Ab initio investigation on adhesion of aluminum atom to dimer-pyrrole

We calculated ground-state binding energies of geometrically optimized dimer-pyrrole (di-Py), Aluminum (Al) atom, and Dimer Pyrrole - Aluminum at different distance and angles using PCGAMESS to determine the highest binding energy. Finding the said position is the initial step in studying the adsorp...

Description
Summary:We calculated ground-state binding energies of geometrically optimized dimer-pyrrole (di-Py), Aluminum (Al) atom, and Dimer Pyrrole - Aluminum at different distance and angles using PCGAMESS to determine the highest binding energy. Finding the said position is the initial step in studying the adsorption of dimer-pyrrole on Al surface that could provide a way on how to calculate the activation energy for each configuration. These activation energies are vital information in characterizing the electronic properties of conductive polymer- metal interfaces. The data shows that among the chosen orientation, 3.6 Å - 30 degrees above the perpendicular line to the Nitrogen of the di-Py molecule plane. HOMO and LUMO diagrams, and ESP mapped on electron density of di-Py molecule were also computed.
