More than 50 different acceptor units from the experimental literature have been modeled, analyzed, and compared by using the computationally extracted data from the density functional theory (DFT) perspective for tetramer structures in the form of (D-B-A-B)4 (D, donor; A, acceptor; B, bridge) with fixed donor and bridge units. Comparison of dihedral angle between acceptor, donor, and bridge units, bond order, and hyperpolarizability reveals that these three structural properties have a dominant effect on the frontier electronic energy levels of the acceptor units. Systematic investigation of the structural properties has demonstrated the band gap energy dependency of the acceptor units on the planarity, conjugation, and the electron delocalization. Substitution effect, morphological alternation, and insertion of pi-electron deficient atoms in A unit have also an important role to determine physical properties of the donor-acceptor conjugated polymers. This benchmark study will be beneficial for the band gap engineering and molecular design of the donor-acceptor copolymers using different acceptor units for the organic electronic applications.

Adsorption of water and ammonia on TiO2-anatase cluster models

Önal, Işık; Senkan, Selim (2006-06-15)

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed at B3LYP/6-31G** level are employed to study water and ammonia adsorption and dissociation on (101) and (001) TiO2 anatase surfaces both represented by totally fixed and partially relaxed Ti2O9H10 cluster models. PM3 semiempirical calculations were also conducted both on Ti2O9H10 and Ti9O33H30 clusters in order to assess the effect of cluster size. Following dissociation, the adsorption of H2O and NH3 by H-bonding on previously H2O and NH3 dissociated s...
Modelling and experimental study of titanosilicate ets-10 : application for solar cells Koç, Mehmet; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2013) Density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the gradient-corrected approximation (GGA) have been carried out on three models of ETS-10 with the aim to elucidate the effect of ion exchange on the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of the Ti-O-Ti quantum wire. Our data are reveal the presence of two inequivalent Ti-O bonds along the chain in the ETS-10 sodium form, in agreement with past theoretical and experimental studies. The nature and spectral position of the ligand-to-metal charge...
Anisotropic Elastic and Lattice Dynamical Properties of Cr2AB MAX Phases Compounds Gencer, Ayşenur; Yılmaz, İnanç; Bayhan, Ülkü; Sürücü, Gökhan (2019-03-01) The structural, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of the MAX Phase borides compounds Cr2AB (A= Al, P, Si) have been investigated using the first principles calculations with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The obtained negative formation energies of Cr2AB indicate that these compounds are stable and could be synthesized. Some basic physical parameters such as lattice constants, elastic constants, bulk modulus, Shear modulus, Young’s modulus, a...
Kinetic study of the reaction between hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and isophorone diisocyanate in bulk by quantitative FTIR spectroscopy Kincal, D; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 1997-12-05) A kinetic study of the reaction between a hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was carried out in the bulk state by using quantitative Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. The reaction is shown to obey a second-order rate law, being first order in both the HTPB and IPDI concentrations. The activation parameters obtained from the evaluation of kinetic data are Delta H-double dagger = 41.1 +/- 0.4 kJ mol, Delta S-double dagger = -198 +/- 2 J K-1 mol(-1) and E-a...
Novel RDX-Based Cage and Cage-Like Nitramines Türker, Burhan Lemi; Bayar, Caglar Celik; Turhan, Hamza (Informa UK Limited, 2013-10-01) 1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX)-based cage and cage-like nitramines in which two RDX molecules are linked to each other via three and two carbon atoms, respectively, have been investigated computationally using density functional theory (DFT) at a B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theoretical level. The study focused on finding out how the quantum chemical and detonation properties of RDX change if two RDX molecules come together and form these structures. Both considered nitramines exhibited higher heats of for...
