2016, Journal of Saudi Chemical SocietyCitation Excerpt :The most efficient strategy has been applied to design molecules which alternate donor–acceptor repeating units that are expected to have small gaps (Cravino and Sariciftci, 2002; Roquet et al., 2006). In parallel with new experimental results on these new materials, theoretical investigations have indeed begun to constitute an important source of valuable information which supplements the experimental studies, thereby contributing to the rationalization of the properties of known materials and the prediction of those yet unknown (Bouzakraoui et al., 2005, 2006; Zgou et al., 2008; Bouzzine et al., 2008; Mondal et al., 2010). In this context and in order to guide the synthesis of novel materials with low band gaps, quantum-chemical methods have been increasingly applied to predict the band gap of conjugated systems.
FTIR, Raman and NMR spectroscopic and DFT theoretical studies on poly(N-vinylimidazole)
2015, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular SpectroscopyCitation Excerpt :For the bridged or unbridged mono or heterocyclic polymers, comparisons between the theoretical and the experimental results are available in the literature. Previously published results show that while the computed energy gaps differ in the range of 4–5 eV for dimers and 2.5–3.5 eV for hexamers, the experimental gaps were found to be in between 2.0 and 3.0 eV for polymers [34–39]. When those published data and our results have been compared, we may conclude that our title polymer is expected to have larger energy gap with respect to bridged or unbridged mono or heterocyclic polymers.

2012, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular SpectroscopyCitation Excerpt :In fact, this conformation corresponds to the lowest point of the potential energy surface. As shown in Fig. 2, the fully optimized structure remains quasi planar and less twisted compared to polyphenylene Table 1 [10]. The torsion angle φ1 is evaluated to be in the average of 25° in the case of O0 and O1 between pristine polythiophene (5 Th) and polyphenylene (5 P).
On the applicability of the molecular dynamics SCC-DFTB treatment on optical spectra simulations for thiophene and phenyl containing oligomers
2012, Computational and Theoretical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :These molecules are very often built from the simple five- and six-membered aromatic chromophoric units. In the past two decades, extensive studies have been devoted to the syntheses, physical properties characterization and theoretical calculations of thiophene and/or phenylene derivatives [3,4]. It was also recovered that the thiophene and phenyl diblock conjugation results in the effective electron donor/acceptor system which exhibits a strong fluorescence.
