Vibrational Properties and DFT Calculations of Perovskite-Type Methylhydrazinium Manganese Hypophosphite.

ABSTRACT: Recently discovered hybrid perovskites based on hypophosphite ligands are a promising class of compounds exhibiting unusual structural properties and providing opportunities for construction of novel functional materials. Here, we report for the first time the detailed studies of phonon properties of manganese hypophosphite templated with methylhydrazinium cations ([CH3NH2NH2][Mn(H2PO2)3]). Its room temperature vibrational spectra were recorded for both polycrystalline sample and a single crystal. The proposed assignment based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of the observed vibrational modes is also presented. It is worth noting this is first report on polarized Raman measurements in this class of hybrid perovskites.

Relativistic Four-Component DFT Calculations of Vibrational Frequencies.

Project description:We investigate the effect of relativity on harmonic vibrational frequencies. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian have been performed for 15 hydrides (H2X, X = O, S, Se, Te, Po; XH3, X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi; and XH4, X = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) as well as for HC≡CPbH3. The vibrational frequencies have been calculated using finite differences of the molecular energy with respect to geometrical distortions of the nuclei. The influences of the choice of basis set, exchange-correlation functional, and step length for the numerical differentiation on the calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies have been tested, and the method has been found to be numerically robust. Relativistic effects are noticeable for the heavier congeners H2Te and H2Po, SbH3 and BiH3, and SnH4 and PbH4 and are much more pronounced for the vibrational modes with higher frequencies. Spin-orbit effects constitute a very small fraction of the total relativistic effects, except for H2Te and H2Po. For HC≡CPbH3 we find that only the frequencies of the modes with large contributions from Pb displacements are significantly affected by relativity.

Optoelectronic Properties Prediction of Lead-Free Methylammonium Alkaline-Earth Perovskite Based on DFT Calculations.

Project description:Dynamical stability plays an essential role in phase transition and structure, and it could be a fundamental method of discovering new lead-free perovskite materials. The perovskite materials are well-known for their excellent optoelectronic properties, but the lead element inside could be a hindrance to future development. This research is trying to predict the promising cation candidates in the high-temperature application for lead-free perovskite materials from the replacement of lead in MAPbCl3 (MA = methylammonium) with alkaline-earth cations. The alkaline-earth cations are of a stable positive divalent sort, which is the same as Pb, and most of them are abundant in nature. Therefore, by improving the dynamical stability, the Mg2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+ cations replacement of lead ions could stabilize the perovskite structure by decreasing the imaginary part of phonon density of states. Finally, the density functional theory results show that the MACaCl3 could be a dynamic stable lead-free methylammonium perovskite material with an ultrawide band gap (5.96 eV).

Dispersion corrected DFT approaches for anharmonic vibrational frequency calculations: nucleobases and their dimers.

Project description:Computational spectroscopy techniques have become in the last few years an effective means to analyze and assign infrared (IR) spectra of molecular systems of increasing dimensions and in different environments. However, transition from compilation of harmonic data to fully anharmonic simulations of spectra is still underway. The most promising results for large systems have been obtained, in our opinion, by perturbative vibrational approaches based on potential energy surfaces computed by hybrid (especially B3LYP) density functionals and medium size (e.g. SNSD) basis sets. In this framework, we are actively developing a comprehensive and robust computational protocol aimed at quantitative reproduction of the spectra of nucleic acid base complexes and their adsorption on solid supports (organic/inorganic). In this contribution we report the essential results of the first step devoted to isolated monomers and dimers. It is well known that in order to model the vibrational spectra of weakly bound molecular complexes dispersion interactions should be taken into proper account. In this work we have chosen two popular and inexpensive approaches to model dispersion interactions, namely the semi-empirical dispersion correction (D3) and pseudopotential based (DCP) methodologies both in conjunction with the B3LYP functional. These have been used for simulating fully anharmonic IR spectra of nucleobases and their dimers through generalized second order vibrational perturbation theory (GVPT2). We have studied, in particular, isolated adenine, hypoxanthine, uracil, thymine and cytosine, the hydrogen-bonded and stacked adenine and uracil dimers, and the stacked adenine-naphthalene heterodimer. Anharmonic frequencies are compared with standard B3LYP results and experimental findings, while the computed interaction energies and structures of complexes are compared to the best available theoretical estimates.

