Quantum chemical framework for tailoring N/B doped phenalene derivatives to achieve high performance nonlinear optical materials
Journal of molecular graphics & modelling(2024)
摘要
Nonlinear optical (NLO) response materials are among the smartest materials of the era and are employed to modulate the phase and frequency of the laser. The present study presents a quantum chemical framework for tailoring nitrogen/boron doped derivatives of Dihydrodibenzo [de,op]pentacene through terminal and central core modifications. The derivatives of these compounds have been designed by introducing various pi-conjugated connectors as well as B/N heteroatoms in the phenalene rings. Density functional theory (DFT) methods are used to optimize the ground state molecular geometries of designed compounds, represented as 1 to 4 (phenalene derivatives) and 1-BN to 4-BN (B/N doped phenalene derivatives) at the M06-2X/6-311G* level of theory. The highest value of 116.9 x 10-24 esu and 240.2 x 10-24 esu for isotropic and anisotropic linear polarizability is shown by compound 4. Among the designed compounds, 4-BN has achieved the highest gamma amplitude of 1858 x 10-36 esu owing to its unique molecular structural design. Further analysis of electronic parameters, such as electron density difference (EDD) maps, the density of states, electrostatic potentials, transition density matrix (TDM) analysis, and frontier molecular orbitals analysis (FMOs), demonstrated the more effective intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) for the best compounds, resulting in a good NLO response. The compounds were also analyzed for their potential in photovoltaic applications based on factors such as open circuit voltage values determined to be between (0.14 eV and 1.82 eV), and light harvesting efficiency (0.425-0.909).
