${\pi}$-공액계 분자에 대해, density functional theory (DFT) 방법에 기반한 일반적인 삼중항 구조 최적화 방법들, 즉, 시간 의존적 DFT (TD-DFT), Tamm-Dancoff 근사법에 기반한 TD-DFT (TDA-DFT), 그리고 스핀-비제한 DFT (UDFT)에 대한 점검을 수행하였다. 모델 분자로서 1,2,3,4,5-pentacyano-6-phenyl-benzene가 이용되었고, 6-31G(d) 기저 함수와 더불어 여기 상태 계산에 최근 자주 사용되는 에너지 차 조정 영역 분리 functional인 ${\omega}B97X$ functional이 사용되었다. 계산 결과 평형 구조 근처에서, UDFT 최적화된 구조는 TD-DFT 및 TDA-DFT 계산 구조와는 다른 차이점을 보인다. 즉, 보다 안정한 바닥 상태 에너지와 보다 높은 삼중항 여기 에너지가 UDFT 최적화 구조에서 보인다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차이에 대해 보다 자세히 토의된다.

The accurate prediction of vertical excitation energies is very important for the development of new materials in the dye and pigment industry. A time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approach coupled with 22 different exchange-correlation functionals was used for the prediction of vertical excitation energies in the halogenated copper phthalocyanine molecules in order to find the most appropriate functional and to determine the accuracy of the prediction of the absorption wavelength and observed spectral shifts. Among the tested functional, B3LYP functional provides much more accurate vertical excitation energies and UV-vis spectra. Our results clearly provide a benchmark calibration of the TD-DFT method for phthalocyanine based dyes and pigments used in industry.

The compound 3-(2-Mercaptopyridine)phthalonitrile has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-vis, and X-ray single-crystal determination. The molecular geometry from X-ray determination of the title compound in the ground state has been compared using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The calculated results show that the DFT and HF can well reproduce the structure of the title compound. The energetic behavior of the title compound in solvent media was examined using the B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and polarizable continuum model. Using the TD-DFT and TD-HF methods, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and good agreement with the TD-DFT method and the experimental determination was found. The predicted nonlinear optical properties of the title compound are much greater than those of urea. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations. The thermodynamic properties of the compound at different temperatures have been calculated and corresponding relations between the properties and temperature have also been obtained.

A series of dimethine cyanine dyes were synthesized in a fast, efficient and high yield by the condensation of quaternary salts with 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde in the presence of piperidine under solvent-free microwave irradiation. The products were identified by 1H NMR, IR, UV-Vis spectra and elemental analysis. The absorption and fluorescence properties of these dyes were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Calculations performed at a combination of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the polarizable continuum model (PCM) reproduced the π-π* type absorption bands of the dyes. Regression analysis was used for studying theoretical results of the absorption maxima in different solvents. Compared with experimental counterparts, estimated overall uncertainties in the absorption maxima were about ±2%.

Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations have been employed to investigate the molecular structures and absorption spectra of three D-${\pi}$-A-type organic dyes (C1-1, D5 and TH208) containing identical ${\pi}$-spacers and electron acceptors, but different aromatic amine electron-donating groups (tetrahydroquinoline, triphenylamine and phenothiazine). The coplanar geometries indicate that the strong conjugation is formed in the dyes. The electronic structures suggest that the intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor occurs, and the electron-donating ability of tetrahydroquinoline is stronger than those of triphenylamine and phenothiazine. The computed orbital energy levels of these dyes confirm that the electrons could be injected from the excited dyes to the semiconductor conduction band and the oxidized dyes could be reduced effectively by electrolyte. The TD-DFT results show that the CAM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) is suitable for calculating the absorption spectra. The first absorption band for these dyes is assigned to the HOMO${\rightarrow}$LUMO and HOMO-1${\rightarrow}$LUMO transitions.

Dipyrene-based fluorescent chemosensor(분자 1)가 개발되었다. 분자 1은 여러 금속이온 중 $Cu^{2+}$와 $Hg^{2+}$의 fluorescent chemosensor로서 센싱할 수 있고, excimer-switch off mechanism에 따라 $Cu^{2+}$와 $Hg^{2+}$ 금속이온을 감지한다. Ground state와 excited state에 대한 DFT와 TD-DFT 방법을 통해 분자 1의 $Hg^{2+}$에 대한 형광 turn on/off을 확인하고, 구조변화에 따른 molecular orbital을 계산하였다. 계산결과 분자 1은 excited state에서 excimer를 형성할 수 있으나 $1+Hg^{2+}$는 excimer를 형성하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 여기서 우리는 분자 1과 $Hg^{2+}$ 금속이온 결합에 대하여 실험값과 비교 분석하여 그 메커니즘 조사하였다.

Solar cells based on p-conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) organic molecular systems are a promising alternative to conventional electrical energy generation. D-A molecular systems, which have a triphenylamine (TPA) moiety linked with a benzothiadiazole (BTD) moiety, open the potential development of new small molecule donors for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. Here, a series of donor-acceptor-π-acceptor (D-A-π-A) small molecule donors (SMD) derived from triphenylamine (TPA) donor and benzothiadiazole (BTD) acceptor building blocks, were designed for BHJ organic solar cells. The small molecule donors SMD1-4 were studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent-DFT (TDDFT) methods, to understand the effect of cyano and fluorine group functionalization on their properties. The effect of structure alteration by cyano and fluorine group functionalization on the optoelectronic properties, the calculated highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) and the HOMO-LUMO gaps were theoretically explored. The V_oc (open-circuit photovoltage) and fill factor (FF) for SMD1-4 were obtained with a PC₇₁BM acceptor, which showed that these organic small molecules are potential small molecule donors for organic bulk heterojunction solar cells.
