Designing dithienonaphthalene based acceptor materials with promising photovoltaic parameters for organic solar cells
摘要： Scientists are focusing on non-fullerene based acceptors due to their efficient photovoltaic properties. Here, we have designed four novel dithienonaphthalene based acceptors with better photovoltaic properties through structural modification of a well-known experimentally synthesized reference compound R. The newly designed molecules have a dithienonaphthalene core attached with different 2-(5,6-difluoro-2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (H1), 2-(5,6-dicyano-2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene)-malononitrile (H2), 2-(5-methylene-6-oxo-5,6-dihydrocylopenta[c]thiophe-4-ylidene)-malononitrile (H3) and 2-(3-(dicyanomethylene)-2,3-dihydroinden-1-yliden)malononitrile (H4) acceptor moieties (end-capped). The photovoltaic parameters of the designed molecules are discussed in comparison with those of the reference R. All newly designed molecules show a reduced HOMO–LUMO energy gap (2.17 eV to 2.28 eV), compared to the reference R (2.31 eV). Charger transfer from donor to acceptor is confirmed by a frontier molecular orbital (FMO) diagram. All studied molecules show extensive absorption in the visible region and absorption maxima are red-shifted compared to R. All investigated molecules have lower excitation energies which reveal high charge transfer rates, as compared to R. To evaluate the open circuit voltage, the designed acceptor molecules are blended with a well-known donor PBDB-T. The molecule H3 has the highest Voc value (1.88 V). TDM has been performed to show the behaviour of electronic excitation processes and electron hole location between the donor and acceptor unit. The binding energies of all molecules are lower than that of R. The lowest is calculated for H3 (0.24 eV) which reflects the highest charge transfer. The reorganization energy value for both the electrons and holes of H2 is lower than R which is indicative of the highest charge transfer rate.

Distortion‐Controlled Red‐Shift of Organic Dye Molecules
摘要： We show quantum chemically how structural distortion of an aromatic dye molecule can be leveraged to rationally tune its optoelectronic properties. Using a quantitative Kohn-Sham MO approach in combination with Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT), we have investigated the influence of various structural and electronic tuning parameters on the HOMO–LUMO gap of a benzenoid model dye, amongst others: (i) out-of-plane bending of the aromatic core; (ii) bending of the bridge with respect to the core; (iii) the nature of the bridge itself; and (iv) π-π stacking. Our study reveals the coupling of multiple structural distortions as a function of bridge length and number of bridges in benzene to be chiefly responsible for a decreased HOMO–LUMO gap and consequently the red-shifting of the absorption wavelength associated with the lowest singlet excitation (ca. 560 nm) in our model cyclophane systems. These physical insights together with a rational approach for tuning the oscillator strength were leveraged for the proof-of-concept design of the intense near-infrared (NIR) absorbing cyclophane dye 18 at 785 nm. Our design may contribute to a new class of distortion-controlled NIR absorbing organic dye molecules.

Synthesis, spectral characterization (FT-IR and NMR) and DFT (Conformational analysis, molecular structure, HOMO-LUMO, UV-vis, NLO) computational studies on 2,2’-((1E,1’E)-phenazine-2,3 dilbis(azanylylidene))bis(methanyly- lidene))diphenol
摘要： A new Schiff base was synthesized for the first time by the phenazine-2,3-diamine and 2-hydroxy benzaldedye in ethanol (1:1). The structure of Schiff bases was experimentally characterized by using UV-vis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods. Further, the synthesized compound was subjected to DFT for better understanding of the molecular architecture and optoelectronic properties. The optimized geometric parameters supported the available experimental values. The Mulliken and MEP analyses are utilized to identify reactive sites of title molecule. The energetic behaviors of compound 3 in hexane, chloroform, methanol solvents and gas phase were examined using by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) method by applying the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The calculated ΔE energies exposed that charge transfer takes place within the molecule. In addition to the polarizability and hyperpolarizability have been calculated which exhibit that compounds possess non-linear optical nature.

