DFT computational study of trihalogenated aniline derivative's adsorption onto graphene/fullerene/fullerene-like nanocages, X12Y12 (X = Al, B, and Y = N, P)

Jamelah S. Al-Otaibi et al.

Summary: The adsorption of 2,4,6-tribromoaniline, 2,4,6-trifluoroaniline, and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline onto the surface of coronene/fullerene/fullerene-like nanocages led to significant changes in chemical descriptors and nonlinear optical properties. Energy gap values decreased for all nanoclusters, increasing the conductivity of complexes except for fullerene. UV-visible wavenumbers of all complexes shifted to shorter wavelengths, with fullerene showing particularly high values. This study suggests the potential for designing nanocage sensors for detecting these compounds using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).

Zakir Ullah et al.

Summary: In this study, DFT calculations were used to investigate the adsorption properties of OPC on four fullerene-like nanocages. Various calculations were performed to analyze the relaxed structures of adsorbed OPC on each nanocage. The results show that OPC forms a bond with the nanocage through the interaction between its nucleophilic and electrophilic parts. Additionally, boron-containing nanocages are suggested to be superior drug sensors compared to aluminum-containing nanocages due to their larger fluctuations in bandgap.
