This study have performed for investigating on the results of adsorption of several gaseous molecules
as nitrogen and oxygen, on the open-ended and external surface of H-capped (4, 4) armchair semiconducting
Single-walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNTs), using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Geometric
optimizations were carried out at B3LYP/6-311G*level of theory using Gaussian 98 program. Structural models
are optimized and adsorption energies are obtained to investigate the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) spectroscopy parameters for (nitrogen-CNTs) and (oxygen-CNTs)
model of (4,4) armchair SWCNTs. The chemical-shielding (σii) tensors were converted to isotropic chemicalshielding
(σισο) and anisotropic chemical-shielding (Δσ) and asymmetrical (μi) parameters of 13C, 15N and 17N
nucleus for the optimized structures. NMR calculations were evinced that 13C chemical shielding armchair (4,4)
on the open ended and external surface is more sensitive to 15N and 17O molecules adsorption compared to
armchair (4,4) nanotubes. However, NMR parameters vary with the tube diameter. Chemical shielding tensors
of 15N and 17O on the surface increase to chemical shifts open ended in the physisorption and increase in the
open ended to the surface of SWCNTs armchair (4, 4). DFT calculations were performed to calculate 14N and
17O NQR spectroscopy parameters in the representative considered model of (4, 4) armchair SWCNTs.
Key words: DFT, isotropic chemical-shielding, NMR, NQR, physisorption, single-walled carbon nanotube,
