Quantum mechanical calculations are performed to establish the structure of an oligomer of aniline and pyrrole [Poly(Ani-co-Py)], through comparison of experimental and theoretically calculated properties, including conductivity. The copolymer was synthesized through chemical oxidative polymerization and then confirmed from the experimental IR, UV-vis, mass spectra, elemental, XRD, TGA, and SEM analysis. Quantum mechanical calculations are performed at Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods for the electronic and spectroscopic properties of the oligomer. A very nice correlation is found between the theory and experiment which consequences the structure of Poly(Ani-co-Py). Poly(Ani-co-Py) is not explored like other conducting polymers; however, by tuning this molecular structure, the electro-active nature of this material can be enhanced adequately.

Naveen Kosar, Maryium Bibi, Faizan Ullah, Mazhar Amjad Gilani, Mohammed Salim Akhter, Khurshid Ayub, Tariq Mahmood

Summary: In this study, the reversible hydrogen storage capacity of Ni functionalized C-10 carbyne complex was explored using density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamic (MD) calculations. The NiC10 complex showed higher sensitivity towards hydrogen adsorption compared to isolated C-10 carbyne. Stable nH(2)-NiC10 complexes were observed for n & LE; 5, with adsorption energies ranging from -0.89 to -0.22 eV/H-2 molecule and hydrogen storage capacity of about 1.11 to 5.33 wt%. Molecular dynamic calculations revealed the stability of the complexes for hydrogen desorption up to 2000 steps. This study highlights the potential of nickel-doped carbyne C-10 complex for hydrogen storage and fuel cell applications.

First, second and third order NLO response of alkaline earth metals doped C6O6Li6 organometallic complexes

Naveen Kosar, Sunaina Wajid, Khurshid Ayub, Mazhar Amjad Gilani, Tariq Mahmood

Summary: The geometric, electronic, linear and nonlinear (NLO) properties of pure C6O6Li6 and alkaline earth metals (AEM) doped C6O6Li6 organometallics were investigated through quantum chemical methods. The thermodynamic and electronic stabilities of the AEM@C6O6Li6 organometallic complexes were analyzed using interaction (Eint) and vertical ionization energies, respectively. The doping of alkaline earth metals led to a significant reduction in HOMO-LUMO energy gap and enhanced conductivity due to the transfer of electrons between the alkaline earth metals and the C6O6Li6 surface. These organometallics demonstrated deep ultra-violet transparency below 200 nm and exhibited notable NLO responses, which suggest their potential application in future laser devices and optical technologies for achieving better dc-Kerr effect and second harmonic generation effects.

Misbah Asif, Hasnain Sajid, Sana Qureshi, Mazhar Amjad Gilani, Tariq Mahmood, Khurshid Ayub

Summary: The nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of alkali metal atom (AA) doped lithiated boron-containing hexahydroxy-triphenylene (LiBHHTP) 2D materials was investigated. The doped AA atoms, Li, Na, and K, preferentially interact with the oxygen atoms on the LiBHHTP surface. The electronic behavior of LiBHHTP changes after doping with alkali atoms, as shown by Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO), Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), and Density of State (DOS) analyses. Among the doped complexes, K@LiBHHTP exhibits a significantly large static hyperpolarizability (beta o) of 2.24 x 105 au. The article highlights the effects of alkali atom doping on the NLO behavior of materials and introduces lithiated boron-containing triphenylene as a next-generation optoelectronic material.

Molecular dynamics simulations of several linear homopolymers: Assessment and comparison of shock properties

Claire A. Lemarchand

Summary: This study investigates the shock behavior of three different polymers through molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal specificities in the shock behavior of polymers, including deviations from the linear relation between shock velocity and particle velocity, as well as differences in shear stress relaxation behind the shock front. It is found that the deviation of the Hugoniot locus is related to the change in the relative contribution of bonding and non-bonding potential energies, while polymers with higher glass transition temperatures exhibit slower shear stress relaxation.

Understanding leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/ [Bmim][Cl] blends during regeneration from water and aqueous ethanol using molecular dynamic simulations

Alex Kwasi Kumi, Ruiling Fan, Ye Chen, Yumei Zhang

Summary: The difference in leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) blends during regeneration in water and aqueous ethanol has been studied. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the dissolution and regeneration mechanisms of amylopectin in [Bmim][Cl] are similar to cellulose in ionic liquids. Water regeneration leads to weak electrostatic interactions, resulting in high leaching of amylopectin. In contrast, ethanol-water interactions enhance electrostatic interactions among amylopectin chains, limiting amylopectin leaching in aqueous ethanol.

Synergetic effect of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication on chains pre-ordering in conjugated polymer solution

Zhaoyang Chu, Qing Zhang, Haihua Luo, Han Zhou, Fapei Zhang, Wei Chen, Wenhua Zhang

Summary: Multi-physical fields solution processing strategy is a universal and facile method for preparing various conjugated polymer films and high-performance devices. In this study, we employed a combined microfluidic flow and ultrasonication strategy (FU) for processing CP solutions, and found a pronounced synergetic effect in promoting the pre-ordering of chains in solution. The conformation order and anisotropy of the solution were revealed through various characterizations. A non-classical nucleation model for polymer crystallization in non-equilibrium solution processing was confirmed. The roles of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication in chain aggregation and crystallization were addressed through multi-physical simulations. Compared to pristine solutions, the FU strategy showed improved solution anisotropy and crystallization kinetics, resulting in higher crystallinity in films and increased mobilities in OFET devices. The FU processing strategy provides a universal approach for regulating chain conformation and aggregation in conjugated polymer solutions.
