The energetically favorable structures and characteristic infrared (IR) and Raman peaks of Ti n O m(n = 2–4, m ≤ 2n) clusters are obtained in this work using a B3LYP/6-311G(d) method of density functional theory (DFT). The structures with m < 2n compose of Ti atoms of lower numbers of coordination with O atoms, providing many dangling bonds which considerably enhance the reactivity compared with its bulk counterpart. Two- and three-coordinated O atoms present for m/n ≤ 1.5, whereas two- and also single-coordinated O atoms are found for m/n > 1.5. The Ti n O m(n = 2–4, m < 2n) clusters show strong IR peaks in the range of 600–1100 cm-1 and strong Raman peaks in the region of 300–800 cm-1, whereas both the IR and Raman spectrum peaks of the Ti n O m(n = 2–4, m = 2n) clusters are in the region of 700–1100 cm-1. The main Raman peak of the Ti n O m(m ≠ 2n) clusters is at a frequency considerably lower than that of the IR spectrum. Our results can help understand the structure-property relationships of the Ti n O m clusters and provide their characteristic spectroscope features for further experimental identification.

Using density functional theory we have investigated the structure–property relationships of organic molecules with a donor–linker–acceptor (DLA) framework, which can be used as precursors of OLED materials.

We investigated the detection of chloroform (CHCl3) using ZnO nanoclusters via density functional theory calculations. The effects of various concentrations of CHCl3, as well as the deposition of O atoms, on the adsorption over ZnO nanoclusters were analyzed via geometric optimizations. The calculated difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital for ZnO was 4.02 eV. The most stable adsorption characteristics were investigated with respect to the adsorption energy, frontier orbitals, elemental positions, and charge transfer. The results revealed that ZnO nanoclusters with a specific geometry and composition are promising candidates for chloroform-sensing applications.
