A class of new conjugated copolymers containing a donor (thiophene)-acceptor (2-pyran-4-ylidene-malononitrile) was synthesized via Stille coupling polymerization. The resulting copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, GPC, TGA, and DSC. UV-vis spectra indicated that the increase in the content of the thiophene units increased the interaction between the polymer main chains t...

The conducting polymers (CPs) are the important materials due to their large surface area, high thermal stability, good conductivity, easy shape, process and properties can be tuned by modifying structures or processing. Few have emerged as potential candidate for determination of a few anti-cancer drugs. In present study, sensing ability Poly-pyrrole (poly-py) has been investigated with withou...

using the computational methods, the interaction effect of tyrosine amino acid on graphene wasinvestigated. for this purpose, the density functional theory (dft) in the ground state of 6-31gwas used, and the interaction effects of tyrosine on graphene was investigated through attachmentto three different base positions. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount ofchemical shift in ...

one main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. in the present work, we replaced the ch group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. then, density functional theory (dft) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic si-n aromatic rings. full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at b3lyp level using 6-311++g(d,p) and cbsb7 basis ...

in this study the hardness swct was calculated with b3lyp,hf method and 3-21g,6-31g,6-311g basis set .then it was investigated with the best method(b3lyp) and basis set(6-31g) to study the adsorption effects co2 on the hardness of swcnt with gap homo-lumo in two shape: horizontal, vertical and top-center-bridge and we also provide the effects of co2 adsorption on the electronic properties(dos) ...

The difference between oxide and hydrogen passivation of small Si nanocrystals is explored by all-electron, hybrid functional DFT calculations with unrestricted geometry optimization. Oxide passivation lowers the band gap by about 2.4 eV for Si35 cores and by about 1.5 eV for Si66 cores. The oxide-passivated nanocrystals have optically forbidden, indirect-gap-type transitions whereas the hydrog...

Two new photosensitizers featured with a cyanoacrylic acid electron acceptor (A) and a hybrid electron donor (D) of cyclopentadithiophene and dithiafulvenyl, either directly linked or separated by a phenyl ring, were synthesized and characterized. Both of them undergo two reversible oxidations and strongly absorb in the visible spectral region due to a photo-induced intramolecular charge-transf...

We report the results of a theoretical study of sequential oxidation of gallium oxide clusters from Ga3O4 to Ga3O8. These results, based on density functional theory calculations, find the ground state of the neutral clusters to be in the lowest spin state with nearly the same binding energy of 3.5 eV per atom. Electron affinity, ionization potential and HOMO–LUMO gap values of these oxygen-ric...
