High level ab initio calculations ranging from coupled cluster methods including explicitly correlated approaches to standard second order Møller-Plesset theory using spin scaling (SOS-MP2) have been performed on sandwich and slipped parallel dimer structures of a series of quasi one-dimensional acenes and on two-dimensional sheets containing the pyrene to coronene series encircled with two layers of benzene rings. Sandwich (graphitic AA type) and slipped parallel (AB type) structures were…

Benchmark ab initio calculations on intermolecular structures and the exciton character of poly(p-phenylenevinylene) dimers.

Benchmark ab initio calculations have been performed for poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) dimers, a paradigmatic material for studying excitation energy transfer mechanisms, proving that these approaches are not advisable for calculating intermolecular distances and interaction energies with smaller basis sets.

The π-Tetrel Bond and its Influence on Hydrogen Bonding and Proton Transfer.

The π-tetrel bond strengthens/weakens the MDA H-bond when the bond is formed to the hydroxyl/carbonyl group of MDA, and causes an accompanying inhibition/promotion of proton transfer within this H- bond; this effect is stronger for F2 SiO.

Estimates of the Ab Initio Limit for π−π Interactions: The Benzene Dimer

State-of-the-art electronic structure methods have been applied to the simplest prototype of aromatic π−π interactions, the benzene dimer. By comparison to results with a large aug-cc-pVTZ basis set,…

High-level ab initio computations of structures and interaction energies of naphthalene dimers: origin of attraction and its directionality.

The estimated interaction energies of the set of geometries explored in this work show that two structures emerge as being the lowest energy, and may effectively be considered as isoenergetic on the basis of the errors inherent in out extrapolation procedure.

A fast correlated electronic structure method for computing interaction energies of large van der Waals complexes applied to the fullerene-porphyrin dimer.

It is demonstrated that counterpoise-corrected SOS-MP2 results, extrapolated towards the complete basis set (CBS) limit using a two-point extrapolation scheme, can yield association energies that are reasonably close to the best available numbers, when the single scale factor is chosen as 1.55.

Stacking of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as prototype for graphene multilayers, studied using density functional theory augmented with a dispersion term.

For stacked bilayers (dimers) and multilayers of polyaromatic hydrocarbons, which serve as molecular models of graphene sheets, it is found that binding energies and energy gaps are strongly dependent on their sizes, while the stacking order and the number of stacked layers have a minor influence.

Understanding of assembly phenomena by aromatic-aromatic interactions: benzene dimer and the substituted systems.

The presence of substituents on the aromatic ring, irrespective of their electron withdrawing or donating nature, leads to an increase in the binding energy, and the displaced-stacked conformations are more stabilized than the T-shaped conformers, which explains the wide prevalence of displaced stacked structures in organic crystals.

Binding energies of the π-stacked anisole dimer: new molecular beam-laser spectroscopy experiments and CCSD(T) calculations.

An accurate recalculation of the binding energy based on the combination of the CCSD(T)/CBS interaction energy and a DFT-D3 vibrational analysis proves unambiguously that the previously reported experimental value is too high and a new series of measurements with a different, more sensitive apparatus was performed.