Spectroscopic Investigation (FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Vis),Conformational Stability, NBO and Thermodynamic Analysis of 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl) Piperazine and 1-(2-Chlorophenyl) Piperazine by DFT Approach
摘要： The Vibrational and electronic properties of phenyl substituted compounds 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine and 1-(2-chlorophenyl)piperazine have been investigated by FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Vis spectral measurements. Density functional theory (DFT) method, using B3LYP functional, with 6-311++G (d,p) basis set, has been performed for assigning vibrational frequencies of the title compounds, which also helps to derive useful information about the structure of the chosen compounds. A detailed interpretation of the Infrared and Raman spectra of the two molecules were reported based on potential energy distribution (PED). 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts of the molecules were calculated using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. These studies satisfactorily agree the experimental data. Charge density distribution and site of chemical reactivity of the molecule have been studied by mapping electron density isosurface with molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). Stability of the molecules arising from hyperconjugative interactions, charge delocalization have been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The compounds have similar HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals) - LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbitals) gap due to similarity in their structures. The compounds show (π→ π*) transitions in the UV- Visible range.

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy with methyl-orange on Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites: Experimental and theoretical investigation
摘要： Ag-TiO2 nanocomposites of different Ag nanoparticle (NP) concentrations are experimentally prepared and their UV-vis and surface enhanced Raman scattering characteristics are determined. The enhancement of the Raman signal for the ligand methyl-orange (MO) adsorbed onto the nanocomposite system, is observed. To investigate the influence of changing Ag concentration in this nanocomposite system, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted with both a fixed as well as varying number of the surfactant MO adsorbed onto the nanocomposite. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations are performed to investigate the conditions for charge transfer from the MO surfactant via the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) as well as the electrostatic potentials. It is shown that the bonding mode of the surfactant contributes greatly to the observed Raman scattering enhancement.

Periodic polymers with increasing repetition unit: Energy structure and carrier transfer
摘要： We study the energy structure and the transfer of an extra electron or hole along periodic polymers made of N monomers, with a repetition unit made of P monomers, using a tight-binding wire model, where a site is a monomer (e.g., in DNA, a base pair), for P even, and deal with two categories of such polymers: made of the same monomer (GC …, GGCC …, etc.) and made of different monomers (GA …, GGAA …, etc.). We calculate the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) eigenspectra, density of states, and HOMO-LUMO gap and find some limiting properties these categories possess, as P increases. We further examine the properties of the mean over time probability to find the carrier at each monomer. We introduce the weighted mean frequency of each monomer and the total weighted mean frequency of the whole polymer, as a measure of the overall transfer frequency content. We study the pure mean transfer rates. These rates can be increased by many orders of magnitude with appropriate sequence choice. Generally, homopolymers display the most efficient charge transfer. Finally, we compare the pure mean transfer rates with experimental transfer rates obtained by time-resolved spectroscopy.

Group 10 metal–thiocatecholate capped magnesium phthalocyanines – coupling chromophore and electron donor/acceptor entities and its impact on sulfur induced red-shifts
摘要： A new and facile method of generating thiolate groups at the phthalocyanine (Pc) β-position is presented as well the unique properties that these groups confer on the Pc ligand upon coordination of group 10 metals Ni, Pd and Pt(dppe) or SnMe3. In particular, the Q-band is shifted to almost 800 nm for all group 10 metals used, and the complexes show panchromatic absorption owing to new absorbance bands that appear between 400 and 650 nm. Enhanced intersystem-crossing for all transition metal co-ordinated Mg(Pc) complexes was demonstrated by the moderate to very high singlet oxygen quantum yields of 0.36, 0.76 and 0.91 for the Ni, Pd and Pt coordinating complexes, respectively, which show that the heavy metals have direct influence on the Pc π-system and inter-system-crossing (ISC). This was further confirmed by MO calculations, which show mixing of metal and ligand orbitals, as well as suggest that the Q-band transition has both π → π* and ligand-to-metal charge transfer characteristics. Furthermore, the origin of the Q-band red-shift was shown to be due to greater destabilization of the HOMO compared to LUMO/LUMO+1, thus decreasing the HOMO–LUMO band gap.
