Abstract

Using Kohn-Sham (KS) density-functional theory, we have studied the interaction between various polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The systems range from monocyclic benzene up to hexabenzocoronene (hbc). For several conventional exchange-correlation functionals total potential-energy curves of interaction of the pi-pi stacking hbc dimer are reported. It is found that all pure local density or generalized gradient approximated functionals yield qualitatively incorrect predictions regarding structure and interaction. Inclusion of a nonlocal, atom-centered correction to the KS Hamiltonian enables quantitative predictions. The computed potential-energy surfaces of interaction yield parameters for a coarse-grained potential, which can be employed to study discotic liquid-crystalline mesophases of derived polyaromatic macromolecules.
