A new organic compound, 1-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)urea was synthesized from 2-nitroaniline, 3,5-difluoroaniline and triphosgene in sequential two steps with 92% yield. The product crystallized by the slow evaporation using THF ethyl acetate solvent system to obtain its single crystal. pure crystals were characterized melting point, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR MS. structure of compound ...

Based on the molecular structure of novel fluorenone derivative named FO52, a series new molecules have been designed by extending its π-conjugated bridge and introducing electron donor or acceptor substituents. The electronic transition second-order non-linear optical response properties these derivatives were theoretically studied in detail using density functional theory computational method...

In this article, we summarize the synthetic approaches developed in our research groups during last decade to efficiently tune optical, electrochemical and morphological characteristics of oligothiophene–naphthalimide assemblies. Different variables were tuned these organic semiconductors, such as planarity length their ?-conjugated backbones, topology energy levels frontier molecular orbitals ...

The geometries, chemical shifts, aromaticity, and reactivity of finite-length open-ended armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been studied within density functional theory. The widely used model of capping hydrogen atoms at the open ends of a SWCNT changes the chemical activity of the SWCNT and destabilizes the frontier molecular orbitals. The edge pi-orbital of the open ends e...

Electron transport properties of B-fullerenes, B80 and B100, are investigated with the use of the first-principles density functional theory (DFT), in conjunction with the Landauer-Büttiker formalism and compared with C-fullerene, C60, under similar conditions. The differential conductance and the tunnel current for B-fullerenes sandwiched between Au contacts are calculated to be much higher th...

7,9-Dibromobenzo[h]quinolin-10-ol (1), a benzo[h]quinolin-10-ol derivative, was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Compound 1 exhibits an intramolecular six-membered-ring hydrogen bond, from which excited-state intramo...

The electronic and structural properties of retinal and four analogs were studied using semiempirical, ab initio Hartree-Fock, and density functional theory methods with the aim to evaluate the effects caused by some structural modifications in the ring bound to the polyenic chain and compared with the all-E-trans-retinal molecule. Therefore, some properties such as bond lengths, bond angles, a...

Porphyrins are widely used as dye molecules in solar cells. Knowing the energies of their frontier orbitals is crucial for optimizing the energy level structure of solar cells. We use near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to obtain the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) with respect to the N(1s) core level of the molecule. A systematic energy shif...

Observing the intricate chemical transformation of an individual molecule as it undergoes a complex reaction is a long-standing challenge in molecular imaging. Advances in scanning probe microscopy now provide the tools to visualize not only the frontier orbitals of chemical reaction partners and products, but their internal covalent bond configurations as well. We used noncontact atomic force ...

The energy of the frontier molecular orbitals and reactivity indices such as chemical potential, hardness, and electrophilicity of neutral and charged molecules have been investigated in aqueous solution using explicit model for the solvent with the sequential Monte Carlo/quantum mechanics methodology. The supermolecular structures of the solute-solvent system were generated by Monte Carlo simu...
