Organic π-conjugated polymers with a triplet ground state have been the focus of recent research for their interesting and unique electronic properties, arising from the presence of the two unpaired electrons. These polymers are usually built from alternating electron-donating and electron-accepting monomer pairs which lower the HOMO-LUMO gap and yield a triplet state instead of the typical singlet ground state. In this paper we use density functional theory calculations to explore the design rules that govern the creation of a ground state triplet conjugated polymer, and find that a small HOMO-LUMO gap in the singlet state is the best predictor for the existence of a triplet ground state, compared to previous use of pro-quinoidal character. This work can accelerate the discovery of new stable triplet materials by reducing the computa- tional resources needed for electronic-state calculations and the number of potential candidates for synthesis.

Nv Center

Paramagnetic defects in solids have become attractive systems for quantum computing as well as magnetometry in recent years. One of the leading contenders is the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy defect (NV center) in diamond proposed to be highly promising with respect the afore-mentioned applications. In our study we investigate the NCVSi defect in 3C, 4H and 6H SiC as alternative choices with superior properties. Electronic structure of NV center in SiC exhibits S = 1 triplet ground state with the possibility of optical spin polarization. On the other hand, our results obtained by density functional theory calculations may contribute to unambiguously identify the possible defect configurations.

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.

Energy Of Formation

Interaction of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene with nAl+mGa (n,m:1,2) admixture has been investigated within the constraints of density functional theory at the level of UB3LYP/6-311++G(d,p). Various multiplicity states arise for the composites due to the open-shell ground state electronic configurations of Al and Ga atoms. The composites are electronically stable, thermodynamically exothermic and have favorable Gibbs’ free energy of formation values. Various quantum chemical properties have been obtained and discussed. The calculated UV-VIS spectra indicate that some of the composites are infrared absorbing systems beyond 700 nm.

The configurations, stability, electronic properties and CO adsorption of the ground state Pd[Formula: see text]Al (n = 1–5) clusters are calculated by the density functional theory (DFT). The results reveal that the lowest-energy configurations of Pd[Formula: see text]Al clusters inherit the geometries of the host Pd[Formula: see text] clusters to a larger extent. The C atom in CO molecule prefers to approach more Pd atoms rather than Al atoms in small Pd[Formula: see text]Al clusters. Pd[Formula: see text]AlCO clusters have higher average binding energies than the corresponding small Pd[Formula: see text]CO clusters except for PdCO. AlCO and Pd3AlCO clusters possess better kinetic stability than their neighbors by the HOMO–LUMO gaps. Except for Pd6 clusters, CO molecule prefers to adsorb on small Pd[Formula: see text] clusters rather than Pd[Formula: see text]Al clusters. Both the Al–Pd bonding in Pd[Formula: see text]Al clusters and C–Pd bonding in Pd[Formula: see text]AlCO clusters have certain covalent characters.
