Abstract
The geometrical parameters, total and relative energies, vibrational frequencies, the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, and reorganization energies for the neutral molecule, anion, and cation of $C_{16}H_{16}O_3$ have been determined using density functional method (DFT). The highest level of theory employed in this study is $B3LYP/6-311G^{**}$. Harmonic vibrational frequencies were determined at the $B3LYP/6-311G^{**}$ level of theory. All positive vibrational frequencies were obtained to confirm minimum structures. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap and reorganization energies were calculated to predict the charge transport property of liquid-crystal.
