Conformational analysis and electronic structure of chiral carbon and carbon nitride nanotubes

Abstract: Geometry and electronic structure of chiral carbon and carbon nitride (CNx) nanotubes were investigated through quantum chemical methods. Finite nanotubes with diameters ranging from 5 to 10 Å and containing up to 500 atoms were considered. CNx structures were built through random substitution of carbon atoms by nitrogen. The molecules were fully optimized by semi-empirical quantum chemical method (PM3). Our results show that the energy associated with nitrogen incorporation depends strongly upon the tube heli… Show more

“…Depending on the ratio between chirality indexes, they display features of conductors or semiconductors [252] and have valuable optical properties [253]. It was shown that the doping of chiral nanotubes with nitrogen diminishes the stress caused by the small diameter and the corresponding energy strongly depends on the tube helicity [254]. However, the most prominent quality of chiral nanotubes is their ability to form complexes with chiral molecules possessing different degrees of stability.…”

“…The geometry optimization criteria GNORM was set at 0.001 for the isolated molecules by PM3 methods (de Faria et al 2011). A total of 11 MOPAC derived descriptors reflecting the most character of the molecules were selected and calculated in this study.…”
