Raman scattering and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra of α-pinene and trans-pinane were measured for both enantiomers. The experiment was performed on a newly built, fully computer-controlled backscattering incident circular polarization ROA instrument. High-quality spectra were obtained and interpreted on the basis of ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Excellent agreement between the calculated and observed spectra was observed in the mid IR region. An approximate distributed origin gauge model for calculation of the polarization tensors was proposed. The shapes of ROA spectra calculated with this model are similar to those obtained with conventional, computationally more demanding ROA computations.

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.

<p>This article presents theoretical data on geometric and energetic features of halobenzenes and xylenes. Data were obtained from <i>ab initio</i> geometry optimization and frequency calculations at HF, B3LYP, MP2 and CCSD levels of theory on 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. In total, 1504 structures of halobenzenes, three structures of xylenes and one structure of benzene were generated and processed by custom-made codes in Mathematica. The quantum chemical calculation was completed in Q-Chem software package. Geometric and energetic data of the compounds are presented in this paper as supplementary tables. Raw output files as well as codes and scripts associated with production and extraction of data are also provided.</p>
