Effect Different Donors And Acceptors On Quantum Chemical Parameters of Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbon
Abstract Exchange-correlation functional B3LYP with standard 6-31G basis sets was carried out for DFT calculations of pure zigzag GNR and two of donor-GNR-acceptor structures. The results showed good relax was obtained for studied structures. Pure zigzag GNR has small energy gap and it was reduced by adding donors and acceptors to the ribbon depending on the type of both donor and acceptor. Donor-GNRs-Acceptor have low value of global electrochemical hardness and high electronic softness than those for pure GNR, an electron can be easily transfer from valence to conduction band. Also, the electrophilic index for GNR in case of presence of donors and acceptors is greater than that for pure GNR, therefore, donor-GNRs-acceptor can easily interact with surrounding species in comparison with pure GNR. Generally, 3-D materials was constructed based on 2-D graphene can be used for different electronic applications.
