In the context of helical chirality, bridging of biphenyl units leads to banister-type compounds and the stability of the resulted atropisomers may increase dramatically if suitable changes are performed in the linker unit that coils around the biphenyl moiety. A rigorous density functional theory (DFT) study was conducted for macrocycles containing rigid oxime ether segments connected to the biphenyl backbone in order to determine how the rotation barriers are influenced by the presence of either a flexible oligoethyleneoxide or a more rigid m–xylylene component in the macrocycle. The calculated values for the racemization barrier were in good agreement with those obtained experimentally and confirm the benefit of introducing a more rigid unit in the macrocycle on the stability of atropisomers. Solid-state data were obtained and computed data were used to assess the contribution brought by supramolecular associations observed in the lattice to the stabilization of the crystal structure. Beside introducing rigidity in the linker, complexation of flexible macrocycles with alkali metal ions is also contributing to the stability of atropisomers, leading to values for the racemization barrier matching that of the rigid macrocycle. Using diethylammonium cation as guest for the macrocycle, a spectacular increase in the barrier to rotation was observed for the resulted pseudo[2]rotaxane.

The ground structure, elastic and electronic properties of several phases of NbN are determined based on ab initio total-energy calculations within the framework of density functional theory. Among the five crystallographic structures that have been investigated, the hexagonal phases have been found to be more stable than the cubic ones. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental results. The elastic constants of five structures in NbN are calculated, which are in consistent with the obtained theoretical and experimental data. The corresponding Debye temperature and elastic ansitropies are also obtained. The Debye temperature of NbN in various structures consistent with available experimental and theoretical data, in which the Debye temperature of δ-NbN is highest. The anisotropies of ZB-NbN, NaCl-NbN, CsCl-NbN gradually increases. For hexagonal structure, the anisotropies of ε-NbN are stronger than that of δ-NbN. The electronic structures of NbN under pressure are investigated. It is found that NbN have metallization and the hybridizations of atoms in NbN under pressure become stronger.

Functional Theory

Density functional theory (DFT) has been used in many fields of the physical sciences, but none so successfully as in the solid state. From its origins in condensed matter physics, it has expanded into materials science, high-pressure physics and mineralogy, solid-state chemistry and more, powering entire computational subdisciplines. Modern DFT simulation codes can calculate a vast range of structural, chemical, optical, spectroscopic, elastic, vibrational and thermodynamic phenomena. The ability to predict structure–property relationships has revolutionized experimental fields, such as vibrational and solid-state NMR spectroscopy, where it is the primary method to analyse and interpret experimental spectra. In semiconductor physics, great progress has been made in the electronic structure of bulk and defect states despite the severe challenges presented by the description of excited states. Studies are no longer restricted to known crystallographic structures. DFT is increasingly used as an exploratory tool for materials discovery and computational experiments, culminating in ex nihilo crystal structure prediction, which addresses the long-standing difficult problem of how to predict crystal structure polymorphs from nothing but a specified chemical composition. We present an overview of the capabilities of solid-state DFT simulations in all of these topics, illustrated with recent examples using the CASTEP computer program.

The single crystal X-ray structure of new 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 1, is triclinic P I–, a = 7.7113(8), b = 12.3926(14), c = 12.9886(12) Å, α = 92.008(8), β = 102.251(8), γ = 99.655(9)°. The structural arrangement is compared to that of 5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 5, whose single crystal structure is found tetragonal I41/a, a = b = 11.684(1), c = 19.158(1) Å. The comparison is also extended to the structures previously determined for 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-propyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 2, 1,1’-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 3, and 1,1’-bis(benzyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 4. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to investigate the molecular geometries and to determine the global reactivity parameters. The geometry of isolated molecules and the molecular arrangements in the solid state are analyzed according to the nature of the groups connected to the bipyrazole core.

