In this paper, we theoretically studied the geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of bridged bithiophene S-oxide (BTO-X) derivates (with X = BH2, SiH2, S, S=O, and O) by using semi-empirical methods, ab-initio, and Density functional theory. The geometries and thermodynamic parameters calculated by PM3 were in good agreement with that of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The bandgap calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) ranged from 3.94eV (BTO-O)-3.16eV (BTO-BH2). The absorption λmax calculated suing B3LYP/6-31G(d) shifted to longer wavelength with X=BH2, SiH2, and S=O due to enhancement of π-conjugated system whereas, BTO-S and BTO-O shifted to shorter wavelengths as compared to dimmer thiophene S-oxide (2TO).

Optical and dielectric properties, and energetic stability orders of black phase of perovskites and yellow phase of iodoplumbates have been studied using density functional theory; where the optical dielectric constant varies with the polymorphic phase and nature of cation.

Using density functional theory, we investigate the adsorption properties of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) on the outer surfaces of a (10,0) carbon nanotube (CNT) and a (8,0) triazine-based graphitic carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT).
