Abstract:Theoretical understanding of thiophene clusters is very important for molecular understanding of thiophene as solvent and for determining the thermodynamics properties of the solvent. However, no investigations on thiophene clusters have been reported previously in the literature. We have performed in this work an ab initio computational study to understand the interactions taking place in thiophene clusters using the thiophene pentamer. We started by generating possible structures using classical molecular dy… Show more
“…This level of computation has been observed to be appropriate for the analysis of noncovalent interactions. [40][41][42] The Gaussian16 43 software package was employed for geometry optimization and vibrational frequency analysis of all the molecular systems examined in this study. The vibrational frequencies were calculated to verify that the molecular systems reside in energy minima on the potential energy surface, as evidenced by the absence of any imaginary frequencies.…”
