Abstract
Nonlinear optical (NLO) response materials are among the smartest materials of the era and are employed to modulate the phase and frequency of the laser. The present study presents a quantum chemical framework for tailoring nitrogen/boron doped derivatives of Dihydrodibenzo [de,op]pentacene through terminal and central core modifications. The derivatives of these compounds have been designed by introducing various π-conjugated connectors as well as B/N heteroatoms in the phenalene rings. Density functional theory (DFT) methods are used to optimize the ground state molecular geometries of designed compounds, represented as 1 to 4 (phenalene derivatives) and 1-BN to 4-BN (B/N doped phenalene derivatives) at the M06-2X/6-311G* level of theory. The highest value of 116.9 × 10-24 esu and 240.2 × 10-24 esu for isotropic and anisotropic linear polarizability is shown by compound 4. Among the designed compounds, 4-BN has achieved the highest γ amplitude of 1858 × 10-36 esu owing to its unique molecular structural design. Further analysis of electronic parameters, such as electron density difference (EDD) maps, the density of states, electrostatic potentials, transition density matrix (TDM) analysis, and frontier molecular orbitals analysis (FMOs), demonstrated the more effective intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) for the best compounds, resulting in a good NLO response. The compounds were also analyzed for their potential in photovoltaic applications based on factors such as open circuit voltage values determined to be between (0.14 eV and 1.82 eV), and light harvesting efficiency (0.425-0.909).

Abstract
Herein, an integral approach has been made towards the exploration of electronic and structural parameters of four synthesized (DMA with an A-π-A configuration and DMM, DAM, and DMD with a D-π-D configuration) and one designed (DMB-D) novel Schiff base compounds. Bis phenylenediamine derivatives were prepared by condensation of 4,5-dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine (1) with various substituted benzaldehydes (2a-d). The structures of compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques, i.e., UV-visible, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The DFT-based analysis of entitled compounds was performed via density functional theory utilizing the M06-2X functional in conjugation with the 6-311G(d,p) basis set to acquire geometrical parameters, natural bonding orbital (NBO), the density of states (DOS), non-linear optical (NLO), molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), and natural population analyses. The smallest band gap of (5.446 eV) was noted for DMAvia frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis. GRPs were obtained with the aid of E gap values as DMA with the lowest band gap displayed a small magnitude of hardness (2.723 eV) and a large magnitude of softness (0.183 eV). The β tot values of DMA, DMM, DMB-D, DAM, and DMD were 56.95, 0.43, 2.53, 8.98, and 68.47 times larger than urea (β tot = 3.71 × 10-31 e.s.u.), respectively. The observed fascinating NLO properties of these novel compounds might be helpful for further advancement in non-linear optics.

Abstract
In this report, a series of amorphous organic optoelectronic pyrene-fluorene derivative materials (BP1, BP2, PFP1, PFP2, OP1, OP2) were systematically investigated through a theoretical method. Their molecular structures are different due to the difference of substitution groups at C9 of the fluorene core, which include electron-rich pyrene group (PFP1 and PFP2), relatively neutral phenyl group (BP1 and BP2), and electron-withdrawing oxadiazole group (OP1 and OP2). In the beginning, through the physical model analysis, this report proposes that the concept of p-type or n-type is not flawless because there is no real doping process in these molecular organic semiconductors. To prove such a concept, the Marcus theory and first-principles were employed to calculate the intrinsic transfer mobility of these materials. Not as the common method used for the single crystal, in this report, a series of disorderly designed lattice cells were constructed to represent the disordered distribution of the amorphous pyrenyl-fluorene derivatives. Then, the reorganization energy of materials was calculated by the adiabatic potential energy surface method. The transfer integral of dimers was calculated in possible hopping pathways near the central molecule. Research results show that the six pyrene-fluorene materials all possess intrinsic bipolar transfer characteristics. In addition, it is also showed that the electron-rich group is not necessary to improve hole transfer, and that the electron-withdrawing group is also not necessary to improve electron transfer.

Abstract
Abstract
Multifunctional pyrazole derivative, i.e. 3-amino-1-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile (PBCC) has been synthesized and characterized. To shed light on various properties of interests, the ground state geometry was optimized by adopting Density Functional Theory (PBE/TZ2P). The effect of different functionals on the absorption wavelengths was studied by using Time-Domain DFT (TDDFT), e.g. GGA functional PBE, hybrid functionals B3LYP and PBE0, rang separated functionals CAM-B3LYP, LCY-PBE and CAMY-B3LYP, Dispersion Corrections PBE-D3 and B3LYP-D3. Among all these functionals PBE and PBE-D3 were found to be good choices which reproduced the absorption spectra of the PBCC. With the aim to enhance the electro-optical, charge transfer and photovoltaic properties, five new derivatives were designed by di-substituting the –F, –Cl, –Br, –COOH and –CN at benzochromene moiety. The electron injection barrier, band gap alignment and related calculated photovoltaic parameters revealed that PBCC and its newly designed derivatives would be proficient to be used in photovoltaic devices. These compounds can be used as donor materials in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with favorable type-II band alignment. Moreover, PBCC and most of its derivatives might also be good choice as efficient acceptors with poly(dithieno[3,2-b:2,3-d]pyrrole thiophene) (PDTPr-T) and donor materials with Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) in organic solar cells.

Abstract
In the present study, the number and position of sulfur atoms on naphthalene diimide (NDI) is systematically investigated to tune its nonlinear optical (NLO) response properties. Our DFT calculations for third-order polarizability (γ) show that the thionation significantly influences the nonlinear optical property of NDI as it is seen among its several designed derivatives (NDI-1 to NDI-10). The smallest and the largest γzzzz amplitudes are 503.49 × 10-36 and 1299.5 × 10-36 esu for NDI-1 (having tetraone group) and NDI-10 (having tetrathione group), respectively. The increase in γzzzz amplitude for NDI-10 is 796 × 10-36 esu, which is ∼150% from the γzzzz amplitude of NDI-1. A comparison of the γzzzz amplitudes of our designed derivatives are made with para-nitroaniline i.e. a prototype NLO molecule. The γzzzz amplitude of pNA is found to be 42.64 × 10-36 esu at the same B3LYP/DZVP2 level of theory. Using two-level model, the origin of larger γzzzz amplitudes is traced in lower transition energy of NDI-10. Furthermore, the calculation of vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) shows that the thionation does not affect the stability of designed derivatives, where a slight difference of 0.06 eV is seen between the VIPs of NDI-1 (6.63 eV) and NDI-10 (6.57 eV). Thus, a systematic comparison of the third-order polarizability and other electro-optical properties of our designed derivatives shows that our derivative systems possess good potential for their practical realization in the field of optical and NLO materials.
