Vibrational spectra, tautomerism and thermodynamics of anticarcinogenic drug: 5-fluorouracil

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 5-Fluorouracil were recorded in the solid phase in the regions 400-4000 cm(-1) and 50-4000 cm(-1), respectively. The vibrational spectra were analysed and the observed fundamentals were assigned to different normal modes of vibration. The experimental wavenumbers were compared with the scaled vibrational values using DFT methods: the Ar matrix data were related to gas phase calculations, while the values of the solid state spectra were compared to those with dimer simulations. The study indicates that some features that are characteristic of vibrational spectra of uracil and its derivatives are retained in the spectrum of 5-fluorouracil and it exists in ketonic form in the solid phase. The tautomerism was also studied and the spectra of the two most stable forms were simulated. The calculated wavenumbers have been employed to yield thermodynamic properties.     

Theoretical and experimental study of triphenylphosphonium Schiff base of 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-formylpyrazole

The Schiff base (HLBr), containing a chelating unit and triphenylphosphonium moiety has been synthesized in the reaction of 4-aminobenzyl(triphenyl)phosphonium bromide with 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-formylpyrazole. The composition and structure of HLBr have been determined by elemental analysis, IR, 1D and 2D NMR, electronic spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations (6-311G(d,p) level of theory) have been carried out to investigate tautomeric forms of HL⁺ and the reaction mechanism of its formation and spectral properties. The most stable form in the solid state and in DMSO solution is pyrazolone (keto-amine) tautomeric form.     

Vibrational assignment, structure and intramolecular hydrogen bond study of 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one

Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one and its deuterated analogue were recorded in the regions 400-4,000 and 150-4,000 cm(-1), respectively. Furthermore, the molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of title compound were investigated by a series of density functional theoretical, DFT, and ab initio calculations at the post-Hartree-Fock (MP2) level. Although, the calculated frequencies are generally in agreement with the observed spectra but the DFT results are in much better quantitative agreement with the observed spectra than the MP2 results. The observed wavenumbers were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of vibration of the molecule. The calculated geometrical parameters show a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond with a N...O distance of 2.621-2.668 A. This bond length is shorter than that of its parent, 4-amino-3-penten-2-one (with two methyl groups in the beta-position), which is in agreement with spectroscopic results. The topological properties of the electron density contributions for intramolecular hydrogen bond in 3-amino-1-phenyl-2-buten-1-one and 4-amino-3-penten-2-one have been analyzed in term of the Bader theory of atoms in molecules (AIM). These results also support the stronger hydrogen bond in the title compound with respect to the parent molecule.

The FTIR and FT Raman vibrational spectra of 1,5-methylnaphthalene (1,5-MN) have been recorded using Brunker IFS 66 V Spectrometer in the range 3600-10 cm(-1) in the solid phase. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis has been carried out and assignments of the observed fundamental bands have been proposed on the basis of peak positions and relative intensities.

With the help of different scaling factors, the observed vibrational wavenumbers in FTIR and FT Raman spectra were analyzed and assigned to different normal modes of the molecule. Most of the modes have wavenumbers in the expected range. The results of the calculations were applied to simulated infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which showed excellent agreement with the observed spectra.     

Structure and tautomerism of 4-bromo substituted 1H-pyrazoles

The tautomerism in the solid state and in solution of five 4-bromo-1H-pyrazoles has been studied by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and, for one of them, by X-ray crystallography (3,4-dibromo-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazole). When there is a bromine atom at position 3(5), in all cases, the tautomer present in the solid state is the 3-bromo one. In solution, the same tautomer is the major one. DFT calculations justify the predominance of 3-bromo tautomers over 5-bromo ones and provide some useful chemical shifts obtained through GIAO calculations.     

Ab initio and DFT studies of the vibrational spectra of benzofuran and some of its derivatives

The vibrational spectra of benzofuran and some of its derivatives have been systematically investigated by ab initio and density functional B3LYP methods.

