摘要

Stability and structural properties of nanopeapods are investigated by means of density-functional theory (DFT) including van der Waals interactions. As a prototypical system of organic it -conjugated molecules embedded into single-wall carbon nanotubes, we study benzene inside zig-zag nanotubes («,0), with n ranging from 10 to 18. We explore the position and orientation of the molecule inside the cavity and find the optimal tube diameter for encapsulation to be around 1 nm. We compute that, overall, the molecule tends to align its molecular plane parallel to the tube axis. The internal orientation and molecule-wall distance depend, however, quite strongly on the tube diameter. The overall energy minimum is found for a situation in which the benzene ring takes a tilted position inside the (13,0) nanotube. Chirality turns out not to play a role in terms of the energetics. When benzene arrays are confined in nanotubes, the intermolecular distances can differ from those in the gas phase. Intermolecular interactions are important and further stabilize the peapods. As these as well as the molecule-tube interactions are governed by dispersive forces, we critically assess the performance of different DFT-based methods in this respect. Comparing four different computational schemes including both ab initio and semi-empirical treatment of van der Waals interactions, we conclude that vdW-DF is most reliable in terms of energetics and structural properties of these hybrids.
