Data to understand the nature of non-covalent interactions in the thiophene clusters

We have reported herein the data to understand the nature and number of non-covalent interactions that stabilize the structures of the thiophene clusters. In addition, we have also provided the optimized Cartesian coordinates of all the structures of the investigated thiophene clusters. Initially, the geometries have been generated using the ABCluster code which performs a global optimization to locate local and global minima structures of molecular clusters. The located geometries have been optimized at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory using Gaussian 16 suite of programs. To understand the nature of non-covalent interactions, we have performed a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis on all the structures of the thiophene dimer. Furthermore, the QTAIM analysis has been performed also on the most stable structure of the thiophene trimer and tetramer. We have used the AIMAll program to perform the QTAIM analysis. The data reported in this paper contains the critical points, the bonds paths and their related properties, for each investigated structures. Besides, the data contains the optimized Cartesian coordinates of all the investigated structures of the thiophene clusters. This can be use for any further investigations involving thiophene clusters. For further information and analysis, the reader is referred to the original related research article (Malloum and Conradie, 2022).

QTAIM analysis dataset for non-covalent interactions in furan clusters

Furan clusters are very important to understand the dynamics and properties of the furan solvent. They can be used combined with quantum cluster equilibrium theory to theoretically determine the thermodynamics properties of the furan solvent. To understand the structures of the furan clusters, one needs to understand the non-covalent interactions that hold the furan molecules together. In this paper, we have provided the data necessary to understand the non-covalent interactions in furan clusters. Firstly, the structures of the furan clusters have been generated using classical molecular dynamics as implemented in the ABCluster code. Secondly, the generated structures have been fully optimized at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. The optimized Cartesian coordinates of all the investigated structures are reported in this work to enable further investigations of the furan clusters. These Cartesian coordinates will save computational time for all further investigations involving the furan clusters. Thirdly, to understand the nature of the non-covalent interactions in furan clusters, we have performed a quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM) analysis using AIMAll program. Using QTAIM, we have provided the critical points, bond paths and their related properties for all the investigated structures. These data can be used to identify and classify the non-covalent interactions in furan clusters.