Vibrational Dynamics of Crystalline 4-Phenylbenzaldehyde from INS Spectra and Periodic DFT Calculations.

Project description:The present work emphasizes the value of periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations in the assessment of the vibrational spectra of molecular crystals. Periodic calculations provide a nearly one-to-one match between the calculated and observed bands in the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectrum of crystalline 4-phenylbenzaldehyde, thus validating their assignment and correcting previous reports based on single molecule calculations. The calculations allow the unambiguous assignment of the phenyl torsional mode at ca. 118-128 cm-1, from which a phenyl torsional barrier of ca. 4000 cm-1 is derived, and the identification of the collective mode involving the antitranslational motion of CH···O bonded pairs, a hallmark vibrational mode of systems where C-H···O contacts are an important feature.

DFT studies on the structural and vibrational properties of polyenes.

Project description:Detailed density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the structure and harmonic frequencies of model all-trans and all-cis polyenes were undertaken. For the first time, we report on the convergence of selected B3LYP/6-311++G** and BLYP/6-311++G** calculated structural parameters resulting from a systematic increase in polyene size (chains containing 2 to 14 C?=?C units). The limiting values of the structural parameters for very long chains were estimated using simple three-parameter empirical formulae. BLYP/6-311++G** calculated ?(C?=?C) and ?(C-C) frequencies for all-trans and all-cis polyenes containing up to 14 carbon-carbon double bonds were used to estimate these values for very long chains. Correction of raw, unscaled vibrational data was performed by comparing theoretical and experimental wavenumbers for polyenes chains containing 3 to 12 conjugated C?=?C units with both ends substituted by tert-butyl groups. The corrected ?(C?=?C) and ?(C-C) wavenumbers for all-trans molecules were used to estimate the presence of 9 - 12 C?=?C units in all-trans polyene pigment in red coral.

Double hybrid DFT calculations with Slater type orbitals.

Project description:On a comprehensive database with 1,644 datapoints, covering several aspects of main-group as well as of transition metal chemistry, we assess the performance of 60 density functional approximations (DFA), among them 36 double hybrids (DH). All calculations are performed using a Slater type orbital (STO) basis set of triple-ζ (TZ) quality and the highly efficient pair atomic resolution of the identity approach for the exchange- and Coulomb-term of the KS matrix (PARI-K and PARI-J, respectively) and for the evaluation of the MP2 energy correction (PARI-MP2). Employing the quadratic scaling SOS-AO-PARI-MP2 algorithm, DHs based on the spin-opposite-scaled (SOS) MP2 approximation are benchmarked against a database of large molecules. We evaluate the accuracy of STO/PARI calculations for B3LYP as well as for the DH B2GP-PLYP and show that the combined basis set and PARI-error is comparable to the one obtained using the well-known def2-TZVPP Gaussian-type basis set in conjunction with global density fitting. While quadruple-ζ (QZ) calculations are currently not feasible for PARI-MP2 due to numerical issues, we show that, on the TZ level, Jacob's ladder for classifying DFAs is reproduced. However, while the best DHs are more accurate than the best hybrids, the improvements are less pronounced than the ones commonly found on the QZ level. For conformers of organic molecules and noncovalent interactions where very high accuracy is required for qualitatively correct results, DHs provide only small improvements over hybrids, while they still excel in thermochemistry, kinetics, transition metal chemistry and the description of strained organic systems.

Thermoelectric Properties of Sb-S System Compounds from DFT Calculations.

