Abstract The Br2 and Cl2 interaction with the intrinsic, and Co-doped graphyne nanosheets has been explored by density functional theory calculations. Two vertical and parallel configurations were identified for Br2 and Cl2 adsorption. Calculations showed that the adsorption of Br2 was stronger than Cl2 on the graphyne nanosheet. Neither Br2 nor Cl2 could make serious changes to the HOMO-LUMO gap (Eg) and electrical resistance pf pristine sheet. By manipulating the structure of pristine graphyne by Co atom, its reactivity and sensitivity dramatically improved toward Br2 and Cl2 gases. Compared to the Cl2, the Br2 much more decreases the electrical resistance and Eg of the Co-doped graphyne (~ -40.25%). Thus, the Co-doped graphyne may selectively recognize the Br2 gas in the presence of Cl2. The computed recovery time value for Br2 from the surface of the Co-doped graphyne is 36.4 s, which shows that the graphyne, as a sensor, benefits from a short recovery time to detect Br2.

A facile synthesis of 2,4-diaryl-9-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroacridine derivatives is reported which is based on POCl3-mediated cyclodehydration followed by double Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the obtained products were investigated and their HOMO/LUMO energy levels were estimated by cyclic voltammetry measurements. Besides, density functional theory calculations were carried out for further exploration of their electronic properties.

AbstractThe functionalisation of C60 fullerene with 2,3-dimethylene-1,4-dioxane (I) and 2,5-dioxabicyclo [4.2.0]octa-1(8),6-diene (II) was investigated by the use of density functional theory calculations in terms of its energetic, structural, field emission, and electronic properties. The functionalisation of C60 with I was previously reported experimentally. The I and II molecules are preferentially attached to a C—C bond shared and located between two hexagons of C60 via [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions bearing reaction energies of −15.9 kcal mol−1 and −72.4 kcal mol−1, respectively. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap and work function of C60 are significantly reduced following completion of the reactions. The field electron emission current of the C60 surface will increase after functionalisation of either the I or II molecule.
