Ibrutinib, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase that plays an essential role in the B-cell development and cancer cells, has been recently approved to treat chronic, lymphocytic, and other types of leukemia. This study focused on investigating ibrutinib by its electronic transitions, vibrational frequencies, and electrospray mass spectra. The experimental peaks for electronic spectrum were found at 248.0 and 281.0 nm, whereas the νC = 0 stretching frequency was found at 1652.4 and 1639.19 cm−1. These experimental properties were compared with the corresponding theoretical calculations in which density functional theory was applied. The optimized structure was obtained with the calculations using a hybrid function (B3LYP) and high-level basis sets [6-311G++(d,p)]. Most of the calculated vibrational frequencies showed a relatively good agreement with the experimental ones. The electronic transitions of ibrutinib calculated using time-dependent DFT method were performed at two different solvation methods: PCM and SMD. The mass spectrum of ibrutinib, its fragments, and its isotopic pattern agreed well with the expected spectra.

A new Cu(I) complex constructed by reaction of trithiocyanuric acid (ttc) and copper (II) perchlorate hexahydrate has been successfully synthesized by a slow sedimentation method in a DMF solvent at room temperature. The molecular structure of the compound was elucidated by MALDI-TOFMS, UV Vis and FTIR spectroscopy, DSC-TGA analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurement. The proposed structure was corroborated by a computational study carried out with the Gaussian09 and AIMAII programs using the RB3LYP hybrid DFT functional with both 6-31G and Alhrich-TZV basis sets. The calculated vibrational frequencies values were compared with experimental FTIR values. Photophysical properties of the synthesized complex were evaluated by UV-Visible spectroscopy and compared with computed vertical excitation obtained from TDDFT. The theoretical vibrational frequencies and the UV Vis spectra are in good agreement with the experimental values. Additionally, the Frontier Molecular Orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) and the Molecular Electrostatic Potential of the complex was calculated using same theoretical approximation. The results showed the interaction between three coordinatedl igand atoms and the Cu(I) ion.

The equilibrium structure, spectroscopic constants and anharmonic force field of AsH2 have been investigated at B3LYP, B3PW91 and MP2 methods employing the basis sets of cc-pVNZ and aug-cc-pVNZ (N ∈ { T , Q }), respectively. The computed geometries, rotational constants, part of vibrational frequencies, quartic and sextic centrifugal distortion constants are compared with the available experimental data or theoretical results. The other vibrational frequencies, equilibrium rotational constants, anharmonic constants, vibration–rotation interaction constants, cubic and quartic force constants of AsH2 are also predicted for the first time. Furthermore, the calculated results show that the DFT method is superior to MP2 at the calculations of geometries, spectroscopic constants and force constants. The B3PW91/aug-cc-pVQZ results are more reliable. Our predictions can provide useful data for the experimental studies of the corresponding spectroscopic constants of AsH2 .

Quantum mechanical electronic structure methods are employed to investigate the isomeric and conformeric stuctures of methyl iodoperoxide. Optimized geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies are calculated at the MP2 level of theory using two types of basis sets, the 6-311G(d,p) for all atoms and the 6-311G(d,p) combined with the LANL2DZ relativistic ECP procedure for iodine. Refinement of the energetics has been accomplished by performing single-point CCSD(T) calculations. Five isomers were determined in total among which iodomethyl hydroperoxide (ICH2OOH) is found to be the lowest energy structure. Conformational barriers and transition states that connect the isomeric forms have been characterized.Key words: methyl iodoperoxide, isomers, conformers.

The geometries of four stationary structures of 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine have been optimized with the 3-21g and 3-21g(N*) basis sets. The lowest-energy and only equilibrium structure predicted by these calculations is the 'perpendicular' CS form (7). All its calculated vibrational frequencies are real and, after zero-point vibrational-energy corrections, it lies 26.9 kJ mol-1 below the 'parallel' C, structure (6), here characterized as the transition structure for internal rotation about the N-NH2 bond (cf. 26.5 kJ mol-1 for the corresponding structures of 1H-pyrrol-1-amine, but only 8.7 kJ mol-1 for the corresponding structures of 2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-amine). The transition structure for inversion at the NH2 centre is, as for 1H-pyrrol-1-amine and 2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-amine, the perpendicular C2v � structure (5), the barrier being 21.4 kJ mol-1 (cf. 24-26 kJ mol-1 for the two reference azolamines ). The planar C2v structure (4) is a second-order saddle point lying 66.6 kJ mol-1 above the equilibrium structure (cf. 69.4 kJ mol-1 for 1H-pyrrol-1-amine, but only 41 .7 kJ mol-1 for 2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-amine). The calculated NH-stretching vibrational frequencies for 4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-amine are c. 20 cm-1 higher than those of 1H-pyrrol-1-amine and their splitting is c. 8 cm-1 greater but they show a very similar relative-intensity pattern, quite unlike that calculated for 2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-amine. ′