Project description:By combining density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and transport properties calculations, we evaluated the thermoelectric properties of Sb-S system compounds and shed light on their relationships with electronic structures. The results show that, for Sb2S3, the large density of states (DOS) variation induces a large Seebeck coefficient. Taking into account the long-range weak bonds distribution, Sb2S3 should exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity. Therefore, Sb2S3 is promising for thermoelectric applications. The insertion of Be atoms into the Sb2S3 interstitial sites demonstrates the electrical properties and Seebeck coefficient anisotropy and sheds light on the understanding of the role of quasi-one-dimensional structure in the electron transport. The large interstitial sites existing in SbS2 are at the origin of phonons anharmonicity which counteracts the thermal transport. The introduction of Zn and Ga atoms into these interstitial sites could result in an enhancement of all the thermoelectric properties.

A combined study on structures and vibrational spectra of the antiviral rimantadine using SQMFF and DFT calculations.

Project description:In this research, a combined study on structures and vibrational spectra of antiviral rimantadine have been performed using hybrid B3LYP/6-311++G∗∗ calculations and the scaled quantum force field (SQMFF) procedure. Harmonic force fields and scaled force constants of Free Base (FB), Cationic (CA) and Hydrochloride (HCl) species derived from the antiviral rimantadine have been calculated in gas phase and in aqueous solution using normal internal coordinates and scaling factors. Good correlations were acquired comparing the theoretical IR, Raman, 1H- 13C-NMR and UV spectra of three species with the analogous experimental ones, suggesting probably, the presence of all them in both phases. The main force constants of three species have evidenced lower values than the corresponding to antiviral amantadine. The ionic character of N1-H33⋯Cl36 bond of HCl species in aqueous solution evidence positive Mulliken charge on N1 atom indicating that this species is as CA one. Rimantadine presents higher solvation energies in water than other antiviral species, such as chloroquin, niclosamide, cidofovir and brincidofovir. The FB and HCl species of rimantadine are slightly less reactive than the corresponding to amantadine while the opposite is observed for the CA species. The predicted ECD spectra for the FB and CA species show positive Cotton effect different from the negative observed for the HCl one. These different behaviours of three species of rimantadine could probably explain the differences observed in the intensities of bands predicted in the electronic spectra of these species.

An insight into the intermolecular vibrational modes of dicationic ionic liquids through far-infrared spectroscopy and DFT calculations.

Project description:Dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) are a subclass of the ionic liquid (IL) family and are characterized by two cationic head groups linked by means of a spacer. While DILs are increasingly attracting interest due to their peculiar physico-chemical properties, there is still a lack of understanding of their intermolecular interactions. Herein, we report our investigations on the intermolecular vibrational modes of two bromide DILs and of a bistriflimide DIL. The minimal possible neutral cluster of ions was studied as a simplified model of these systems and was optimized at the DFT level. Normal modes of two sandwich-like conformers were then calculated using the harmonic approximation with analytical computation of the second derivatives of molecular energy with respect to the atomic coordinates. The calculated spectra were compared to far-infrared experimental spectra and two groups of peaks over three, for the two bromide DILs, and three over five, for the Tf2N- DIL, were described by the proposed neutral cluster model. Therefore, this model represents a reliable and computationally affordable model for the exploration of the intermolecular interactions of this kind of system.

Cu-Doped KCl Unfolded Band Structure and Optical Properties Studied by DFT Calculations.

Project description:The unfolded band structure and optical properties of Cu-doped KCl crystals were computed by first principles within the framework of density functional theory, implemented in the ABINIT software program, utilizing pseudopotential approximation and a plane-wave basis set. From a theoretical point of view, Cu substitution into pristine KCl crystals requires calculation by the supercell (SC) method. This procedure shrinks the Brillouin zone, resulting in a folded band structure that is difficult to interpret. To solve this problem and gain insight into the effect of copper ions (Cu+) on electronic properties, the band structure of SC KCl:Cu was unfolded to make a direct comparison with the band structure of the primitive cell (PC) of pristine KCl. To understand the effect of Cu substitution on optical absorption, we calculated the imaginary part of the dielectric function of KCl:Cu through a sum-over-states formalism and broke it down into different band contributions by partially making an iterated cumulative sum (ICS) of selected valence and conduction bands. Consequently, we identified those interband transitions that give rise to the absorption peaks due to the Cu+ ion. These transitions involve valence and conduction bands formed by the Cu-3d and Cu-4s electronic states.
