ABSTRACTComputations of isomeric fullerenes are performed at semiempirical and ab initio quantum-chemical levels: C36, C72, C88. C36 fullerenes and quasi-fullerenes are computed at the SAM1 level, and then at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. Altogether 598 cages are considered. The SAM1 method is also applied to C72, i.e., the solitary isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) structure and several non-IPR isomers. Finally, the complete set of thirty five topologically different IPR isomers of C88 is computed. In all the cases, energetics is combined with entropy contributions based on the harmonic-oscillator and rigid-rotator model. Considerable temperature effects on the relative stabilities in the systems are found. Relationships to available observed data are discussed throughout and a good agreement is found.

Some features of hydrogen bonding effects for the phenylon polymer matrix filled with a terlon fiber have been investigated at ab initio approximation. The results of calculations for isolated and dimerized structural forms of N-phenylbenzamide as a model compound are in good agreement with the spectral data for this composite material building.

Aim and Objective: Synthesis of new .-aminophosphonates containing quinazoline moiety through Kabachnik-Fields reaction in the presence of copper triflate catalyst [32], followed by studying their antimicrobial activities and in vitro anticancer activities against liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) with the hope that new anticancer agents could be developed. Also, the quantum chemical calculations are performed using density functional theory (DFT) to study the effect of the changes of molecular and electronic structures on the biological activity of the investigated compounds. Materials and Method: The structures of the synthesized compounds are confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR and MS spectral data. The synthesized compounds show significant antimicrobial and also remarkable cytotoxicity anticancer activities against liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2). Density functional theory (DFT) was performed to study the effect of the molecular and electronic structure changes on the biological activity. Results: It was found that the electronic structure of the substituents affects on the reaction yield. The electron withdrawing substituent, NO2 group 3b, on the aromatic aldehydes gave a good yield more than the electron donating substituent, OH group 3c. The electron deficient on the carbon atom of the aldehydic group may increase the interaction of the Lewis acid (Cu(OTf)2) and the Lewis base (imine nitrogen), and accordingly, facilitate the formation of imine easily, which is attacked by the nucleophilic phosphite species to give the α- aminophosphonates. Conclusion: The newly synthesized compounds exhibit a remarkable inhibition of the growth of Grampositive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi at low concentrations. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds showed a significant cytotoxicity against the liver cancer cell line (HepG 2). Also, it was shown from the quantum chemical calculations that the electron-withdrawing substituent increases the biological activity of the α-aminophosphonates more than the electron donating group which was in a good agreement with the experimental results. Also, a good agreement between the experimental FT-IR and the calculated one was found.

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.

Ab initio MO optimalization of the 2H-pyran molecule leads to a defined equilibrium geometry of this so far not identified heterocyclic molecule and to a physical justification of its existence. More advanced nonempirical wavefunctions and temperature corrections indicate that heterocyclic molecule I is energetically less stable than non-cyclic isomers II and III. Wavenumbers of fundamental vibrational transitions of heterocycle I and also known (2E)-2,4-pentadienal (IIIb were calculated using 3-21 G wavefunctions. The vibrational spectrum of compound I is predicted on the basis of correlation corrections.

AbstractBased on structures determined by X-ray crystallography, ab initio MP2 calculations on type A mesoionic rings give geometries in good agreement with observed values. A study of four mesoionic ring systems, each with exocyclic oxygen, nitrogen or carbon groups, shows that the presence and configuration of exocyclic lone pairs significantly influences the geometry and configurational preference. Using a localised bond model and NBO analysis, these effects are rationalised in terms of an anomeric interaction of lone pairs with the antibonding orbitals of adjacent σ bonds. In agreement with experiment, similar effects are calculated for pyran-2-imines.

The method of increments is a wavefunction-based ab initio correlation method for solids, which explicitly calculates the many-body wavefunction of the system. After a Hartree-Fock treatment of the infinite system the correlation energy of the solid is expanded in terms of localised orbitals or of a group of localised orbitals. The method of increments has been applied to a great variety of materials with a band gap, but in this paper the extension to metals is described. The application to solid mercury is presented, where we achieve very good agreement of the calculated ground-state properties with the experimental data.
