Abstract Optoelectronic and charge transport properties of eight novel compounds are presented in this work. Density functional theory B3LYP was utilized to optimize all structures while time-dependent density functional theory was utilized for vertical excitation characteristics. Gas and solvent phases (water, THF, and DCM) were evaluated to gain insight on solid-state and solution processed devices. While the solvent phases enhanced most of the charge transport properties, there was seen a blue-shift in their absorption wavelengths. However, C2, C4, C6, and C8 in THF absorption maxima were the highest and similar to those of the gas phase (605-652 nm). Extension of the polymer size decreased the HOMO-LUMO gap energy with C7 having the lowest energy gap in the gas phase. Although tuning the properties in optoelectronic devices is challenging, these findings will assist with the design of higher quality materials that could surpass the quality of inorganic devices.

Pyrene (C16H10) is an organic semiconductor which has wide applications in the field of organic electronics suitable for the development of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPV). In this work, Density Functional Theory (DFT) using Becke’s three and Lee Yang Parr (B3LYP) functional with basis set 6-311++G(d, p) implemented in Gaussian 03 package was  used to compute total energy, bond parameters, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, electron affinity, ionization potential, chemical reactivity descriptors, dipole moment, isotropic polarizability (α), anisotropy of polarizability ( Δ∝) total first order hyper-polarizability () and second order hyperpolarizability (). The molecules used are pyrene, 1-chloropyrene and 4-chloropyrene  in gas phase and in five different solvents: benzene, chloroform, acetone, DMSO and water. The results obtained show that solvents and chlorination actually influenced the properties of the molecules. The isolated pyrene in acetone has the largest value of HOMO-LUMO energy gap of and is a bit closer to a previously reported experimental value of  and hence is the most stable. Thus, the pyrene molecule has more kinetic stability and can be described as low reactive molecule. The calculated dipole moments are in the order of 4-chloropyrene (1.7645 D) < 1-chloropyrene (1.9663 D) in gas phase. The anisotropy of polarizability ( for pyrene and its derivatives were found to increase with increasing polarity of the solvents.  In a nutshell, the molecules will be promising for organic optoelectronic devices based on their computed properties as reported by this work.

A computational study has been performed for protonated oxygen- or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic derivatives of cyclopropane and cyclopropanone. We have searched for the most stable conformations of the protonated species using density functional theory with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(2df,p) basis set. More accurate enthalpy values were obtained from G4 calculations. Proton affinities and gas-phase basicities were accordingly derived.
