Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Thermochromism in Oligothiophenes: the Role of the Internal Rotation(American Chemical Society, 2002) Elmacı, Nuran; Yurtsever, ErsinThe relation between thermochromism in polythiophenes and the internal rotation is studied by density-functional theory (DFT). For head-to-tail methyl-substituted thiophenes, rotational potential maps of dimer and trimer are calculated. With time-dependent-DFT methodology the absorption spectra of these oligomers in UV-vis region are calculated as functions of the torsional angles. Theoretical temperature-dependent UV-vis spectra are generated from the distribution of torsional angles. The results show that the internal rotation alone is not sufficient to explain the mechanism of thermochromism.
