Theoretical analysis of OLED performances of some aromatic nitrogen-containing ligands

It is well-known that tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) complex and N,N'diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-diphenyl-4,4'-diamine compound (TPD) are widely used as electron transfer material (ETL) and hole transfer material (HTL) in organic light emitting diode (OLED) structure, respectively. Considering the reference materials, in the present work, the OLED performances of some cyclic aromatic structures such as 4,4'azopyridine [AZPY], 4,4'-bipyridine [BIPY], 1,2-bis[4'-(4-methylphenyl)2,2':6'2″-terpyridin6-yl]ethyne (BISTERPY), 5,5'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine (DABP), dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'c]phenazine (DPP), 4,7-phenanthroline (PHEN) including nitrogen atom have been theoretically analyzed. It is important to note that B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/TZP levels of the theory were taken into account for the calculations about monomeric and dimeric structures, respectively. Additionally, the calculations of the mentioned monomeric form were performed at B3LYP-D3/6-31G, CAM-B3LYP/6-31G and ωB97X-D/6-31G(d) levels. For a detailed theoretical analysis, the reorganization energies (λe and λh), adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials and electron affinities, the effective transfer integrals (Ve and Vh), and the charge transfer rates (We and Wh) of all compounds were computed by means of computational chemistry tools. In the light of calculated parameters, it is determined that these mentioned aromatic cyclic structures will be used in which layers of OLED structure. The results obtained in this study will be helpful in the design and applications of new molecules as OLED materials in the future.

DFT investigations on conformational analysis, solvation effects, reactivity studies, chemical descriptors and docking of two anti‐cancerous drugs, Lenvatinib and Regorafenib

Two anticancer drugs, lenvatinib (LNTB) and regorafenib (RGFB) are evaluated for their solvent effects, wavefunction reactivity properties and different chemical descriptors by means of theoretical methods. Potential energy surface scan studies about all possible rotable bonds are performed and lowest energy conformations of LNTB and RGFB are for the torsion angles C25‐C24‐C29‐N9 and C25‐N10‐C15‐C21. Reactive sites are O and N, H atoms, giving nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks for both the molecules. Solvation free energies are calculated in different solvents and all solvents are suitble except heptane. Electron densities of LNTB and RGFB show that closed‐shell interactions are in different regions. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the compounds LNTB and RGFB are found at O2‐H38, Cl1‐H37 & O5‐H47 and F2‐H38, N11‐H45, O7‐H35 & O7‐H37, respectively. Due to anticancer activities, LNTB and RGFB are docked with different proteins which give binding affinities from ‐8.4 to ‐10.5 for RGFB and ‐7.9 to ‐10.1 kcal/mol for LNTB.
