Pteridines, 1998

SummaryAb initio quantum chemical computations at the Hartree-Fock 6-31g** level of theory were performed on pterin, 7,8-dihydropterin and 5,6,7,8 -tetrahydropterin. The resulting electronic charge density functions and the electrostatic potential functions of the molecules are visualized by graphical software. The results demonstrate the profound changes in electronic properties among these structurally closely related compounds. Our contribution may serve as a basis for deeper insight into the molecular characteristics, also of other chemically or biologically important pterin derivatives of different oxidation state.

Quantum mechanical study of substituted phenoxathiin: A study of the structure of fluorinated phenoxathiins

Journal of Molecular Structure: THEOCHEM, 2010

The effect induced by introducing electron captor substituent, namely, fluorine in the arene rings of phenoxathiin on the structure of the phenoxathiin nucleus have been studied using the ab initio method at the B3LYP/(6-31+G)+d basis set level. The study predicts and analyses the configuration of several not yet synthesized fluorinated-phenoxathiin derivatives. Thus, the magnitude of change in the puckering angle U c of phenoxathiin was found to be dependent on the position of the fluorine atom with respect to the oxygen atom of the central heterocyclic ring. Substitution at the 1-position, meta to the oxygen did induce flattening of the nucleus i.e. increased U c , while substitutions at the 2-and 4-positions, para and ortho to the oxygen, respectively, induced further puckering on the nucleus i.e. decreased U c. Successive substitution at these positions enhanced these effects. Thus, 1,9-difluorophenoxathiin was found to be the most flattened, while 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexafluorophenoxathiin was found to be the most puckered fluorinated phenoxathiins. The predicted inversion barrier for all the studied compounds was very small; it did not exceed 1.67 kcal/mol for the most puckered isomer. Consequently, we anticipated these compounds to enjoy an easy butterfly interconversion.

The vibrational and NMR spectra, conformations and ab initio calculations of phenylaminomethylene- and 1-phenylaminoethylidene-propanedinitrile

Journal of Molecular Structure, 1999

The IR (4000-400 cm Ϫ1) and Raman (4000-50 cm Ϫ1) spectra of 3-methoxymethylene-2,4-pentanedione (H 3 CO -CHyC (COCH 3) 2) in the liquid and solute forms in various solvents of different polarity were recorded at ambient temperature. Additional IR and Raman spectra were obtained for amorphous and crystalline solid at low temperature. The vibrational spectra revealed that compound exists atleast in two dominant conformers with different polarity and that conformer present in the solid phase is less polar. NMR spectra in various solvents at different temperatures were also obtained.The compound can exist in several conformers as a result of rotation around O-Cy and both yC-C bonds with planar or nonplanar arrangement of the heavy atoms. Semiempirical (AM1, PM3, MNDO, MINDO3) and ab initio using TZP and 6-31G** basis sets calculations were carried out. According to ab initio calculations at least five conformational structures with the methoxy group oriented as anti or syn and carbonyl groups oriented as Z or E towards the CyC double bond were obtained at energy surface. The calculated ab initio and AM1 energies of all conformers suggest as the most stable anti-ZE conformer where Z and E regard of the trans and cis acetyl group, respectively. As the second most stable conformer with energy at least 10 kJ mol Ϫ1 higher was calculated anti-EZ conformer. Assignments of the vibrational spectra for the studied compound were made with the aid of normal coordinate calculations employing scaled ab initio force field constants. The scaled ab initio frequencies as well as calculated energies indicate that the conformer present in the solid phase is anti-ZE.

The proton transfer process observed in the structure analysis and DFT calculations of (E)-2-ethoxy-6-[(2-methoxyphenylimino)methyl]phenol

Structural Chemistry, 2010

The crystal and molecular structures of an o-hydroxy Schiff base derivative, (E)-2-ethoxy-6-[(2methoxyphenylimino)methyl]phenol, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses at 296 and 100 K. The results from temperature-dependent structural analysis regarding the tautomeric equilibrium of the compound were interpreted with the aid of quantum chemical calculations. To clarify the tautomerization process and its effects on the molecular geometry, the gasphase geometry optimizations of two possible tautomers of the title molecule, its OH and NH form, were achieved using DFT calculations with B3LYP method by means of 6-31 ? G(d,p) basis set. In order to describe the potential barrier belonging to the phenolic proton transfer, nonadiabatic Potential Energy Surface (PES) scan was performed based on the optimized geometry of the OH tautomeric form by varying the redundant internal coordinate, O-H bond distance. The Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity (HOMA) indices were calculated in every step of the scan process so as to express the deformation in the aromaticities of principal molecular moieties of the compound. The results show that there is a dynamic equilibrium between the aromaticity level of phenol and chelate ring and furthermore p-electron coupling affecting overall molecule of the title compound. Charge transfer from phenol ring to pseudo-aromatic chelate ring increases with increasing temperature, whereas p-electron transfer from chelate ring to anisole ring is decreased as temperature increases. The most strength intramolecular H-bonds are observed for conformers close to transition state.

Molecular geometry, NBO analysis, Hyperpolarizability and HOMO-LUMO energies of 2-azido-1-phenylethanone using Quantum chemical calculations

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2016

The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrum of 2-azido-1-phenylethanone (APE) has been recorded in the range 4000-400 cm-1 respectively. The optimized geometry of the molecule has been computed by evaluating the torsional potential energy as a function of angle of rotation about the interlinking bonds of APE using quantum chemical calculations. These calculations were carried out using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP functional with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The values of dipole moment, polarizability and hyperpolarizability were computed to determine the NLO behaviour of the molecule under study. The HOMO and LUMO energies were also evaluated for this molecule to demonstrate the chemical stability.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, SPECTRAL CHARACTERIZATION, MOLECULAR MODELING STUDIES AND STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF THE PROTON TRANSFER PROCESS FOR (E)-5-METHOXY-2-[(3,4-DIMETHYLPHENYLIMINO) METHYL]PHENOL

The main purpose of this study is to characterize a new organic material, (E)-5-methoxy-2-[(3,4-dimethylphenylimino)methyl]phenol, which was synthesized and grown as a single crystal. The molecular structure and spectroscopic properties of the ortho-hydroxy Schiff base compound were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques, experimentally and computationally with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. X-ray and UV-Vis studies show that the compound exists in an OH tautomeric form in the solid and solvent media. The gas phase geometry optimizations of two possible forms of the title compound, resulting from the prototropic tautomerism, were obtained using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G+(d,p) level of theory. A relaxed potential energy surface (PES) scan was performed based on the optimized geometry of the OH tautomeric form by varying the redundant internal coordinate , the O-H bond distance. According to the PES scan process, the molecular geometry is strongly affected by the intramolecular proton transfer. The calculated first hyperpolarizability indicates that the compound could be a good material for non-linear optical applications.
