The theoretical methods for calculation of the spectra of molecules/supermolecules and aggregates, whose structures can differ significantly, are reviewed from the viewpoint of computational efficiency. Several model compounds/multimers are taken as examples for the spectral calculations. The numerical results achieve a satisfactory agreement between the theory and experiment.展开更多

The frontier molecular orbital characteristics have been analyzed systematically, and the electronic transition mechanism has been discussed. Electronic spectra are calculated by using TD-DFT method. These results are consistent with those from the experiment.展开更多
The molecular structures of the ground and the lowest triplet states for a series of Pt(ll) complexes PtLCl(l)[L=6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine], Pt(pp)2[pp=2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine](2), PtbpyClz...The molecular structures of the ground and the lowest triplet states for a series of Pt(ll) complexes PtLCl(l)[L=6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine], Pt(pp)2[pp=2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine](2), PtbpyClz(bpy=2,2'- bipyridine)(3), and the free tridentate L ligand(4) were optimized by the density functional theory B3LYP and UB3LYP methods, respectively. On the basis of optimized geometries, the spectral properties were investigated with time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT). In comparison with those of complexes 2 and 3, the more rigid structure of complex 1 together with its low rate of the radiationless decay via nonemissive d-d state leads to higher photoluminescence quantum efficiency. And the phosphorescence quantum efficiency of complex 1 can be easily controlled by modifying auxiliary ligands. The introduction of fluorine ligand into complexes can effectively increase the radiation transition rate and decrease the radiationless d-d transition rate, and as a result, a novel complex PtLF(5) might be a good phosphorescent material suitable for organic electronic devices.展开更多

The absorption spectra of these compounds were also investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) with 6-3 IG* basis set. The calculated results indicated that the HOMO and LUMO of the 2,7- and 3,6-1inked carbazole trimers are both slightly destabilized on going from methyl substitution to sec-butyl substitution. Both IP and EA exhibit their good hole-transporting but poor electronaccepting ability. The presence of alkyl groups on the nitrogen atoms does not affect the intra-chain electronic delocalization along the molecular frame. Thus no significant effect on the band gap and absorption spectra of compounds has been found.展开更多

The geometries, electronic structures, and the lowest-lying excited states of (DBQ)2Ir(acac) and (MDQ)2Ir(acac) were investigated via density functional theory-based approaches. A series of designed models of (DBQ)2Ir(dpis), (DBQ)2Ir(tpip), (MDQ)2Ir(dpis) and (MDQ)2Ir(tpip) was also calculated for comparison. The structures in the ground and excited states were optimized via B3LYP method. The lowest absorptions and emissions spectra were evaluated via TD-B3LYP and TD-PBE1PBE methods, The computational results reveal that the emission peaks of the designed complexes are at around 585-640 nm, which belong to the orange-yellow wavelength. The frontier molecular orbital properties indicate that the Ir(Ⅲ) complexes have low efficiency roll-off.展开更多
