Ab initio simulations on the atomic and electronic structure of single-walled BN nanotubes and nanoarches
2009
To simulate the perfect single-walled boron nitride nanotubes and nanoarches with armchair- and zigzag-type chiralities and uniform diameter of � 5 nm, we have constructed their one-dimensional (1D) periodic models. In this study, we have compared the calculated properties of nanotubes with those for both hexagonal and cubic phases of bulk: bond lengths, binding energies per B–N bond, effective atomic charges as well as parameters of total and projected one-electron densities of states. For both phases of BN bulk, we have additionally verified their lattice constants. In the density functional theory (DFT), calculations performed using formalism of the localized Gaussian-type atomic functio…
Basic Concepts and Methodology
2016
In this chapter, the main concepts relevant for the theoretical study of elementary photochemical processes are briefly reviewed. The notions of vibronic coupling and conical intersection are first introduced. The main basic tools from the molecular electronic structure theory and their use for the exploration of potential energy surfaces are then presented.

Improved stability of solid state light emitting electrochemical cells consisting of ruthenium and iridium complexes
2006
ABSTRACTTwo charged organometallic complexes containing bulky hydrophobic ligands based on ruthenium (II) and iridium (III) were synthesized and their performance in solid state light emitting electrochemical cells is described. The complexes were chosen as due to their large ligands a diminished susceptibility towards the formation of destructive complexes during device operation is expected. The LEC device performances reveal the longest living devices reported so far under dc bias. Quantum chemical calculations confirm that the major effect of the bulky diphenylphenanthroline ligands is of steric origin and not related with changes in the molecular electronic structure of the complexes.
Electronic structure of metal‐free phthalocyanine : A valence effective Hamiltonian theoretical study
1988
We present a valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) nonempirical investigation of the electronic properties of metal‐free phthalocyanine. The valence one‐electron energy levels are related to those of the phthalocyanine components: benzene, pyrrole, and isoindole. From the electronic structure standpoint, phthalocyanine has to be viewed as formed by joining four benzene moieties to the central carbon–nitrogen ring rather than by combining four isoindole units through nitrogen bridges. Comparison of the VEH density‐of‐valence‐states curves with the experimental ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) data is quantitatively excellent and allows for a complete interpretation of the experimen…
Theoretical Simulations on Electric Properties of CNT-Me and GNR-Me Interconnects Using Effective Media Approach
2011
Abstract To overcome disadvantages of nowadays microtechnology, a further miniaturization of electronic devices, high integration level as well as increase of both operation frequencies and power density is required, including the use of adequate materials and innovative chip interconnects. Due to their unique physical properties, especially due to a ballistic (without losses) mechanism of conductivity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) attract a permanently growing technological interest, for example, as promising candidates for nanointerconnects in a high-speed electronics.
A new copper(II) chelate complex with tridentate ligand: Synthesis, crystal and molecular electronic structure of aqua-(diethylenetriamine-N, N′, N′′…
2015
Abstract The crystals of a new aqua-(diethylenetriamine-N, N′, N′′)-copper(II) sulfate monohydrate have been synthesized by direct interaction of solid copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate with diethylenetriamine (deta). The crystal structure of [Cu(deta)H2O]SO4⋅H2O (1) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods at 100 K and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction pattern: space group P 1 ¯ , a = 7.2819(4), b = 8.4669(4), c = 8.7020(3) A, α = 83.590(3), β = 89.620(4), γ = 84.946(4)°, Z = 2. The environment of the Cu(II) atom is a distorted, elongated square pyramid which consists of three nitrogen atoms of the deta molecule and oxygen atom of the water molecule in the basal plane of t…
A study of the atmospherically important reactions of dimethylsulfide (DMS) with I2 and ICl using infrared matrix isolation spectroscopy and electron…
2012
The reactions of dimethylsulfide (DMS) with molecular iodine (I(2)) and iodine monochloride (ICl) have been studied by infrared matrix isolation spectroscopy by co-condensation of the reagents in an inert gas matrix. Molecular adducts of DMS + I(2) and DMS + ICl have also been prepared using standard synthetic methods. The vapour above each of these adducts trapped in an inert gas matrix gave the same infrared spectrum as that recorded for the corresponding co-condensation reaction. In each case, the infrared spectrum has been interpreted in terms of a van der Waals adduct, DMS : I(2) and DMS : ICl, with the aid of infrared spectra computed for their minimum energy structures at the MP2 lev…
