A theoretical treatment is used to perform conformational studies of title compounds, which was previously successfully used within our group for characterization of fragmentation patterns of some bio-molecules. Now we present studies of electron impact ionization of 2 Furanmethanol, Tetrahydro (C5H10O2) and 3-Furanol, Tetrahydro (C4H8O2), both as important models for more complicated compounds like nucleic acids. In this paper geometry of the neutral and cationic conformers of these two molecules was optimized on the DFT level with B3LYP functional, and ionization energies were estimated. DFT calculated results are supplemented with G3MP2 calculations, and a set of higher-level ab initio methods were empirically corrected to obtain more reliable results.

In this paper we review the results of a group of computational studies of the spectroscopy and photochemistry of light-responsive proteins. We focus on the use of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics protocols based on a multiconfigurational quantum chemical treatment. More specifically, we discuss the use, limitations, and application of the ab initio CASPT2//CASSCF protocol that, presently, constitutes the method of choice for the investigation of excited state organic molecules, most notably, biological chromophores and fluorophores. At the end of this Review we will also see how the computational investigation of the visual photoreceptor rhodopsin is providing the basis for the design of light-driven artificial molecular devices.

A study of polyaromatic hydrocarbons by semiempirical PM3 and ab initio methods in MINI and STO 6G-31 bases has been performed for compounds with different numbers of rings. The optimized space and electronic structures have been derived. The multiplicity states effect on the energetic stability of the polyaromatic hydrocarbons is examined. It is shown that the high multiplicity states become more energetically preferable with the growth of the PAH size.

Structure of, and charge distribution in, some aliphatic ammonium ylides were determined by quantum chemical methods (CNDO/2, INDO, MINDO/2, PCILO, ab initio-STO-3G and 4-31G bases). Non-stabilized ylides were found to have pyramidal arrangement of bonds on the ylide carbon whereas the stabilized ylides have a planar arrangement. The charge distribution in stabilized ylides indicates a significant transfer of the negative charge from the ylide carbon to the electronegative groups. The calculated dipole moments for the previously prepared compounds, as well as for the derivatives VII and X, described in this paper, agree well with the experimental value.

Analysis of theoretical enthalpies of formation for about 300 molecules and their fragments (free radicals, biradicals, and ions) was performed to show that the results of semiempirical, DFT, and ab initio methods must be taken with great caution. A brief review of the authors' alternative empirical methodologies for calculation of enthalpies of formation for molecules (enthalpic shift procedure) and free radicals (enthalpies of isodesmic reactions) is given.

Background: Pharmacological and physicochemical classification of bases’ selected analogues of nucleic acids is proposed in the study. Objective: Structural parameters received by the PCM (Polarizable Continuum Model) with several types of calculation methods for the structures in vacuo and in the aquatic environment together with the huge set of extra molecular descriptors obtained by the professional software and literature values of biological activity were used to search the relationships. Methods: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Factor Analysis (FA) and Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR) as the types of the chemometric approach based on semi-empirical ab initio molecular modeling studies were performed. Results: The equations with statistically significant descriptors were proposed to demonstrate both the common and differentiating characteristics of the bases' analogues of nucleic acids based on the quantum chemical calculations and biological activity data. Conclusion: The obtained QSAR models can be used for predicting and explaining the activity of studied molecules.
