Five new acceptors, namely, E1, E2, E3, E4, and E5, are used to substitute the end group of reference molecule.

All the engineered molecules (D1-D5) had smaller energy gap (4.50–4.71 eV) compared with reference (4.75 eV) and absorption maxima in the range of 443.37–482.67 nm in solvent phase due to end-cap acceptor modification. Fabricated molecules (D1-D5) showed smaller electron reorganizational energy values (0.18–0.27 eV) and <i>V</i><sub>oc</sub> ranging from 1.94 to 2.40 eV.

The (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> dimer is a relatively simple molecular system composed of two carbon disulfide (CS<sub>2</sub>) molecules interacting with each other through intermolecular forces. Despite its apparent simplicity, the (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> dimer exhibits a rich array of structural and dynamical properties that are of great interest to researchers. In this research, we present an ab initio study of the intermolecular interactions in the carbon disulfide dimer (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> using an improved Lennard–Jones (ILJ) potential with CCSD(T)/QZVPP calculations. The potential energy surface of (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> is calculated using high-level quantum mechanical calculations based on the CCSD(T)/def2-qzvpp method, which accurately accounts for electron correlation effects. The resulting potential energy surface is then fitted to an ILJ potential energy function, which includes both long-range dipole–dipole interactions and short-range repulsive interactions. The calculated potential energy surface reveals a rich variety of structural and dynamical properties of (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, including multiple minima and saddle points, which are sensitive to the relative orientation of the two CS<sub>2</sub> molecules. It is essential to use extended basis sets to accurately incorporate the significant quadrupole moment of CS<sub>2</sub>, which we have calculated to be 2.44 a.u. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of using high-level ab initio methods for the accurate calculation of potential energy surfaces in complex molecular systems such as (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. The use of an ILJ potential, which takes into account both dipole–dipole interactions and short-range repulsive interactions, provides a more accurate and efficient approach for modeling intermolecular interactions in (CS<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and other similar systems.
