanism. The complexes with more withdrawing groups showed spectra with more intense emission peaks with shorter lifetime, indicating the enhancement in the photoactivity of the complexes. Ligands with ring nitrogens with two COOH groups showed the greatest effect on the enhancement of the emission spectra with a lifetime of 0.5359 ns. The resulting collective emission spectra covered a wide wavelength range, making the investigated complexes a good choice for many optoelectronic applications.     

Substituent effect on the structure and properties of dialumene

In this work, we report a theoretical study on molecular structure, and electronic properties of dialumene (ArAl = AlAr, Ar = aryl) and substituted dialumene. The effects of the substituent groups on the structure, electronic properties, ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), and reorganization energy were studied. Theoretical calculations were carried out by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP hybrid function combined with the 6-311 + G(d) basis set. The most intensity electronic transition energy and oscillator strength of molecules were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and shows λ_max blue-shifted in withdrawing electron substituents. Quantum theory of atom in molecules was used for explain of AlAl and AlC bonds in all molecules.     

Modulating Bandgap and HOCO/LUCO Energy of Semiconducting Polymer by Copolymerization or Incorporation of Electron Withdrawing/Releasing Groups

The modulation of bandgap and HOCO/LUCO energies of conjugated polymers by copolymerization or by incorporation of electron withdrawing/releasing groups is studied.The study was conducted by band structure calculation applying density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation.The polymers and copolymers were modeled as 1D infinite system with periodical boundary condition along the molecular direction.It is concluded that the bandgap and HOCO/LUCO energies of conjugated polymers depend on both electron withdrawing/releasing effects and non-bonding interaction between a side group and the conjugated systems.
