Description
Physical properties of intercalated porous material can be modulated by intercalation of small molecules, as this was demonstrated through the iodine (I2) intercalation into tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TPP) crystals. This work describes in depth theoretical considerations of TPP derivatives. The core ring [(NP)3] substitution by [(CO) 3], [(CNH)3], and [(CS)3], as well as the side group modification in size and composition (containing tetrathiafulvalene-like fragments), is well described from the most important aspects as their geometry optimization, their highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) consideration together with ionization potentials (IP), and their charged forms. On the basis of PBE0/6-31G(d,p) calculations, the neutral forms of the [(CO)3], [(CNH)3], and [(CS) 3] containing derivatives are predicted in a distorted caplike conformation. In the first two series, planar (or nearly planar) conformations are predicted upon oxidation, while IP and HOMO energy calculation revealed an electron-donor strength better or comparable to that of the known tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-like superconductors. Within the [(NP)3] based derivatives, the results show that the geometry of the central part may be influenced by the structure of the side fragment. Among the most interesting results, a number of derivatives are predicted to show a good electron-donor strength compared to the commonly used TTF-like donors. More interestingly, a larger number of [(NP)3] containing derivatives, especially the O/"NH"-substituted series, are found to combine the good electron-donor capacity and the "paddle wheel" molecular shape, making them good candidates for organic superconductors with the ease of modulating their conducting properties by intercalation of suitable acceptors. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
