The present study describes the spectroscopic characteristics like IR and Raman active vibrations, (1H, 13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and UV-Visible spectra of the molecular geometry obtained using quantum chemistry calculations based on density functional theory approach via B3LYP hybrid functional at 6-31 + G(d, p) basis set of title bioactive natural compound. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap in titled compound is –0.14327 eV which is reasonably small and may be the prime reason for its bioactivity. Theoretical IR active vibration spectra show the maximum peak at 1146 cm–1. The maximum absorption in UV-Vis spectrum has been observed to be occurred at 329 nm. The biological activity has also been examined through virtual screening using molecular docking approach. The calculated spectroscopic characteristics are well aligned with their experi- mental counterparts. The obtained docking score predicts the title molecule to be a good naturally occurring anti diabetic agent. The outcomes of our investigation would be useful for deriving the structural analog of the title molecule for developing an efficient naturopathic anti diabetic drug agent with less side effects.

Coumarin derivatives have gathered major attention largely due to their versatile utility in a wide range of applications. In this framework, we report a comparative computational investigation on the optoelectronic properties of 3-phenylcoumarin and 3-heteroarylcoumarin derivatives established as enzyme inhibitors. Specifically, we concentrate on the variation in the optoelectronic characteristics for the hydroxyl group substitutions within the coumarin moiety. In order to realize our aims, all-electron density functional theory and time dependent density functional theory calculations were performed with a localized Gaussian basis-set matched with a hybrid exchange–correlation functionals. Molecular properties such as highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, vertical ionization (IEV) and electron affinity energies, absorption spectra, quasi-particle gap, and exciton binding energy values are examined. Furthermore, the influence of solvent on the optical properties of the molecules is considered. We found a good agreement between the experimental (8.72 eV) and calculated (8.71 eV) IEV energy values for coumarin. The computed exciton binding energy of the investigated molecules indicated their potential optoelectronics application.

A class of D-π-A compounds that can be used as dyes for applications in polymer solar cells has theoretically been designed and studied, on the basis of the dyes recently shown by experiment to have the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE), namely the poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-butylhexylthio)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-TZNT] (PBDTS-TZNT) and poly[4,8-bis(4-fluoro-5-(2-butylhexylthio)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b’]dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-TZNT] (PBDTSF-TZNT) substances. Electronic structure theory computations were carried out with density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory methods in conjunction with the 6−311G (d, p) basis set. The PBDTS donor and the TZNT (naphtho[1,2-c:5,6-c]bis(2-octyl-[1,2,3]triazole)) acceptor components were established from the original substances upon replacement of long alkyl groups within the thiophene and azole rings with methyl groups. In particular, the effects of several π-spacers were investigated. The calculated results confirmed that dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d] silole (DTS) acts as an excellent π-linker, even better than the thiophene bridge in the original substances in terms of well-known criteria. Indeed, a PBDTS-DTS-TZNT combination forms a D-π-A substance that has a flatter structure, more rigidity in going from the neutral to the cationic form, and a better conjugation than the original compounds. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap of such a D-π-A substance becomes smaller and its absorption spectrum is more intense and red-shifted, which enhances the intramolecular charge transfer and makes it a promising candidate to attain higher PCEs.

The exchange coupling constants of a Mn14 complex constituted by two weakly coupled Mn7 moieties were calculated using two different density functional theory (DFT) approaches: the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) functional with a numerical basis set and the hybrid Becke, three-parameter Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) functional employed with a Gaussian basis set. The sign and relative strength of the exchange coupling constants calculated with both methods were consistent; as expected, the values calculated with the PBE functional were slightly overestimated, as corroborated by comparison with the experimental magnetic susceptibility curve. Both methods gave a ground spin configuration of S = 3/2 for the Mn7 moiety, which was weakly antiferromagnetically coupled with the other Mn7 fragment, leading to an S = 0 ground spin configuration for the entire Mn14 complex.

Abstract Molecular orbital calculations were performed for the six saturated alkylamines (CH3NH2 , (CH3)2 NH, (CH 3)3 N, CH 3CH2NH2 , (CH3)2 CHNH2 , (CH3)3 CNH2), their protonated cations (CH3NH3 + , (CH3)2NH2 + , (CH3)3NH + , CH3CH2NH3 + , (CH3)2CHNH3 + , (CH3)3CNH3+), and (CH3)4 N + using the Hartree-Fock, second-order M0ller-Plesset, and density functional theory methods with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. Protonation lengthens the C-N bonds of the amines by 0.05 -0.08 Å and shortens the C-C bonds of CH3CH2NH2, (CH3)2CHNH2 , and (CH3)3CNH2 by ca. 0.01 Å.

