A density functional theory (DFT) study was performed to examine intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bond (HB) properties in crystalline salicylic acid (SA). BLYP, B3LYP, and M06 functionals with 6–311++G** basis set were employed to calculate NMR chemical shielding isotropy (σiso) and anisotropy (Δσ) at the sites of the 17O and 1H nuclei of SA. From this study, it appears that the intra- and inter-molecular O–H···O as well as C–H···O HBs around the SA molecule in the crystal lattice have a major influence on the chemical shielding tensors and more specifically on the carbonyl 17O isotropy value. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis was also employed to elucidate the interaction characteristics in SA H-bonded network. Based on QTAIM results, a partial covalent character is attributed to the intra- and inter-molecular O–H···O HBs in SA.

In this work, the necessity of synthesis of 1,3-di(hetero)aryl-7-substituted pyrenes is presented based on the results of theoretical calculations by using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) by using Gaussian 09 program with B3LYP exchange-correlation functional and 6-31G** basis set. What is more, the synthetic routes with feasible reagents and conditions are presented. The subject of theoretical considerations are two pyrene derivatives which contain at position 1 and 3 pyrazolyl substituents and at position 7 amine (1) or boron (2) derivative. The theoretical calculations were also performed for the osmium complexes with mentioned ligands (3 and 4). The influence of electron-donating/accepting character of the substituent at position 7 of pyrene on the properties of molecules has been established.

This work presents a complete vibrational analysis of iron [ Fe (II) and Fe (III)] and nickel [ Ni (II)] complexes with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin [OTPPH] and 5,20-bis(p-tolyl)-10,15-diphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin [ODTDPPH]. In these porphyrins, a furan ring replaces one of the pyrrole rings. The six-coordinate (OTPP) FeIIICl2 and (ODTDPP) FeIIICl2 as well as the five-coordinate (OTPP) FeIICl and (OTPP) NiIICl complexes were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. The experimental part of this work involved Fourier-transform absorption infrared (FT-IR), resonance Raman (RR), and electron absorption (UV-vis) measurements for all of the investigated complexes. In the theoretical section, optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies for model compounds are provided. The theoretical calculations were performed at the B3LYP level with the LANL2DZ basis set. Good agreement was achieved between the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra. In addition, charge distributions (GAPT) and geometrical aromaticity indices (Bird's I5 and HOMA) were calculated and discussed.

The simultaneous α-iodination and Nβ-arylation mechanism of 5-alkyloxy-4-phenylamino-2(5H)-furanone by (diacetoxyiodo)benzene was investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-31G*//LANL2DZ, selecting 4-(diphenylamino)-5-methyloxy-3-iodo-2(5H)-furanone as the calculation model. In addition, the effect of solvent on the reaction pathway was investigated using the Polarisable Continuum Model (PCM). Good agreement was found between the computational and the experimental results. Furthermore, single crystals of 4-(diphenylamino)-5-ethoxy-3-iodo-2(5H)-furanone were grown by slow evaporation technique. The molecular structure analysis was performed by single crystal X-ray analysis and theoretical calculations using a semi-empirical quantum chemical method and DFT/B3LYP methods with a LANL2DZ as basis set.

Theoretical calculations have been achieved to study the interaction between the confined F2 molecule along the nanotube axis and perpendicular to it and armchair (n,n) single-walled carbon nanotubes with n = 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 and the zig-ag nanotube (9,0) using the density functional theory method with the CAM-B3LYP functional and both cc-pVQZ and STO-3G basis sets. The interaction of the F2 molecule with the nanotube is different according to the molecular orientation, the chirality of the carbon nanotube, and the confinement space extension. These results interpreted by means of van der Waals interactions reveal anisotropic and competitive behavior at the nanometric level. The π electrons of the nanotube interact with the lone pairs of F2 highlighting its lateral polarizability. The encapsulated F2 molecule is stable along and perpendicular to the nanotube (5,5) and (6,6) axis. The best stabilization energy is obtained fornanotube (5,5) at the perpendicular position using the cc-pVQZ basis set.

The IR spectrum of hollow spherical molecule (SiO2)20(H2O)10 have been calculated within harmonic approximation using density functional theory method (exchange-correlation functional B3LYP and basis set 6-31G (d, p)) and an assignment have been made of the frequencies to the forms of vibrations. It has been shown that the theoretically calculated spectrum of molecule (SiO2)20(H2O)10 is consistent with the experimental spectra of nanospheres, so the molecule (SiO2)20(H2O)10 and its higher homologues can be used in quantum-chemical calculations of the properties of synthesized hollow nanospheres (d ≈ 290 nm).
