Is C50 a superaromat? Evidence from electronic structure and ring current calculations.
The fullerene-50 is a 'magic number' cage according to the 2(N + 1)(2) rule. For the three lowest isomers of C50 with trigonal and pentagonal symmetries, we calculate the sphericity index, the spherical parentage of the occupied π-orbitals, and the current density in an applied magnetic field. The minimal energy isomer, with D3 symmetry, comes closest to a spherical aromat or a superaromat. In ...
متن کاملElectronic structure and excitations in oligoacenes from ab initio calculations.
Oligoacenes C(4n+2)H(2n+4) (n=2,...,6) are studied using a variety of ab initio methods. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized geometries were in good agreement with experiment. Vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials and electron affinities were computed with DFT and it was found that standard exchange-correlation (xc) functionals underestimate ionization potentials in oligoacenes. Po...
متن کاملParallelism in Electronic Structure Calculations
Electronic structure calculations demonstrate poor scaling behavior for large systems. Expensive correction procedures are often necessary to obtain good results, and many of these methods, such as MP2, scale as poorly as O(N^5). With such large problems, proper exploitation of parallelism is essential to make the computation tractable. Therefore, in this class, I want to obtain a fundamental u...
متن کاملWavelets for electronic structure calculations
In 2005, the EU FP6-STREP-NEST BigDFT project funded a consortium of four laboratories, with the aim of developing a novel approach for Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations based on Daubechies wavelets. Rather than simply building a DFT code from scratch, the objective of this three-years project was to test the potential benefit of a new formalism in the context of electronic structure...
متن کاملTD-DFT Calculations, Electronic Structure, Biological Activity, NBO, NLO Analysis and Electronic Absorption Spectra of Some 3-Formylchromone Derivatives
The electronic structure and spectra of 3-formylchromone and some of its derivatives are investigated using TD-DFT/B3LYB/6-311G (d, p) level of theory. The results of calculations show that all the studied compounds 1–6 are planar, as indicated from the dihedral angles. The electronic absorption spectra of the studied compounds are recorded in the UV-Vis region, in both ethanol (as polar solven...
