Two groups of coumarin derivatives, 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl 4-alkoxybenzoates (coumarin esters), In, and 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl 4-(2-(4-alkoxyphenyl)diazenyl) benzoates (coumarin azoesters), IIn, were synthesized and investigated for their mesophase behavior and stability. Each group constitutes five series that differ from each other by length of the mesogenic part. Within each homologous series, the length of the terminal alkoxy group varies between 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 carbons. Mesophase behavior was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and identified by polarized light microscopy (PLM). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for coumarin derivatives were discussed. The results revealed that the incorporation of azo group incorporated in the mesogenic core decreases the energy differences, increases the dipole moments and stabilities of coumarin azoesters series more than coumarin esters.

Experimental and geometrical approaches of new systems of mesomorphic 1:1 supramolecular H-bonded complexes (SMHBCs) of five rings are discussed. The H-bonding between 4-alkoxyphenylimino benzoic acids (An, as proton acceptor) and 4-(4′–pyridylazophenyl) 4′′-alkoxybenzoates (Bm, as proton donor) were investigated. Mesomorphic behaviors were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mesophase textures were identified by polarized light microscopy (POM). H-bonded assembly was established by FT-IR spectroscopic measurements via Fermi band discussion. Thermal and theoretical factors were predicted for all synthesized complexes by density functional theory (DFT) predictions. The results revealed that all prepared complexes were monomorphic, with a broad range of smectic A phases with a high thermal stability of enantiotropic mesophase. Furthermore, DFT stimulations illustrated the experimental results in terms of the influence of the chain length either of the acid or the base component. Many parameters, such as the calculated stability, the dipole moment and the polarizability of the H-bonded complexes, illustrate how these parameters work together to enhance the smectic mesophases with the obtained stability and range.

The structural and electronic properties of 3'(4-(5-oxo-5-piperidin1-1-yl)penta-1,3-dienyl)benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-yl]-thymidine molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT/3-21G*, 6-31G* and 6-31G**). The geometry of the molecule is optimized, and the electronic properties and relative energies of the molecules have been calculated by density functional theory in the ground state. The resultant dipole moments of the studied molecule are about 5.5, 6.36 and 7.35 Debyes by three levels (3-21G*, 6-31G* and 6-31G**, respectively). This property makes it an active molecule with its environment that is this molecule may interacts with its environment strongly in solution.Keywords:  3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT); Piperine; Density functional theory (DFT); Thymidine.© 2011 JSR Publications.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to calculate the optimized geometries of stepwise fluorinated methylenecyclopropanes and 1-methylcyclopropenes. Increasing the number of fluorine atoms caused a destabilization of methylenecycopropane. Perfluorinated 1-methylcyclopropene was found to be present in substantial concentration. This is supported by calculations of the Gibbs free energy, isodesmic reactions and orbital energies (HOMO-LUMO). These results are compared with the fluorinated cyclopropanes keto-enol system. Enthalpies, entropies and dipole moments are reported.

Three 1-phenylindolin-2-one derivatives, namely 1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H11NO, (I), 5-bromo-1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H10BrNO, (II), and 5-iodo-1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H10INO, (III), have been synthesized and their structures determined. Compounds (I) and (II) crystallized in the centrosymmetric space groupsPbcaandP21/c, respectively, while compound (III) crystallized in the polar space groupAea2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the molecular dipole moment gradually decreases in the order (I) > (II) > (III). The relatively smaller dipole moment of (III) and the larger non-electrostatic intermolecular interactions may be the main reasons for the noncentrosymmetric and polar structure of (III).

The thermal stability and kinetics of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) decomposition were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the thermal decomposition reaction mechanism was determined by density functional theory (DFT). With the help of parameter values from the non-isothermal DSC curves of HAN, the thermal decomposition activation energy and pre-exponential constant were obtained by the Kissinger and Ozawa methods. Then, the most probable mechanism function was calculated by the Šatava–Šesták method. Seven different paths for the thermal decomposition mechanism of HAN were formulated and DFT at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level was used to carry out the dynamics analysis. The calculated results show that the values of the activation energy calculated by the Kissinger and Ozawa methods are 67.892 and 70.412 kJ mol−1 respectively. The most probable mechanism function calculated by the Šatava–Šesták method is [Formula: see text]. The path being favoured energetically in the dynamics is in the order: Path6 > Path5 > Path4 > Path1 > Path2 > Path7 > Path3.

Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.
