Therefore, we engineered 10 novel donor materials (SMH1–SMH10) containing phenanthrocarbazole-based polymeric structures for organic and PSCs. These molecules underwent bridging-core modifications using different spacers, such as furan (N1), pyrrole (N2), benzene (N3), pyrazine (N4), dioxane (N5), isoxazole (N6), isoindole (N7), indolizine (N8), double bond (N9), and pyrimidine (N10), in comparison to reference molecule R. The study examined the structure–property relationship and the impact of these modifications on the optical, photovoltaic, photophysical, and optoelectronic characteristics of the newly designed SMH1–SMH10 series. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were conducted to analyze frontier molecular orbitals, density of states, reorganization energies, open-circuit voltage, transition density matrix, and charge transfer processes. Results show that the newly designed molecules (SMH1–SMH10) exhibited superior optoelectronics characteristics compared to the R molecule. Among these, SMH4 is the most promising candidate, with a small band gap (2.79 eV), low electron and hole mobility (λe 0.0028 eV, λh 0.0020 eV), lower binding energy (Eb 0.58 eV), high λmax values (656.42 nm in gas, 573.34 nm in chlorobenzene), and a high Voc of 1.30 V.

This necessitates the development of efficient and ecofriendly catalysts. In recent years, frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have shown promise for CO2 utilization. In this study, we introduce α-aminodiboronic acid (DBA), a novel trifunctional aminoboronic acid, as an intramolecular FLP for converting CO2 into cyclic carbonate and formic acid. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we explored the reaction mechanism and investigated DBA's electronic structure through molecular electrostatic potential surface (MESP) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses. Our results reveal that one −B (OH)2 group induces an unusual state of frustration in the molecule due to charge transfer from the nitrogen atom's lone pair to the π* orbitals, enhancing catalytic performance. The additional −B (OH)2 group serves as an anchoring site for reactive species. The epoxide activation energy is reduced by approximately 27 kcal/mol compared to the uncatalyzed reaction, and the reduction of CO2 occurs with a requirement of 26 kcal/mol. The additional −B (OH)2 plays a crucial role in the catalytic mechanism and minimizes the energies of various structures observed in the reaction path. The reaction energetics align with structural analysis observations, marking this study as the first report on single-molecule trifunctional FLPs for transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16829,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry","volume":"37 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study endeavors to elucidate how the structure and noncovalent interactions impact the performance of N2H5N5/PDO through a first-principles investigation. The results indicate that the enhanced hydrogen bonding and wave-like crystal packing structure within the cocrystal effectively bolster its stability compared to N2H5N5.

In this case, we found that the extent of photoconversion was dictated in part by competitive main chain light absorption, which could be suppressed by using a photoswitching motif that carried most of the frontier molecular orbital densities. Here, we report the modeling and synthesis of a series of thieno[3,4‐b]thiophene (TT)‐based photochromes with various aromatic flankers imparting varying degrees of steric bulk and π‐conjugation in order to elucidate the balancing act between steric and electronic factors to promote photochromism.

A detailed theoretical study on the photophysical properties and excited-state behavior of fluorescent compounds of citrinin (Cit-O, Cit-S, and Cit-Se, with different atomic electronegativity) has been conducted, and the effect of electronegativity on the proton transfer in this system has been explained. First, the relevant hydrogen bond parameters and infrared vibrational spectra of the optimized geometrical configurations have been insightfully investigated. It is elucidated that the hydrogen bond is strengthened after photoexcitation, and it provides a driving force for excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). In addition, the frontier molecular orbitals were analyzed, and the intramolecular charge transfer process in all Cit systems, the phenomenon of charge redistribution, facilitates the ESIPT reaction. By constructing potential energy surfaces for different transfer paths, the atomic electronegativity impact on the ESIPT dynamical behavior of the Cit system was determined. This work clarifies the mechanism of the intramolecular proton transfer process in the excited state of citrinin molecules and complements the theoretical study of the atomic electronegativity-regulated citrinin system, which provides a corresponding theoretical basis for the design and synthesis of new luminescence-adjustable citrinin systems.","PeriodicalId":16829,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry","volume":"37 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
