In this work, we have
investigated the xylene isomers in concepts of vertical and
adiabatic ionization energy parameters
and molecular orbital (HOMO-1, HOMO/SOMO, LUMO, LUMO+1) energies of the neutrals
and singly charged cation radicals. As a first step of the calculations, conformational analysis has been performed for all isomers using the semi-empirical method with PM3 core type
Hamiltonian. Geometry optimization and frequency
calculations were performed by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with Becke,
three-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) exchange-correlation functional and
6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. UV-Vis electronic
spectra of the neutral xylene isomers were calculated by using the TD-DFT method with cam-B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set.
