The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, and infrared intensities of thetert-butyl 3a-chloroperhydro-2,6a-epoxyoxireno[e]isoindole-5-carboxylate were calculated by the HF and DFT (BLYP and B3LYP) methods using 6-31G(d) and 6-31G(d,p) basis sets. The FT infrared spectrum of the solid sample was measured under standard condition. We obtained two stable conformers for the title compound; however Conformer 1 is approximately 0.2 kcal/mol more stable than the Conformer 2. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometry of the title compound shows that the X-ray parameters fairly well reproduce the geometry of Conformer 2. Comparison of the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of the title molecule and calculated results by HF and DFT methods indicates that B3LYP is superior for molecular vibrational problems. The harmonic vibrations computed by the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method are in a good agreement with the observed IR spectral data. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted by means of potential energy distributions (PEDs) using VEDA 4 program.

The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, Raman scattering activities and several thermodynamic parameters of anilinium nitrate in the ground state have been calculated by both Hartree-Fock (HF) and three density functional theory (DFT) methods (B3LYP, BLYP and B3PW91) using the 6-31G(d) basis set. The results of the optimized molecular structure are presented and compared with the experimental X-ray structure. The optimized geometric bond lengths are described very well by the HF method while bond angles are reproduced more accurately by the DFT methods. Comparison between the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of anilinium nitrate and the results of DFT and HF methods indicates that B3LYP is superior to the scaled HF, BLYP and B3PW91 approaches for molecular vibrational problems. The computed vibrational frequencies are used to determine the types of molecular motions associated with each of the experimental bands observed. In addition, calculated results are related to the linear correlation plot of computed data versus experimental geometric parameters and IR data.

Leukemia Treatment

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.

Various density functional theory (DFT) methods with different basis sets to predict the molecular geometry of FbC-M10Iso-Bn macrocycle, a chlorin-isoimide, are compared in this study. DFT methods, including M06-2X, B3LYP, LSDA, B3PW91, PBEPBE, and BPV86, are examined. Different basis sets, such as 6-31G*, 6-31+G (d, p), 6-311+G (d, p), 6-311++G (d, p), cc-PVDZ, cc-PVTZ, and cc-PVQZ are also considered. The examined hybrid DFT methods are in agreement with the geometry of X-ray crystallography available for comparison. B3LYP/cc-PVDZ level is particularly consistent with available X-ray crystallography in terms of predicting the geometries of FbC-M10Iso-Bn. Geometries of chlorin-imide and chlorin-isoimide isomeric pairs are described through B3LYP/cc-PVDZ method. The bond lengths of chlorin-isoimide, specifically C13–C14, C14–C15, and C2–C3, increase as bond overlap index decreases because of charge transfer. β-β bond lengths (C2–C3 bond lengths) with a three-substituent benzylcarbamoyl group also increase as bond overlap index decreases compared with other molecules. The bond lengths of chlorin-imide are smaller than those of chlorin-isoimide. Angles with β-β bond lengths, specifically C2–C3–C4 in ring A, also decrease with a three-substituent benzylcarbamoyl group; however, the angles in C1–C2–C3 increase. Potential energy on the surfaces of the chlorin-imide and chlorin-isoimide isomeric pairs is optimized by calculating the total and relative energies at B3LYP/cc-PVDZ level. Results indicate that chlorin-imides are more stable than chlorin-isoimides. Normal-coordinate structural decomposition shows that chlorin-imides exhibit greater deformation than chlorin-isoimides except for FbC-M10Iso-Ph.

Fourier Transfer infrared and Raman spectra in the range of 4000-400 cm-1 and 3500-50 cm-1 were recorded to study the vibrational spectra of 5-chloro-2-hydroxyacetophenone (CHAP). Using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets the various geometrical parameters such as Raman activities, infrared intensities and optimum frequencies were calculated. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been computed which confirms the charge transfer of the molecular system. Mulliken’s atomic charges associated with each atom and thermodynamic parameters have also been reported with the same level of DFT.

The interaction between nickel (Ni2+), copper (Cu2+), and zinc (Zn2+) ions and 1-methylimidazole has been studied by exploring the geometries of eleven crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The coordination behavior of the respective ions was further investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods. The gas-phase complexes were fully optimized using B3LYP/GENECP functionals with 6-31G∗ and LANL2DZ basis sets. The Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes show distorted tetrahedral geometries around the central ions, with Zn2+ being a perfect tetrahedron. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and natural population analysis (NPA) show substantial reduction in the formal charge on the respective ions. The interaction between metal d-orbitals (donor) and ligand orbitals (acceptor) was also explored using second-order perturbation of the Fock matrix. These interactions followed the order Ni2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ with Zn2+ having the least interaction with the ligand orbitals. Examination of the frontier orbitals shows the stability of the complexes in the order Ni2+ > Cu2+ < Zn2+ which is consistent with the Irving–Williams series.

