We have studied how water modifies the surface of graphene and in particular how the surface conductivity of graphene is affected. According to the literature, two types of interactions should be distinguished: physical, where a water molecule remains intact and is located at some distance from the mesh, and chemical, where a water molecule is imbricated in the graphene bond structure. We have developed theoretical models for both types of interactions using the density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP hybrid functional combined with the 6-31G(d) basis set. Our calculations show that the surface conductivity of graphene is reduced in the presence of water.

Abstract In this study, we introduce nano-baits that are formed based on the binding of glucose in a silicon nanoparticle. Sila-dodecahedrane has been selected among of four other famous nanostructures, due to its high stability, biocompatibility and its ability to engineer electronic features. Because of the glucose attached to nano-baits, they are attractive to cancer cells that consume high glucose. In this research, two nano-baits have been modeled with the chemical formulas of Si20H19C6H11O6 and Si20H13(C6H11O6)7. Their optimal structures are obtained using density functional theory (DFT). For this, we use the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-31+g(d,p) basis set. Vibration frequency calculations show that the glucose binding of a sila-dodecahedrane has a stable bond. These nano-baits with photoluminescence determine the location of cancer cells. By adjusting the number of glucoses attached to these nano-baits, the energy required for their excitation and light response can be adjusted. These nano-baits are a viable alternative to radioactive materials for locating cancer cells.

<p>The chemistry of vanadyl porphyrins has been explored using vanadyl octaethylporphyrin as a substance in petroleum porphyrins, crude oils and bitumen. The structural, electronic, thermodynamic, spectroscopic properties are described. The geometry’s optimization of this molecule was done by Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the hybrid Beck three-parameter hybrid functional combined with Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) and 6-31G(d) standard basis set. All calculations have been made in the gas phase and in different solvents: benzene, benzonitrile, tetrachloromethane and chloroform. The calculated infrared spectrum was compared with experimental spectroscopic data, and the vibrational assignment was provided. An electron density analysis in terms of natural bond orbitals was conducted to determine the nature of the bonds between the vanadium and nitrogen atoms. The spatial representation of the associated molecular orbitals helped to explain the formation of the V-N bonds and to interpret the chemical reactivity of the compound studied. The electrostatic potential was calculated in order to investigate the reaction properties of the molecule.<strong></strong></p>

A series of chiral [6]helicenes have been designed using the molecular engineering of organic nonlinear optical materials. The geometries of [6]helicenes 1, 2, 3, 4,5 are optimized using density functional theory (DFT-B3LYP) method at the 6-31g (d, p) basis set level. Based on the obtained stable molecular configuration, we adopt the TDHT/PM3 method and time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) to calculate the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and electronic spectra of these molecules. Results show that the static hyperpolarizability βµ alternates between positive value and negative value, whereas it remains positive for the molecues 2 and 3 which have medium magnitudes βµ, 3.4×10-30esu and 9.6×10-30esu respectively. In molecule 5, there exists two competitive charge transfers that reduce the hyperpolarizability β.

AbstractThe structural, nonlinear optical, electronic and thermodynamic properties of andirobin molecule were carried out by density functional theory at the B3LYP, WB97XD level and at the Restricted Hartree–Fock level by employing 6–311G(d,p) basis set. The obtained values of bond lengths, bond angles, 1H NMR and 13C NMR are in good agreement with experimental values. The dipole moment and first static hyperpolarizability show that andirobin can be applied in nonlinear optical devices. HOMO–LUMO energy gap values were found to be greater than 4 eV and lead us to the conclusion that this molecule can be used as insulator in many electronic devices. The thermal energy (E), molar heat capacity at constant volume $$(C_{v}$$ ( C v ) and entropy (S) were also calculated.

The theoretical study of chrysanthemin (cyanidin 3-glucoside) as a pigment for TiO2-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was performed with the GAUSSSIAN 09 simulation. The electronic spectra of neutral and anionic chrysanthemin molecules were calculated by density functional theory with B3LYP functional and DGDZVP basis set. A better energy level alignment was found for partially deprotonated molecules of chrysanthemin, with the excited photoelectron having enough energy in order to be transferred to the conduction band of TiO2 semiconductor in DSSCs. In addition, we used the raw aqueous extracts of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) calyces as the source of chrysanthemin and the extracts with various pH values were tested in DSSCs. The extracts and photosensitized semiconductor layers were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and DSSCs based on raw extracts were characterized by current density-voltage measurements.

Abstract Chitosan/ Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (CS/PVP) semi-natural polymeric blend involving gradient concentrations of ZnS nanoparticles (ZnS-NPS) was prepared via a simple casting method. In conjunction with computational density functional theory approaches (DFT), prepared samples were characterized by UV/Vis spectrophotometric studies and Fourier transform infrared measurements (FTIR) to take into account a detailed description of the different reaction mechanisms within the polymeric matrices. To conduct all calculations, the Becke three-parameter hybrid functional (B3LYP) correlation function used with the electron core potential basis set LANL2DZ was used. A detailed study for different reaction regimes was studied and reaction via Oxygen was observed to be preferred and compatible with that of the experimental data. UV/vis. Absorption experimental data were used to calculate the optical energy gap using the Mott-Davis equation and observed data was found to follow an indirect transition route.

AbstractUsing density functional theory (DFT) methods, we shed light on the structural, optical, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of three derivatives of 9,12-diiodo-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12) (C2H10B10I2). The DFT and time-dependent DFT methods are considered very precise and practical to optimize the ground and excited state geometries, respectively. A vibrant intramolecular charge transfer from highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) was observed in all compounds. The geometrical parameters of the experimental crystal structure, i.e. bond lengths/angles, have been successfully reproduced. The HOMO and LUMO energies, as well as their energy gaps (Eg), were also calculated and compared with each other for all derivatives. The effect of attached groups on electronic, optical, and NLO properties along with detailed structure-property relationship was discussed. For NLO response, the CAM-B3LYP functional along with relatively larger basis set 6-31+G** (for hydrogen, carbon, boron, and oxygen atoms) and LANL2DZ (for iodine atoms) have been used to optimize the compounds at ground states. The calculation of second-order NLO polarizabilities (βtot) shows that compounds 2 and 3 possess the βtot amplitudes of 3029 and 4069 a.u., respectively, with CAM-B3LYP method that are reasonably larger than similar prototype molecules. Owing to their unique V-shapes, the nonlinear anisotropy values are found to be 0.63, 0.34, and 0.44 for compounds 1–3, respectively, which show the significant two-dimensional character of these compounds. Thus, the NLO amplitudes as well as the nonlinear anisotropies indicate that the above-entitled compounds are good contenders for optical and NLO applications.

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) is a newly developed branch of radio frequency (RF) spectroscopic technique, allowing the detection of many substances containing quadrupole nuclei, such as14N and35Cl, widely existing in explosives and narcotics respectively. In this paper, we focus on the research of its detection mechanism for14N in urea and thiourea. Based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT), employing Beckes three-parameter hybrid functional combined with Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional (B3LYP), with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, we have obtained the quantum chemical calculations by using Gaussian 09. Furthermore, experimental results and some discussions related are also presented. At last, we find that the absolute values of relative errors of NQR frequencies are all less than 2%, which indicates that this study is reasonable.
