چکیده

Potential energy curves along the inter-planar coordinates have been calculated for the dimers of two perylene derivatives (PTCDI and PTCDA) by using MP2 and dispersion corrected DFT (DFT-D) methods with B3LYP, B97 and PBE0 density functionals. The performance of dispersion-correcting potentials (DCPs) for describing intermolecular van der Waals interactions was also tested in conjunction with PBE0 and B971 functionals. Analytical potential energy curves were derived at different levels of theory by fitting the calculated data to modified Morse, Murrell-Sorbie, Buckingham and Lennard-Jones potentials. Potential energy surfaces for the two types of dimers were explored at the PBE0-DCP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory in order to assess the effects of geometrical perturbations (displacements and/or rotations) on the stability of the dimers. Two minima were located for each perylene derivative, depending on the starting geometries of the dimers. Inter-monomer geometrical parameters of fully and partially optimized dimeric structures, as well as their relative stability, are discussed in comparison to available experimental data and other theoretical results on these or similar compounds.

London dispersion forces by range separated hybrid density functional with second order perturbational corrections (RSH+MP2): the case of rare gas complexes

A satisfactory account of the van der Waals (London dispersion) forces is, in general, not possible by the Kohn-Sham method using standard local, semi-local GGA or meta-GGA density functionals. The recently proposed range-separated hybrid (RSH) approach, supplemented by second order perturbational corrections (MP2) to include long range dynamic correlation effects offers a physically consistent...

Dispersion interactions in silicon allotropes.

van der Waals interactions are known to play a key role in the formation of weakly bound solids, such as molecular or layered crystals. Here we show that the correct quantum-chemical description of van der Waals dispersion is also essential for a correct description of the relative stability between purely covalently-bound solids like silicon allotropes. To this end, we apply periodic local MP2...

Modelling excited states of weakly bound complexes with density functional theory.

The binding within the ethene-argon and formaldehyde-methane complexes in the ground and electronically excited states is studied with equation of motion coupled cluster theory (EOM-CCSD), second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and density functional theory with dispersion corrections (DFT-D). Electronically excited states are studied within MP2 and Kohn-Sham DFT formalisms by ex...
