Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1002/qua.22724
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Geometry optimizations of monomers were carried out with the use of Becke's three‐parameter hybrid method with Lee, Yang, and Parr (B3LYP) gradient‐corrected correlation functional and the standard 6‐31G(d) basis set. UV–vis spectra of different naphthalene‐POPOP complexes using ZINDO/S method were calculated. In these complexes, poly(methyl methacrylate) effect on chromophores was neglected and chromophores were staked. Analyzing available experimental data and obtained theoretical results, the most probable complex structure is determined. Molecular model of POPOP and naphthalene dimer corresponds to this structure. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011
