Abstract:
We investigated the effects of substitution on the sumanene benzylic CH2 groups with BH and NH groups using density functional theory computations. Our study shows that various properties of sumanene could be finely tuned for the application in the areas closely related to the materials science. Structural properties are significantly altered with such modifications and other properties as well. Charge distributions were evaluated through natural population analysis (NPA), while stability of investigated structures was investigated using quantum molecular descriptors. Using molecular orbital analysis further insight into the effects of substitution was obtained. Potential of sumanene as a candidate for application in the field of organic electronics is assessed through calculations of exciton binding energy. Non-linear optical properties of investigated structures were investigated using the first hyperpolarizability tensor. Special attention was paid to the aromaticity of sumanene. This property was evaluated employing NICS parameter while for detailed study of obtained results we used NBO and NBOdel analysis.