IR and Raman characterization of the zincocenes (eta(5)-C5Me5)2Zn2 and (eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(1)-C5Me5)Zn

The measured Raman and IR spectra of solid, polycrystalline bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)dizinc, (eta(5)-C5Me5)2Zn2, 1, and bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)monozinc, (eta(5)-C5Me5)(eta(1)-C5Me5)Zn, 8, are reported in some detail. The IR spectra of the vapors of 1 and 8 each trapped in a solid Ar matrix at 12 K confirm the essentially molecular character of the solids. The experimental results have been interpreted with particular reference (i) to the corresponding spectra of (68)Zn-enriched samples of the compounds, and (ii) to the spectra simulated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP level. The marked differences of structure of 1 and 8 contrast with the relatively close similarity of their vibrational spectra, disparities being revealed only on detailed scrutiny, including the effects of (68)Zn enrichment, and primarily at wavenumbers below 1000 cm(-1). The Zn-Zn stretching motion of 1 features not as a single, well-defined mode identifiable with intense Raman scattering but in several normal modes which respond in varying degrees to (68)Zn substitution. A stretching force constant of 1.42 mdyne A(-1) has been estimated for the Zn-Zn bond of 1.     

An experimental and theoretical study of vibrational spectra of picolinamide, nicotinamide, and isonicotinamide

The molecular structures and vibrational spectra of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide (picolinamide, nicotinamide, isonicotinamide) were calculated with the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the B3LYP function and the 6-31++G(d,p), Z2PolX, Z3PolX basis sets. The calculations were performed by using the Gaussian98W packet program set. The total energy distributions (TED) of the vibrational modes of these molecules were calculated by using the Scale 2.0 program and the vibrational modes of the molecules were determined. The Scaled Quantum Mechanical (SQM) method was used in the scaling procedure. In the experimental part of the study, the solid phase FT-IR and Micro Raman spectra of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide have been recorded in the range of 4000-650 and 1200-100 cm⁻¹, respectively. The calculated wavenumbers were compared to the corresponding experimental values. As a result, the observed bands of the three isomers of pyridinecarboxamide were assigned with good accuracy.     

Theoretical studies of molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole

The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C8H7N3S) in the ground state has been calculated using the Hartree-Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) basis set. The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles obtained by using HF and DFT (B3LYP) show the best agreement with the experimental data. Comparison of the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C8H7N3S) and calculated results by density functional B3LYP and Hartree-Fock methods indicate that B3LYP is superior to the scaled Hartree-Fock approach for molecular vibrational problems.     

FT-IR, UV-vis, 1H and 13C NMR spectra and the equilibrium structure of organic dye molecule disperse red 1 acrylate: a combined experimental and theoretical analysis

This study reports the characterization of disperse red 1 acrylate compound by spectral techniques and quantum chemical calculations. The spectroscopic properties were analyzed by FT-IR, UV-vis, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR techniques. FT-IR spectrum in solid state was recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1). The UV-vis absorption spectrum of the compound that dissolved in methanol was recorded in the range of 200-800 nm. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl(3) solution. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational wavenumbers were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR spectrum. A satisfactory consistency between the experimental and theoretical spectra was obtained and it shows that the hybrid DFT method is very useful in predicting accurate vibrational structure, especially for high-frequency region. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental results and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shifts were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. A study on the electronic properties were performed by timedependent DFT (TD-DFT) and CIS(D) approach. To investigate non linear optical properties, the electric dipole moment μ, polarizability α, anisotropy of polarizability Δα and molecular first hyperpolarizability β were computed. The linear polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities of the studied molecule indicate that the compound can be a good candidate of nonlinear optical materials.     

An efficient and simple approach for the synthesis of pyranopyrazoles using imidazole (catalytic) in aqueous medium, and the vibrational spectroscopic studies on 6-amino-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-5-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole using density functional theory

We describe a one-pot four component synthesis of pyranopyroles from aryl aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and hydrazine hydrate in the presence of catalytic amounts of an organocatalyst imidazole in water as medium. A plausible mechanism for the formation of imidazole catalyzed pyranopyrazoles has been envisaged. This method is rapid, simple, provides products in good yield, and is eco-friendly. In addition, based on the optimized geometry, the frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 6-amino-4-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-5-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole were obtained by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations using 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational frequencies were calculated and the scaled values have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement.

