Oxasmaragdyrin boron complexes were prepared and applied in DSSCs. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap analyses and theoretical calculations revealed that these expanded porphyrins are ideal sensitizers for DSSCs. A device containing oxasmaragdyrin-BF2 as the sensitizer achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 5.7%.

Herein, we report the study of atomically precise AuxAg25-x nanoclusters (NCs) toward photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The incorporation Au atoms into Ag25 NCs not only narrowed HOMO-LUMO gaps...

We have developed a chemical way of thinking about electron transport in molecules in terms of frontier orbital theory [1-4]. The phase and amplitude of the HOMO and LUMO of πconjugated molecules determine the essential properties of their electron transport. By considering a close relationship between Green’s function and the molecular orbital, we derived an orbital rule that would help our ch...

The research in the organic π-conjugated molecules and polymers based on thiophenehas become one of the most interesting topics in the field of chemistry physics and materials science. These compounds have become the most promising materials for the optoelectronic device technology.. The use of low band gap materials is a viable method for better harvesting of the solar spectrum and increasing ...

Abstract The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied (LUMO) energies, which are key factors in optoelectronic devices, must be accurately estimated for newly designed materials. Here, we developed a deep learning (DL) model that was trained with an experimental database containing the HOMO LUMO energies of 3026 organic molecules solvents or solids capable predicting mean...
