Cichoric acid (CA) is a derivative of both caffeic acid and tartaric acid. It was isolated for the first time from Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) but it also occurs in significant amounts in Echinacea, particularly E. purpurea, dandelion leaves, basil, lemon balm and in aquatic plants, including algae and sea grasses. It has a wide spectrum of biological properties, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and other. The work yielded cichoric acid complexes with selected transition metals, i.e., copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II) and cobalt(II). In this work the dependency between the molecular structure and biological activity was discussed. The molecular structure was studied by means of infrared spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) Raman (FT-Raman)), electronic absorption spectroscopy (ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS)) and theoretical calculations (density functional theory (DFT), Hartree–Fock (HF)). Understanding the mechanism of the effect of metals on the electronic system of ligands with biological importance will facilitate in the future the search for new, effective and natural antioxidants. The composition of the studied complexes in aqueous solutions was determined at a constant pH by the Job’s method. Antioxidative properties of the tested compounds were determined using the ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate free radical method), cupric-reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) and Superoxide Dismutase Activity Assay (SOD).

The simultaneous α-iodination and Nβ-arylation mechanism of 5-alkyloxy-4-phenylamino-2(5H)-furanone by (diacetoxyiodo)benzene was investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-31G*//LANL2DZ, selecting 4-(diphenylamino)-5-methyloxy-3-iodo-2(5H)-furanone as the calculation model. In addition, the effect of solvent on the reaction pathway was investigated using the Polarisable Continuum Model (PCM). Good agreement was found between the computational and the experimental results. Furthermore, single crystals of 4-(diphenylamino)-5-ethoxy-3-iodo-2(5H)-furanone were grown by slow evaporation technique. The molecular structure analysis was performed by single crystal X-ray analysis and theoretical calculations using a semi-empirical quantum chemical method and DFT/B3LYP methods with a LANL2DZ as basis set.

The title compound, C30H44N2O4[systematic name: 2,6-didecylpyrrolo[3,4-f]isoindole-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetraone], consists of a central pyromellitic diimide moiety with terminal decyl groups at the N-atom positions. The centre of the molecule lies on a crystallographic inversion centre so the asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule. The molecule exhibits a rod-shaped conformation, like other similar compounds of this type, the distance between the ends of terminal decyl groups being 32.45 Å. The packing is dominated by a lamellar arrangement of the molecules, which is reinforced by C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—O...π interactions, forming a classic herringbone structure. The molecular structure is consistent with the theoretical calculations performed by density functional theory (DFT).

The bovine opsin protein, 6PGS, is present in the eye of the Bos taurus species, and has activity throughout the period of development of the retina, remaining until its adult stage. The interaction of the geraniol ligand, which has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, with the active site of the protein was studied through theoretical calculations using Density Functional Theory. The molecular structure results show that in the interaction process of geraniol with the active site of 6PGS there is a distortion in the geometry of the ligand. Through the UV-Vis spectra, a shift of the wavelength maximum value in relation to the free geraniol is observed, of the order of 50 nm.

The Schiff base compound, C12H7N2O2F3S, has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental analysis. The compound, an Ortep-3 [1] view of which is shown in Fig. 1, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P-1 with a= 7.5700(11) Å, b= 12.8280(16) Å, c= 13.0170(16) Å, α= 89.295(10)o, β= 88.691(11)o, γ= 82.246(11)o and Z=4 in the unit cell. The molecular structure is stabilized by C-H...O and C-H...F intramolecular hydrogen bonds and molecules are linked through intermolecular C-H...O and C-H...F type hydrogen bonds and C-H...Cg (π-ring) interaction. The molecular geometry from X-ray determination of the title compound in the ground state has been compared using the Hartre-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) [2] with 6-31G(d) [3] basis set. The results of the optimized molecular structure are exhibited and compared with the experimental X-ray diffraction. To determine conformational flexibility, molecular energy profile of the title compound was obtained by B3LYP with the 6-31G(d) basis set calculations with respect to selected degree of torsional freedom, which was varied from –1800to +1800in steps of 100. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) properties of the title molecule were investigated by theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level.

The molecular structure of alkali metal rosmarinates was studied in comparison to rosmarinic acid using FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method was used to calculate optimized geometrical structures of studied compounds, atomic charges, dipole moments, energies, as well as the wavenumbers and intensities of the bands in vibrational and NMR spectra. Theoretical parameters were compared to experimental data. Antioxidant activity was determined using two spectrophotometric methods: (i) Assessing the ability to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) stable radical and (ii) assay of antioxidant power of ferric ions reducing (FRAP). The linear correlations were found between HOMO–LUMO (highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy gap and the reducing power expressed as FRAP (R = 0.77) as well as between IC50 values (the ability of quenching DPPH radicals) and Δνas-s(COO) in IR spectra (differences between asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations bands) (R = 0.99). Photochemical properties of studied compounds were also evaluated. The influence of alkali metal on the electronic system of the rosmarinic acid molecule was discussed.

The title compound, C15H18N2O2S {systematic name: 6-[2-(cyclohexylsulfanyl)ethyl]-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine-5,7(6H)-dione}, was obtained from the reaction of pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (synonym: quinolinic anhydride) with 2-(cyclohexylsulfanyl)ethylamine. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the cyclohexyl ring and the quinolinic acid imide ring is 25.43 (11)°. In the crystal, each molecule forms two C—H...O hydrogen bonds and one weak C—O...π [O...ring centroid = 3.255 (2) Å] interaction with neighbouring molecules to generate a ladder structure along theb-axis direction. The ladders are linked by weak C—O...π [O...ring centroid = 3.330 (2) Å] interactions, resulting in sheets extending parallel to theabplane. The molecular structure is broadly consistent with theoretical calculations performed by density functional theory (DFT).

By combining mechanochemical synthesis and calorimetry with theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that dispersion-corrected periodic density functional theory (DFT) can accurately survey the topological landscape and predict relative energies of polymorphs for a previously inaccessible fluorine-substituted zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). Experimental screening confirmed two out of three theoretically anticipated polymorphs, and the calorimetric measurements provided an excellent match to theoretically calculated energetic difference between them.<br>

Thioxo, Oxo and Seleno diastereomeric cyclophosphamides containing 1,3,2- dioxaphosphorinane are prepared by a one-step chemical reaction. Their structural determination is carried out by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR (31P, 1 H, 13C) and High-Resolution Mass Spectroscopy (HRMS). The conformational study of diastereomeric products is described. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allowed the identification of preferred conformations. Experimental and calculated 31P, 13C, 1H NMR chemical shifts are compared. The molecular structure of the 2-Benzylamino-5-methyl-5- propyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane (3d) has been determined by means of crystal Xray diffraction methods.
