We use time-dependent density functional theory and time-dependent ZINDO (a semi-empirical method) to study transfer of an extra electron between a pair of pentacene molecules. A measure of the electronic transfer integral is computed in a dynamic picture via the vertical excitation energy from a delocalized anionic ground state. With increasing dimer separation, this dynamical measurement of c...

A semiempirical molecular orbital method (CAChe) was applied to delineate the relationship between cytotoxicity against the human squamous cell carcinoma line HSC-2 (evaluated by 50% cytotoxic concentration, CC50) of 20 coumarin (2H-pyran-2-one) derivatives and twelve physical parameters (descriptors) calculated by the CONFLEX/PM3 method. There was a highly significant correlation between the C...

Chemical stabilities of six low-energy isomers of C24 derived from global-minimum search are investigated. The six isomers include one classical fullerene (isomer 1) whose cage is composed of only five- and six-membered rings (56-MRs), three nonclassical fullerene structures whose cages contain at least one four-membered ring (4-MR), one plate, and one monocyclic ring. Chemical and electronic p...

first-principle calculations were carried out to investigate the adsorption of co over cun nanoclusters. the structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties like optimized geometries, homo (highest occupied molecular orbital) and lumo (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy levels, binding energy, adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and density of states (doss) of the pure cun nan...

The interfacial electronic structures of a bilayer of fullerene (C60) and zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) grown on vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) thin films deposited using radio frequency sputtering under various conditions were studied using X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level of the ZnPc layer and the lowes...

The aim of the present study was to prepare new cluster (B6C4Si) as an antibiotic carrier. Density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP level of theory in conjugate with the 6-311G** basis set was used to evaluate the interaction between B6C4Si cluster and Penicillin. Binding parameters, HOMO, LUMO and HOMO- LUMO GAP were calculated. Results show the ‍ B6C4Si HOMO–LUMO gap value of 0.13...

The energy position of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) in 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and dimethyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxilic diimide (DiMePTCDI) was determined by investigating the energy level alignment at molecular semiconductor/GaAs(100) interfaces. Interface dipoles are found to form at the interfaces of both organic materials and consequently...

Five benzimidazolyl functionalized linear and star-shaped molecules have been synthesized using Ullmann condensation methods. These molecules all possess deep LUMO energy levels and large HOMO-LUMO energy gaps ranging from 3.55 to 3.95 eV. All five compounds are fluorescent with emission in the UV region, and display high thermal and morphological stability. One of these star-shaped molecules, ...