This is the first study of the crystal structure of cardamonin (CA) confirmed using single-crystal XRD analysis. In the crystal lattice of CA, two symmetry independent molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds within the layers and by the π···π stacking interactions in the columns which lead to the occurrence of two types of conformations among the CA molecules in the crystal structure. To better understand the stability of these arrangements in both crystals and the gaseous phase, seven different CA dimers were theoretically calculated. The molecular structures were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6–311G+(d,p) level and the spectroscopic results were compared. It was found that the calculated configurations of dimer I and III were almost identical to the ones found in the CA crystal lattice. The calculated UV-Vis spectra for the CA monomer and dimer I were perfectly consistent with the experimental spectroscopic data. Furthermore, enhanced emissions induced by aggregated CA molecules were registered in the aqueous solution with the increase of water fractions. The obtained results will help to further understand the relation between a variety of conformations and the biological properties of CA, and the results are also promising in terms of the applicability of CA as a bioimaging probe to monitor biological processes.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated crystal structure of cellulose triacetate I (CTA I) by using first principal density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results are in good agreement with the experimentally obtained crystal structure when we used the cutoff energy higher than 70 Ry. However, the cell parameters calculated without dispersion correction are overestimated the results compared to the experimental value. Contrary, with the inclusion of dispersion correction, the cell parameters were calculated slightly smaller than the experimental one. The smaller cell parameter can be considered to be reasonable because the effect of the thermal expansion is not included in the density functional calculation. That is, inclusion of the dispersion term is important in the calculation of this crystal structure of CTA I.

Applying relativistic density functional theory to isomers of C 78 and M 2@ C 78( M = La , Ce ), we calculate and analyze the relative energies and HOMO–LUMO gaps of neutral and hexaanion ( -6 charged) C 78 isomers. Our results indicate that the [Formula: see text] (5) isomer is the most stable, and it illustrate that electron transfer plays an important role in controlling the stability of endohedral metallofullerenes. We also calculate the electronic structures of there neutral isomers, and based on their LUMO + 2 and LUMO + 3 gaps, we explain why it is easier to encage two metal atoms in D3h′ (78:5). To further elucidate this issue, we theoretically characterize M 2@ C 78( M = La , Ce ) and compare the relative energies and the HOMO–LUMO gap of the two isomers M 2@ C 78 (4) and the M 2@ C 78 (5) ( M = La , Ce ). The results indicate that M 2@ C 78 (5) is more stable than M 2@ C 78 (4). Furthermore, the good agreement between the experimental and computed 13C NMR chemical shift of the isomer M 2@ C 78 (5) provided strong evidence that M 2@ C 78 forms a D3h′ (78:5) cage.

Abstract We have investigated the structures, electronic properties, hole and electron mobilities of fluorinated and chlorinated nanographene of benzo[o]bistriphenyleno[2,1,12,11-efghi:2',1',12',11'-uvabc]ovalene (TCHG) molecules, us- ing the density functional theory (DFT) and Markus-Hush charge transfer theory. The calculated geometric parameters and the IR spectrum for chlorinated TCHG are in good agreement with the experimental data. Our theoretical investigations have shown that fluorination and chlorination significantly reduce the bandgap energy of TCHG. The obtained adiabatic electron affinities (AEAs) values are 2.76 and 2.93 eV respectively, indicating the air-stable materials. The calculation of charge carriers mobilities in chlorinated dimer shows that the mobility of the electrons is ten times that of the holes, suggesting an n-type behavior. We have shown that the fluorination and chlorination of TCHG are promising pathways for the design of new materials useful in optoelectronics

The title compound, C23H28F3NO, is an ortho-hydroxy Schiff base compound, which adopts the enol–imine tautomeric form in the solid state. The molecular structure is not planar and the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings is 85.52 (10)°. The trifluoromethyl group shows rotational disorder over two sites, with occupancies of 0.798 (6) and 0.202 (6). An intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonding generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal structure is consolidated by C—H...π interactions. The molecular structure was optimized via density functional theory (DFT) methods with the B3LYP functional and LanL2DZ basis set. The theoretical structure is in good agreement with the experimental data. The frontier orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential map were also examined by DFT computations.
