    Abstract Limited control over the complex morphology exhibited by organic materials in the solid phase constitutes one of the greatest challenges to power conversion enhancement in the field of organic photovoltaics. Often, this problem is made worse by the molecular architecture of the building blocks engineered with complex structures that make the mechanisms of self-organization less straightforward and less efficient. Here, we present the computational study of a small-molecule donor with a simple architecture whose absorption spectrum in thin film experiences a dramatic change upon thermal treatment. In our present study, this change is rationalized in terms of reorganization of the molecular packing within the film. This reorganization is described in its microscopic details: the results of our simulations provide a plausible picture of the macroscopic thin-film morphology, thus offering valuable hints on how to improve the control of morphology in molecular solids.

    Abstract By coupling an enhanced sampling algorithm with an orbital-localized variant of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics, the so-called atomic centered density matrix propagation model, we reconstruct the free energy profiles along reaction pathways using different density functional approximations (DFAs) ranging from locals to hybrids. In particular, we compare the computed free energy barrier height of proton transfer (PT) reactions to those obtained by a more traditional static approach, based on the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC), for two case systems, namely malonaldehyde and formic acid dimer. The obtained results show that both the IRC profiles and the potentials of mean force, derived from biased dynamic trajectories, are very sensitive to the density functional approximation applied. More precisely, we observe that, with the notable exception of M06-L, local density functionals always strongly underestimate the reaction barrier heights. More generally, we find that also the shape of the free energy profile is very sensitive to the density functional choice, thus highlighting the effect, often neglected, that the choice of DFA has also in the case of dynamics simulations.

    Abstract Organic luminophores displaying one or more forms of luminescence enhancement in solid state are extremely promising for the development and performance optimization of functional materials essential to many modern key technologies. Yet, the effort to harness their huge potential is riddled with hurdles that ultimately come down to a limited understanding of the interactions that result in the diverse molecular environments responsible for the macroscopic response. In this context, the benefits of a theoretical framework able to provide mechanistic explanations to observations, supported by quantitative predictions of the phenomenon, are rather apparent. In this perspective, we review some of the established facts and recent developments about the current theoretical understanding of solid-state luminescence enhancement (SLE) with an accent on aggregation-induced emission (AIE). A description of the macroscopic phenomenon and the questions it raises is accompanied by a discussion of the approaches and quantum chemistry methods that are more apt to model these molecular systems with the inclusion of an accurate yet efficient simulation of the local environment. A sketch of a general framework, building from the current available knowledge, is then attempted

    Abstract The double proton transfer (PT) reaction has been investigated in the [2,2'-bipyridyl]-3-3'-diol, a complex molecule where the proton movements is coupled to significant rearrangement of the electronic structure. Moreover, the reaction could be concerted, that is the two protons are exchanged simultaneously, or stepwise, where the two protons are transferred sequentially. To this end, a static exploration of the potential energy surface (PES) was carried together with the analysis of the free-energy surface (FES), both surfaces being evaluated at density functional theory level and different exchange-correlation functionals. While the concerted mechanism has been clearly discharged, the characteristics of the stepwise PT significantly depends on the chosen functionals, some suggesting a clear stepwise mechanism characterized by a stable reaction intermediates and two transitions states, whereas other approaches propend for a asynchronous PT, with a single TS. These features appear on both PES and FES, albeit some differences appears due to their different nature.

    Abstract We present a generalization of a self-consistent electrostatic embedding approach (SC-Ewald) devised to investigate the photophysical properties of 3D periodic materials, to systems in one- or two-dimensional (2D) reduced periodicity. In this approach, calculations are carried out on a small finite molecular cluster extracted from a periodic model, while the crystalline environment is accounted for by an array of point charges which are fitted to reproduce the exact electrostatic potential (at ground or the excited state) of the infinite periodic system. Periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations are combined with time dependent DFT calculations to simulate absorption and emission properties of the extended system under investigation. We apply this method to compute the UV-Vis. spectra of bulk and quantum-confined 0D quantum dots and 2D extended nanoplatelets of CdSe, due to their relevance as sensitizers in solar cells technologies. The influence of the size and shape of the finite cluster model chosen in the excited state calculations was also investigated and revealed that, although the long-range electrostatics of the environment are important for the calculation of the UV-Vis, a subtle balance between short- and long-range effects exists. These encouraging results demonstrate that this self-consistent electrostatic embedding approach, when applied in different dimensions, can successfully model the photophysical properties of diverse material classes, making it an attractive low-cost alternative to far more computationally demanding electronic structure methods for excited state calculations.

    Abstract N-Allenamides, substituted by an ester at the γ-position, were obtained through addition of terminal ynamides with ethyl diazoacetate under copper catalysis for the first time. Regio- and stereoselective hydroamination of those activated N-allenamides provided exclusively E-configured captodative enamimes through a one-pot anti-Michael addition. Numerous ynamides as well as various secondary amines were adapted in this process.

    Abstract The way different density functional approximations (DFAs) are able to predict, in open-shell systems, spin density, that is the difference between the densities of electrons with spin α and those of spin β, is investigated. Here, a large panel of functionals were tested on a set composed of seven π-radicals expected to amplify DFA errors in modeling electron delocalization and spin polarization effects due to their extended electronic conjugation coupled with their planar structures. Our results show that generally the DFA performances follow a systematic improvement in going from semilocal to hybrid functionals. More problematic is, instead, the case of double hybrid functionals, where the perturbative contribution to correlation damps the positive effect of the presence of a high percent of exact exchange. More interestingly, differences are observed in the spin delocalization and polarization patterns, thus restraining the possibility of applying some of current DFAs to study chemically relevant properties, like molecular magnetism or charge/electron transport.
