Abstract

A graphene sheet (C102H30) has been rolled up by computational quantum chemistry methods to construct single-walled carbon nanotube fragments (SWCNTFs). The anion-π interactions of F- anion together with π-π stacking interactions of benzene on inner face and outer face of the central rings of SWCNTFs have been concurrently investigated. Structural parameters and energy data of the ternary benzene-SWCNTF-F- complexes were considered. Also, effects of charge transfer and aromaticity were estimated to determine how curvature of graphene influences on simultaneous anion-π and π-π stacking interactions.  Results indicate that curvature of graphene leads to structural changes in SWCNTFs which effects on simultaneous interactions of F- anion and benzene with SWCNTFs. Also, results show that although p-p stacking is a weak interaction, but it can impact on order of binding energies in complexes involved both p-p stacking and anion-p interactions.
