Abstract:

Density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations were carried out for the oligomers of 3, 4- Ethylenedioxythiophene –Aniline (EDOT-Ani), 3, 4-Ethylenedithiafurane- Aniline (EDTF-Ani) and Thieno [3,4-b] benzene-Aniline (PITN-Ani). Structural parameters, electrical conductivity, spectral properties and electronic properties like ionization potential (IPs), (EAs), HOMO-LUMO isosurfaces and energy gaps of EDOT-Ani, EDTF-Ani and PITN-Ani were calculated and compared using density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level which has been successful in predicting trends in conjugated systems. EDOT-Ani results show good correlation with our previous experimental data. The vibrational frequencies with their assignments are also in close agreement with experimental frequencies. The UV-vis spectra are simulated with TD-DFT/6-31G(d) level of theory and the Maximum wavelength (λmax), optical band gap (Egopt) and oscillator straight (f) of three oligomers were compared with each other and with experimental values. Among the studied copolymers, PITN-Ani shows the narrowest band gap which is attributed to its higher donor acceptor property compared to two other polymers.

Computational study on geometric and electronic properties of 3.6-carbazole based conjugated polymers

In this work, we present firstly a study based on the calculation of the local spin densities of radical cations, which is known as a good measure of reactivity for coupling reactions, to obtain a theoretical basis for the one-step formation of poly(3.6-carbazole) and derivatives. Then we detail a DFT theoretical study of the geometric and electronic properties of oligomers based on carbazole a...

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...

construction and validation of a computerized adaptive translation test (a receptive based study)

آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای (cat) روشی نوین برای سنجش سطح علمی دانش آموزان می باشد. در حقیقت آزمون های رایانه ای با سرعت بالایی به سمت و سوی جایگزین عملی برای آزمون های کاغذی می روند (کینگزبری، هاوسر، 1993). مقاله حاضر به دنبال آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای برای ترجمه می باشد. بدین منظور دو پرسشنامه مشتمل بر 55 تست ترجمه میان 102 آزمودنی و 10 مدرس زبان انگلیسی پخش گردید. پرسشنامه اول میان 102 دانشجوی س...

Photophysics of π-conjugated metal–organic oligomers*

The optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of PPE-type π-conjugated oligomers that contain a 2,2-bipyridine-5,5′-diyl metal coordinating unit have been examined. The spectra of the free oligomers are compared with those that contain –Re(CO)3Cl and –Ru(bpy)2 2+ chromophores chelated to the bpy-diyl unit.
