چکیده

The binding energy and electronic coupling of perylenediimide (PDI) pi-stacked dimers were calculated using M06-2X/6-31++G** as a function of stacking geometry. Due to shallow minima in the potential energy surface, electronic coupling can vary by over an order of magnitude among energetically accessible geometries. The coupling was then determined for 20 PDI derivatives with various substitutions at the imide region, and several were identified as the most promising candidates for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). This strategy of side-by-side comparison of binding energy and electronic coupling may prove useful for other pi-stacked OTFTs such as pentacene and poly(thiophene) derivatives.

Antimalarial Activity of some Conjugated Arylhydrazones: Ab Initio Calculation of Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants (NQCC)

“Malaria” is a life-threatening blood disease in tropical regions that spreads by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. Antimalarial medications are designed to cure or prevent this infection, and prosperous achievements in this area mostly depend on the knowing the drug-receptor interactions and active sites of medicine. This improvement can be achieved through understanding the electronic struc...

Probing conformational dynamics in single donor-acceptor synthetic molecules by means of photoinduced reversible electron transfer.

We use single-molecule fluorescence lifetimes to probe dynamics of photoinduced reversible electron transfer occurring between triphenylamine (donor) and perylenediimide (acceptor) in single molecules of a polyphenylenic rigid dendrimer embedded in polystyrene. Here, reversible electron transfer in individual donor-acceptor molecules results in delayed fluorescence that is emitted with a high p...