 We have presented molecular structure and vibrational wavenumber assignments of 7-methyl-2,3-dihydro-(1,3)thiazolo(3,2-a)pyrimidin-5-one. Both ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional theory employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set have been used for the calculations. The scaled values of the calculated vibrational frequencies were used for assignments on the basis of potential energy distribution. The structure-activity relation has been interpreted by mapping molecular electrostatic potential surface. Electronic properties have been analyzed by using time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) for both gaseous and solvent phase. The calculated HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy values show that the charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 2, January 2018, Page: 1-11

A theoretical study of copper porphyrin (CuP), without any meso substituent, reacting with different volatile organic compounds (VOCs), recently applied as the dye in the fluorescent array sensor was calculated for the ground and excited electronic states. Geometry structures of CuP and its complexes were optimized by using density functional theory coupled with B3LYP/LAN2DZ basis set, whereas excitation energies were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory at the same level. The calculated relative energies of CuP and its complexes have displayed the following order: CuP-L6 < CuP-L1 < CuP-H2S < CuP < CuP-L4 < CuP-L2 < CuP-O2 < CuP-L5 < CuP-L3. The relative energies between CuP and propionaldehyde (L6) possess the lowest energy gap, causing the binding to react more efficiently and faster than the other complexes. The results also reveal that the addition of VOCs has a significant influence on the spectrum property and energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). This study suggests that the calculation result is useful for the application of a CuP-based fluorescent array sensor for a special analyte.

In the present work, two-armed macroinitiator containing coumarin were synthesized, characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and investigated theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The molecular geometry, fundamental vibrational frequencies, atomic charges obtained from atomic polar tensors and Mulliken were analyzed by means of structure optimizations based on the DFT method with 6-31G+(d, p) as a basis set. The 1H chemical shifts were calculated by the gauge-including atomic orbital method and compared with available experimental data. The electronic properties, such as highest occupied molecular orbital – lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energies, electron affinity, electronegativity, ionization energy, hardness, chemical potential, global softness, and global electrophilicity were calculated by using the DFT method. The electrostatic potential and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces were performed to predict the reactive sites of the two-armed macroinitiator. The energy difference between acceptor and donor and stabilization energy were determined using natural bond orbital analysis. The results show that the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfers within the polymer. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations of visible spectra were analyzed at different solvents. Finally, thermodynamic functions, such as enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy, of the two-armed macroinitiator at different temperatures were calculated and the relationship with temperature was investigated.

AbstractUsing density functional theory (DFT) methods, we shed light on the structural, optical, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of three derivatives of 9,12-diiodo-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12) (C2H10B10I2). The DFT and time-dependent DFT methods are considered very precise and practical to optimize the ground and excited state geometries, respectively. A vibrant intramolecular charge transfer from highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) was observed in all compounds. The geometrical parameters of the experimental crystal structure, i.e. bond lengths/angles, have been successfully reproduced. The HOMO and LUMO energies, as well as their energy gaps (Eg), were also calculated and compared with each other for all derivatives. The effect of attached groups on electronic, optical, and NLO properties along with detailed structure-property relationship was discussed. For NLO response, the CAM-B3LYP functional along with relatively larger basis set 6-31+G** (for hydrogen, carbon, boron, and oxygen atoms) and LANL2DZ (for iodine atoms) have been used to optimize the compounds at ground states. The calculation of second-order NLO polarizabilities (βtot) shows that compounds 2 and 3 possess the βtot amplitudes of 3029 and 4069 a.u., respectively, with CAM-B3LYP method that are reasonably larger than similar prototype molecules. Owing to their unique V-shapes, the nonlinear anisotropy values are found to be 0.63, 0.34, and 0.44 for compounds 1–3, respectively, which show the significant two-dimensional character of these compounds. Thus, the NLO amplitudes as well as the nonlinear anisotropies indicate that the above-entitled compounds are good contenders for optical and NLO applications.

The high application of Poly(styrene-maleic acid) (PSMA) in an aqueous environment, such as biomedical purposes, makes the interaction between PSMA and water molecules interesting to be investigated. This study evaluated the conformation, the hydrogen bond network, and the stabilities of all the possible intermolecular interactions between PSMA with water (PSMA−(H2O)n, n = 1–5). All calculations were executed using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP functional and the 6–311G** basis set. The energy interaction of PSMA–(H2O)5 complex was –56.66 kcal/mol, which is classified as high hydrogen bond interaction. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) – Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap decreased with the rise in the number of H2O molecules, representing a more reactive complex. The strongest hydrogen bonding in PSMA–(H2O)5 wasformed through the interaction on O72···O17–H49 with stabilizing energy of 50.32 kcal/mol, that analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. The quantum theory atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis showed that the hydrogen bonding (EHB) value on O72···O17–H49 was –14.95 kcal/mol. All computational data revealed that PSMA had moderate to high interaction with water molecules that indicated the water molecules were easily transported and kept in the PSMA matrix.

Abstract In this study, the structure of 4-[4-(diethylamino)-benzylideneamino]-5-benzyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one (DBT) was examined through spectroscopic and theoretical analyses. In this respect, the geometrical, vibrational frequency, 1H and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts, thermodynamic, hyperpolarizability, and electronic properties including the highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energies of DBT as a potential non-linear optical (NLO) material were investigated using density functional theory at the B3LYP level with the 6-311G basis set. 1H and 13C-NMR chemical shifts of DBT with the gauge-invariant atomic orbital and continuous set of gauge transformation methods (in the solvents) were estimated, and the computed chemical shift values displayed excellent alignment with observed ones. Time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations with the integral equation formalism polarizable continuum model within various solvents and gas phases in the ground state were used to evaluate UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission wavelengths. Thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy for DBT were also calculated at various temperatures. Moreover, calculations of the NLO were carried out to obtain the title compound’s electric dipole moment and polarizability properties. To illustrate the effect of the theoretical method on the spectroscopic and structural properties of DBT, experimental data of structural and spectroscopic parameters were used. The correlational analysis results were observed to indicate a strong relationship between the experimental and theoretical results.
