Abstract
The electronic structure and electronic charge density of the monoclinic phase Di-2-pyrymidonium dichloride-di-iodide compound is studied by using the local density approximation (LDA) and Engel Vosko generalized gradient approximation (EVGGA). Using LDA for exchange correlation potential, we have optimized the atomic positions taken from the X-ray crystallographic data by minimization of the forces acting on the atoms. From the relaxed geometry the electronic structure, electronic charge density and the optical properties were determined. Band structures disclose that this compound has indirect energy band gap. The obtained energy band gap value using EVGGA (2.010eV) is larger than that obtained within LDA (1.781eV). To envision the chemical bonding nature between the composition of the investigated compound, the distribution of charge density was discussed in the (−101) crystallographic plane. The contour plot shows partial ionic and strong covalent bonding between C–O, N–C and C–H atoms. The optical properties of Di-2-pyrymidonium dichloride-di-iodide are obtained by the calculation of the dielectric function.
