Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be considered as graphene nanoflakes in which the edges are hydrogenated. Zigzag and armchair-edged PAHs possessing circular, parallelogram, rectangular and triangular shapes have been studied using M06L/6-31+G(d) level of density functional theory (DFT). Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) analysis of the PAHs is done to characterize their electron distribution while the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) analysis was used for the absorption spectral analysis. MESP analysis clearly showed Clar’s sextet like electronic arrangement in armchair-edged systems whereas zigzag-edged ones showed significant electron localization towards the edges. TD-DFT analysis casts light upon the absorption features of these systems, which followed a linear trends in absorption maximum (lmax) for most of the armchair-edged systems with respect to the number of π-electrons. MESP analysis on the electron rich and electron deficient features of PAH systems led to the design of donor-spacer-acceptor type PAH-π-PAH systems (D-π-A systems) wherein a conjugated diene moiety functions as the π-spacer. Though these systems behaved weakly as D-π-A systems, with the introduction of electron donating functional group NMe2 on one PAH and electron withdrawing group COOH on the other led to the formation of strong D-π-A systems.  The MESP features, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) distribution, and absorption spectral features supported their strong D-π-A character. Among the different shapes studied, the rectangular PAH moiety showed the most efficient tuning of HOMO-LUMO gap. The optical and electronic data of PAH, PAH-π-PAH and functionalized PAH-π-PAH systems shed light upon possible tuning of their optoelectronic properties for practical applications.

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>
