DFT study on some polythiophenes containing benzo[d]thiazole and benzo[d]oxazole: structure and band gap.

The content of this paper focuses/shed light on the effects of X (X = S in P1 and X = O in P2) in C11H7NSX and R (R = H in P3, R = OCH3 in P4, and R = Cl in P5) in C18H9ON2S2-R on structural features and band gaps of the polythiophenes containing benzo[d]thiazole and benzo[d]oxazole by the Density Function Theory (DFT) method/calculation. The structural features including the electronic structure lattice constant (a), shape, total energy (Etot) per cell, and link length (r), are measured via band gap (Eg) prediction with the package of country density (PDOS) and total country density (DOS) of material studio software. The results obtained showed that the link angle and the link length between atoms were not changed significantly while the Etot was decreased from Etot = - 1904 eV (in P1) to Etot = - 2548 eV (in P2) when replacing O with S; and the Etot of P3 was decreased from Etot = - 3348 eV (in P3) when replacing OCH3, Cl on H of P3 corresponding to Etot = - 3575 eV (P4), - 4264 eV (P5). Similarly, when replacing O in P1 with - S to form P2, the Eg of P1 was dropped from Eg = 0.621 eV to Eg = 0.239 eV for P2. The Eg of P3, P4, and P5 is Eg = 0.006 eV, 0.064 eV, and 0.0645 eV, respectively. When a benzo[d]thiazole was added in P1 (changing into P3), the Eg was extremely strongly decreased, nearly 100 times (from Eg = 0.621 eV to Eg = 0.006 eV). The obtained results serve as a basis for future experimental work and used to fabricate smart electronic device.

Crystal structure of potassium hydrogen bis-((E)-2-{4-[3-(thio-phen-3-yl)acrylo-yl]phen-oxy}acetate).

The synthesis and spectroscopic data of (E)-2-{4-[3-(thio-phen-3-yl)acrylo-yl]phen-oxy}acetic acid are described. Crystallization from an ethanol-water mixture resulted in the title compound, C30H23KO8S2 or [K(C15H11O4S)(C15H12O4S)] n , containing one mol-ecule of the acid and one mol-ecule of the potassium salt in the asymmetric unit. Both mol-ecules share the H atom between their carboxyl groups and a potassium ion. The C=C bonds display an E configuration. The thio-phene and phenyl rings in the two mol-ecules are inclined by 43.3 (2) and 22.7 (2)°. The potassium ion is octa-hedrally coordinated by six O atoms. This distorted octa-hedron shares on opposite sides two oxygen atoms with inversion-related octa-hedra, resulting in chains of octa-hedra running in the [010] direction, which form ladder-like chains by C-H⋯π inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the highest contributions to the surface contacts arise from inter-actions in which H atoms are involved, with the most important contribution being from H⋯H (31.6 and 31.9% for the two mol-ecules) inter-actions.

Crystal structure and Hirshfield surface analysis of 4-phenyl-3-(thio-phen-3-ylmeth-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione.

In the title compound, C13H11N3S2, the phenyl ring is twisted from the 1,2,4-triazole plane by 63.35 (9)° and by 47.35 (9)° from the thio-phene plane. In the crystal, chains of mol-ecules running along the c-axis direction are formed by N-H⋯S inter-actions [graph-set motif C(4)]. The 1,2,4-triazole and phenyl rings are involved in π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.4553 (10) Å]. The thio-phene ring is involved in C-H⋯S and C-H⋯π inter-actions. The inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are H⋯H (35.8%), followed by S⋯H/H⋯S (26.7%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (18.2%).