A systematic theoretical study on various maleic acid (MA) clusters has been carried out employing density functional theory (DFT) methods. The performance of two different functionals namely B3LYP and M06 in the prediction of geometries, 17 O and 2 H nuclei quadrupole coupling constant (CQ) values of the MA clusters has been assessed comparing the results to those experimental data. For DFT calculations, several basis sets have been used, including the recently developed Jensen's polarization-consistent basis set families, pcJ-n and pcS-n (n = 0,1,2,3). Calculations at the basis set limit indicate that the value of CQ(2 H ) in monomer MA, changes by 0.01–0.04 kHz for each of the final two basis set increments, and seems reasonable to conclusion that the pcJ-3 result is within a few kHz of the basis set limit. Convergence with respect to basis set size was found to be very good, and the pcJ-1 and pcS-1 basis sets provided a good compromise between the basis set limit and computational expense. In most cases, the differences between B3LYP and M06 results for a given basis set are in a range of 1–2%. On the other hand, no systematic changes in the CQ(17 O ) or CQ(2 H ) were found for basis sets larger than double-ζ. Thus, the usual assumption that double-ζ basis set (pcJ-1 and pcS-1) results in the acceptable CQ values, seems to be valid in the case of 17 O and 2 H nuclei.

Experimental Geometry

The experimental geometry obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for a metalladiphosphanyl carbene precursor is compared with the results of theoretical calculations made at the ab initio level by using Hartree–Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods over the carbene itself. Theoretical geometry optimizations for the singlet ground state of [ Mn(CO)4(PH2)2C: ]+ have been performed with several hybrid functionals and basis sets. Calculated geometries showed a perfect C 2v symmetry in the highest levels of calculation and were somewhat relaxed when compared with the experimental ones; for instance, with the largest basis set, the P–C–P angle found was 124.8°, whereas C–P bond distances were both 1.667 Å, compared to 103.5(3)° and 1.718(5) Å, respectively, from the experimental data. The absence of a ligand attached to the C : atom in the calculated structure, which is present in the form of iodine in the experimental complex, is probably responsible, to a certain extent, for the discrepancies. In addition to the structural computations, in order to theoretically quantify the highly electrophilic character expected for the carbene, electron affinities were calculated and found to be between 6.24 eV and 6.97 eV at different DFT levels of calculation, which confirmed the expectations. In this respect, a comparison with the analogous [Ru(CNH)4(PH2)2C:]2+ carbene is also made, showing the possibility of experimentally trapping the manganese carbene.

The benchmark study has assessed the performance of 18 density functional theory (DFT) functionals, including GGAs, hybrid-GGAs, meta-GGAs, and hybrid meta-GGAs, in predicting bonding strength, barrier height and structure for systems involving Lewis acids and bases. Three databases were built for the study, including 15 bonding enthalpies of dative bonds (DBH15), 10 reaction barriers (BH10) and 10 X-ray structures (XCS10). Wavefunction-based ab initio calculations were also carried out for comparisons. The benchmark data were computed at the CCSD(T)/BSI//MP2/BSI(BSI=aug-cc-pVTZ) level. The 6-311++G(d,p)(BSII) and 6-31G(d,p)(BSIII) basis sets were employed in DFT calculations. Generally, M06-2X/BSII and M05-2X/BSII outperform the other tested DFT methods. M05-2X/BSIII and M06-2X/BSIII are less accurate than M05-2X/BSII and M06-2X/BSII (or M05-2X/BSII//M05-2X/BSIII and M06-2X/BSII//M06-2X/BSIII), suggesting that large basis sets (e.g. BSII) are necessary to improve energetics. SCS-MP2 is less accurate than MP2, consistently overestimating bonding enthalpies and reaction barriers. Moreover, six DFT functionals (M05-2X, M06-2X, B3LYP, ωB97X-D, BMK and B97-D) were examined by comparing with the experimental bonding enthalpies of eighteen donor–acceptor complexes, which indicate that M05-2X and M06-2X are still better than others. Nevertheless, M05-2X and M06-2X significantly overestimate or underestimate the bonding enthalpies of F-substituted complexes, implying the necessity of improving the two functionals for describing fluorides. Using the six basis sets (BSI, cc-pVTZ, aug-cc-pVDZ, cc-pVDZ, TZVP and BSII) and DBH15 and BH10 databases, the influence of the basis sets on the performance of M06-2X functional was examined, which reveals that BSII is the most suitable basis set for the functional.

Abstract The performance of ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) methods in calculating the vibrational wavenumbers in the isolated state was analyzed. To correct the calculated values, several scaling procedures were described in detail. The two linear scaling equation (TLSE) procedure leads to the lowest error and it is recommended for scaling. A comprehensive compendium of the main scale factors and scaling equations available to date for a good accurate prediction of the wavenumbers was also shown. Examples of each case were presented, with special attention to the benzene and uracil molecules and to some of their derivatives. Several DFT methods and basis sets were used. After scaling, the X3LYP/DFT method leads to the lowest error in these molecules. The B3LYP method appears closely in accuracy, and it is also recommended to be used. The accuracy of the results in the solid state was shown and several additional corrections are presented.

The geometries and harmonic vibration frequencies of the Cu+ ·O2 and Cu+ ·N2 are determined by various density functional theory (DFT) methods employing different basis sets. The potential energy surfaces (PES) are examined. The Cu+ ·O2 adduct exhibits a bent structure with a binding energy of 12.4 kcal mol−1, whereas Cu+ ·N2 exhibits a linear configuration with a binding energy of 23.5 kcal mol−1. The binding energy values for the two adducts agree well with the available published experimental and theoretical data and hence are reliable.
