Theoretical study of physisorption of tosylate on AU10, AU15 and AU18 surfaces utilizing DFT approach

Charge transfer from organic nanomaterial to the coinage metal surfaces occur as a result to the physisorption physisorption phenomena. Physisorption plays a major role in many applications. A set of properties such as, molecular geometries, contour density maps, electrostatic potentials (ESPs), infrared spectra (IR), electronic states, HOMO and LUMO energies, Energy gaps (Eg), ionization potential (I.P), electron affinity (E.A),dipole moment, polarizabilities , average polarizability , symmetry and density of states by using Gaussian 09 software package algorithms were investigated at LANL2DZ, B3LYP and the ground state energy of (Au10-OTS) , (Au15) , (Au15-OTS), (Au18) and (Au18-OTS) , but the structure of (Au10) has been submitted at LANL2MB,B3LYP basis sets. The research study physisorption phenomena from the organic nanomaterial to sylate (OTS) to the coinage metal surface (gold surfaces), also the research concentrate if charge transfer procedure gets at the surface. Physisorption phenomena and charge transfer procedure that happen at the surface can be known throughout some properties such as the closed energy contour maps, electrostatic potentials, symmetry and density of states. Electronic states and energy gap property have been studied in this research to recognize importance of the geometrical structures in the electronic devices and the different electronic applications in different branch of knowledges. The research had the ionization potential and electron affinity credits to demonstrate if the geometrical structure will behave as a donor or an acceptor because the ionization energy demonstrate ability of the geometrical structure to donate the electrons in an interaction, but the electron affinity describes the capacity of the geometrical structure to accept electrons in an interaction.
