Abstract
ABSTRACTElectronic structures of three types of heterostructure armchair BC2N nanotube besides armchair (4,4)CNT and (4,4)BNNT were calculated by the B3LYP method of density functional theory. The reactivities of nanotubes were discussed by means of obtained vertical ionization potentials and electron affinity potentials. The corresponding electrophilicity values are well correlated with those obtained from the HOMO and LUMO energies of the nanotubes. The good linear correlation found between ω(I,A) and ω(H,L) allows to confirm the use of the easily available B3LYP/6‐31G(d) HOMO and LUMO energies to obtain reasonable values of the global electrophilicity index of nanotubes at a lower computational cost. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
