The geometric, electronic structure, effect of the substitution, and structure physical-chemistry relationship for oxazoles derivatives have been studied by ab initio and DFT theory. In the present work, the calculated values, namely, net charges, bond lengths, dipole moments, electron affinities, heats of formation, and QSAR properties are reported and discussed in terms of the reactivity of oxazole derivatives.

The quantum defect theory is used to test the accuracy of ab initio methods and density functional theory (DFT) in calculating the frequency-dependent polarizabilities of diatomic molecules. We confine ourselves to testing only those variants of these methods that are most accurate for calculating static polarizabilities. The test results show that one of the main errors of the ab initio and DFT methods is associated with inaccuracies in determining the energies of excited states, where frequency-dependent polarizabilities have resonance maxima.

<div>Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO) is the main enzyme involved in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fixation in the biosphere. This enzyme catalyses a set of five chemical steps that take place in the same active-site within magnesium (II) coordination sphere. Here, a set of electronic structure benchmark calculations have been carried out on a reaction path proposed by Gready <i>et al.</i> by means of the projector-based embedding approach. Activation and reaction energies for all main steps catalyzed by RuBisCO have been calculated at the MP2, SCS-MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ and cc-pVDZ levels of theory. </div><div><br></div><div>The treatment of the magnesium cation with post-HF methods is explored to determine the nature of its involvement in the mechanism. With the high-level ab initio values as a reference, we tested the performance of a set of density functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation (xc) functionals in reproducing the reaction energetics of RuBisCO carboxylase activity on a set of model fragments. Different DFT xc-functionals show large variation in activation and reaction energies. Activation and reaction energies computed at the B3LYP level are close to the reference SCS-MP2 results for carboxylation, hydration and protonation reactions.</div><div><br></div><div>However, for the carbon-carbon bond dissociation reaction, B3LYP and other functionals give results that differ significantly from the ab initio reference values. The results show the applicability of the projector-based embedding approach to metalloenzymes. This technique removes the uncertainty associated with the selection of different DFT xc-functionals and so can overcome some of inherent limitations of DFT calculations, complementing and potentially adding to modelling of enzyme reaction mechanisms with DFT methods.</div>

AbstractNovel dicyanoisophorone derivative, (E)-2-(3-(4-aminostyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile, is synthesized and its structure elucidated by means of conventional and linear polarized IR-spectroscopy of oriented colloids in nematic host, 1H, 13C, 1H, 1H-COSY NMR, HPLC tandem ESI MS-MS spectrometry, UV-VIS and thermal methods. Ab initio and DFT level of theory are used to theoretically obtain the electronic structure and optical properties, both in ground and exited state, of the compound.
