A theoretical study of the solvent effect on the interaction of C20 and N2H2

Resumo

In this work, the interaction of C₂₀ and the N₂H₂ fragment is investigated at the M062X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory in both gas and solution phases. The interaction energies obtained by the standard method are corrected by the basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules at the same levels of theory. The results obtained from these calculations reveal that the interaction between C₂₀ and N₂H₂ increases in the presence of more polar solvents. Values of the electrophilic charge transfer show the charge flow from C₂₀ to N₂H₂. The influence of the solvent on the hyperpolarizability indicates that β_tot values decrease on passing from vacuum to the solution phase.
