A comparative spectroscopic,electronic structure and chemical shift investigations of o-Chloronitrobenzene,p-Chloronitrobenzene and m-Chloronitrobenzene

The structural characteristics and substituent effects of o-Chloronitrobenzene, m-Chloronitrobenzene and p-Chloronitrobenzene have been analysed by experimental FTIR, FT-Raman and FT-NMR spectroscopic studies. A detailed quantum chemical calculations have been performed using DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G^**, 6-31G^** and cc-pVTZ basis sets. Complete vibrational analyses of the compounds were performed. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties has been analysed. The atomic charges and charge delocalisation of the molecule have been performed by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP), total electron density distribution and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) are constructed at B3LYP/6-311++G^** level to understand the electronic properties. The charge density distribution and site of chemical reactivity of the molecules has been obtained by mapping electron density isosurface with electrostatic potential surfaces (ESPs). The electronic properties, HOMO and LUMO energies were measured by time-dependent TD-DFT approach. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded and ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of the molecule were calculated. The ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the molecules in chloroform solvent were calculated by using the Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method and are found to be in good agreement with experimental values.     

Quantum chemical and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral studies on molecular properties and electronic structure of berberine and berberrubine

The structural and electronic properties of berberine and berberrubine have been studied extensively using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation. The geometries of these molecules have been fully optimized at the B3LYP/6-311G** level. The chemical shift of 1H and 13C resonances in NMR spectra of these molecules have been calculated using the gauge invariant atomic model (GIAO) method as implemented in Gaussian 98. One- and two-dimensional HSQC (1H-13C), HMBC (1H-13C) and ROESY (1H-1H) spectra were recorded at 500 MHz for the berberine molecule in D(2)O solution. All proton and carbon resonances were unambiguously assigned, and inter-proton distances obtained from ten observed NOE contacts. A restrained molecular dynamics (RMD) approach was used to get the optimized solution structure of berberine. The structure of berberine and berberrubine molecules was also obtained using the ROESY data available in literature. Comparison of the calculated NMR chemical shifts with the experimental values revealed that DFT methods produce very good results for both proton and carbon chemical shifts. The importance of the basis sets to the calculated NMR parameters is discussed. It has been found that calculated structure and chemical shifts in the gas phase predicted with B3LYP/6-311G** are in very good agreement with the present experimental data and the measured values reported earlier.     

Effect of methyl groups substitution on the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of naphthazarin: DFT and NBO studies

A density functional theory (DFT) study-based method B3LYP/6-311++G** was carried out to investigate the methyl groups substitution effect on the structure and the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in naphthazarin (NZ) (5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). The full geometry optimization of molecular structures, the difference between the energies of hydrogen-bonded and non-hydrogen-bonded rotamers, and the proton chemical shift of the hydroxyl groups in NZ and its methyl substituents obtained at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level. The vibrational frequencies of all samples and their deuterated analogues were calculated at the same theoretical level. The ¹H chemical shifts for NZ and its methyl substituents were computed at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level using the gauge-including atomic orbital method. Furthermore, in order to investigate the changes in bond order, electron density, electron delocalization, and steric effects caused by methyl substituents, natural bond orbital analysis were carried out at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level. After comparing these effective parameters in methyl substituents with those of their parent, NZ, we concluded that, in general, intramolecular hydrogen bonding strength increases by substituting methyl groups in the different positions of NZ.

The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts, UV-vis spectra, HOMO-LUMO analyses, molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs), , thermodynamic properties and atomic charges of 3- and 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde oxime (C7H6N2O3) molecules have been investigated by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) methods with the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set. The calculated optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles), the vibrational frequencies calculated and 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts values for the mentioned compounds are in a very good agreement with the experimental data. Furthermore, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) have been simulated and the transition states, energy band gaps and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps for each oxime compound have been determined. Additionally, we also report the infrared intensities and Raman activities for the compounds under study.

Interaction of anions with perfluoro aromatic compounds

The complexes formed by a variety of anions with perfluoro derivatives of benzene, naphthalene, pyridine, thiophene, and furan have been calculated using DFT (B3LYP/6-31++G**) and MP2 (MP2/6-31++G** and MP2/6-311++G**) ab initio methods. The minimum structures show the anion interacting with the pi-cloud of the aromatic compounds. The interaction energies obtained range between -8 and -19 kcal mol(-1). The results obtained at the MP2/6-31++G** and MP2/6-311++G** levels are similar. However, the B3LYP/6-31++G** results provide longer interaction distances and smaller interaction energies than do the MP2 results. The interaction energies have been partitioned using an electrostatic, polarization, and van der Waals scheme. The AIM analysis of the electron density shows a variety of topologies depending on the aromatic system considered.

A GIAO/DFT study of 1H, 13C and 15N shieldings in amines and its relevance in conformational analysis

The 1H, 13C and 15N absolute shieldings of 13 amines were calculated at the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G** level. For some compounds (ethylamine, piperidine and 1-methylpiperidine) two conformations were calculated. The 13C and 15N data could be correctly correlated with experimental chemical shifts, allowing the conformation of 1-methylpiperidine to be established. The 1H NMR absolute shieldings, although less well correlated with delta values, were used to account for the anisotropy effects of the N lone pair.

The structures of the complexes generated by hexamethylenetetramine and nitric acid have been fully optimized by B3LYP method at the 6-311++G** and aug-cc-pVTZ levels. The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions have been calculated by the B3LYP/6-311++G**, B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ, MP2(full)/6-311++G** and CCSD(T)/6-311++G** methods, respectively.

The C-N bonds which are adjacent to the methylene involving the hydrogen bonds tend to break in the chemical reaction. Due to the exothermic process, low temperature is conducive to the formation of the composition, which tallies with the experimental result.

Also, these chemical shifts of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a–g have been performed related to dihedral angles (C4–C3–C2–O) of two conformers. The optimized molecular geometries and ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift values of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a–g in the ground state have been obtained. The linear correlation coefficients of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts for these molecules were given. The new nuclear magnetic shielding tensors of tetramethylsilane (TMS) were calculated. The data of 2-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives display significant molecular structure and NMR analysis.
