Abstract:
In this work, the adsorption behavior of hydrogenated borophene to amino acids was examined to provide its geometric and electronic structures information and to check whether hydrogenated borophenes’ potential can be used in new biosensor devices for amino acids or not. In the aspect of this thesis adsorption of 4 amino acids from different types of amino acid classes (acidic, basic, nonpolar, and polar) on hydrogenated borophene surfaces has been studied by computational chemistry methods. Electronic and geometric structures of B36H6 and its complexes with glycine, tyrosine, aspartic acid, and histidine were obtained by DFT calculations at B3LYP-D2 / 6-311G** level of theory. In the energetically most favorable configurations of complexes, amino acids approaching from the bottom of the B36H6 surface with a horizontal orientation (exception for histidine complexes) of amino acid was observed. The most reactive parts of the B36 structure (edges) have been stabilized with hydrogenation, the whole boron cluster became more stable and adsorption ability has fallen. It was found that hydrogenated borophene has indistinguishable electronic responses for each the amino acids studied in this thesis since the complexes exhibited nearly the same band gap. Thus, hydrogenated borophene shows no sensor ability to GLY, TYR, ASP, and HIS.