The optimized geometric parameters are compared with experimental values of naphthoic acid. The results of the calculation shows excellent agreement between experimental and calculated frequencies in B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The effects due to the substitutions of methyl group and carbon-oxygen bond are also investigated. A study on the electronic properties, such as excitation energies and wavelengths, were performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. HOMO and LUMO energies are calculated that these energies show charge transfer occurs within the molecule.

The vibrational (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectra of Ca, Mn, and Zn complexes with ortho-, meta-, and para-iodobenzoic acids have been studied. The solid state samples of all complexes have been measured within the range 4000–400 cm⁻¹, while water solutions of ortho-iodobenzoates within the range 4000–800 cm⁻¹. Based on previous experimental data and normal mode calculations for simpler complexes the assignment of bands observed in vibrational spectra of studied compounds has been done. Some significant differences in vibrational structure (frequency and intensity of selected bands) have been observed and discussed. The effect of metal on ring vibrations and carboxylic anion stretching and deformation has been investigated. Also, influence of iodine substitution on the aromatic ring and carboxylic anion, depending on iodine ring position, has been discussed. In case of soluble compounds, wavenumbers of characteristic bands of water solution samples have been compared with wavenumbers of corresponding bands of solid state samples.     

Structural and spectroscopic characterization of 2,3-difluorobenzoic acid and 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid with experimental techniques and quantum chemical calculations

In this study, the molecular conformation, vibrational and electronic transition analysis of 2,3-difluorobenzoic acid and 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (C7H4F2O2) were presented using experimental techniques (FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV) and quantum chemical calculations. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra in solid state were recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 4000-5 cm(-1), respectively. The UV absorption spectra of the compounds that dissolved in ethanol were recorded in the range of 200-800 nm. The structural properties of the molecules in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and second order M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Optimized structure of compounds was interpreted and compared with the earlier reported experimental values. The scaled vibrational wavenumbers were compared with experimental results. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental data and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. A study on the electronic properties, such as absorption wavelength, excitation energy, dipole moment and frontier molecular orbital energy, were performed by time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. Based on the UV spectra and TD-DFT calculations, the electronic structure and the assignments of the absorption bands of steady compounds were discussed. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecules.     

Density functional theory study of the fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of dichloro-bis(2,4-pentanedionate)tin(IV).

Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of dichloro-bis(2,4-pentanedionate)tin(IV) have been obtained. Density functional theory (DFT) BLYP calculations, have been carried out with the purpose of understanding the metal-ligand region spectra of this compound. Vibrational wavenumbers calculated by BLYP/6-31G* force fields are closed with the experimental results. The percentage of deviation of the bond lengths and bond angles gives a good picture of the normal modes, and serves as a basis for the assignment of the wavenumbers. The calculated geometrical parameters show slight differences compared with the experimental ones, and these differences can be explained by the different physical state of Sn(acac)2Cl2. The DFT-BLYP calculations assumed a free molecule in the gas phase. The experimental wavenumbers are obtained from the spectra of solid samples.     

Conformation-specific spectroscopy of 4-phenyl-1-butyne and 5-phenyl-1-pentyne

4-Phenyl-1-butyne and 5-phenyl-1-pentyne were studied by a combination of methods including resonance-enhanced-two-photon ionization, UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy, and rotational band contour studies. There are two conformations of 4-phenyl-1-butyne observed in the expansion with their S1<-- S0 origins occurring at 37617 and 37620 cm(-1). MP2 and DFT calculations identify these two low energy conformations (with the acetylenic group anti or gauche with respect to the ring) and confirm that these are the only two low energy conformations anticipated to have population in them. The experimental rotational band contours of the origin bands were compared to simulations based on transition moment directions and rotational constants predicted by CIS calculations. This comparison leads to definitive assignments for the bands, with the gauche and anti conformations assigned to the red and blue-shifted conformers, respectively. Three conformations of 5-phenyl-1-pentyne were observed in the expansion with their S1<-- S0 origins occurring at 37538, 37578, and 37601 cm(-1). MP2 and DFT calculations predict four low energy structures arising from gauche or anti conformations about each of the Calpha-Cbeta and Cbeta-Cgamma bonds. Rotational band contour analysis was used to assign the above transitions to gauche-anti (ga), gauche-gauche (gg), and anti-gauche (ag) structures, respectively.
