Spectral and Computational Studies on Benzil Mono-(2-Pyridyl)Hydrazone

In the present study, structural properties of Mono-(2-Pyridyl) Hydrazone were studied extensively utilizing density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP exchange correlation. The Fourier transform infrared (solid phase) was recorded. The vibrational frequencies in the ground state were calculated by using density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-31G* and 6-311G** as basis sets. The spectral studies revealed that the title compound exists in Keto form. Spectral techniques that we employed include ¹H and ¹³C NMR, electronic, thermal techniques. Correlation between experimental chemical shifts and GIAO/B3LYP/6-311G**-calculated isotropic shielding constants, δ_exp = a + bσ_calc, are reported. Good linear regressions between experimental and theoretical results for ¹H and ¹³C were obtained.     

Role of electron correlation in the polydeprotonation of benzene to form trianions

Computations for anion, dianions, and trianions of benzene are carried out to study the role of electron correlation in the polydeprotonation of benzene leading to benzene trianions both in the singlet and triplet states. The computations, while assessing the use of polarization and diffuse functions, are performed with Møller–Plesset second‐order (MP2) perturbation theory and coupled‐cluster theory up to the level of CCSD(T)/6‐311++G(d,p)//MP2/6‐311++G(d,p), and with density functional theory (DFT) employing a hybrid, B3LYP, and a meta‐hybrid, M05‐2X, exchange‐correlation functionals with Gaussian basis set 6‐311++G(d,p) and correlation consistent basis set aug‐cc‐pVDZ. The deprotonation energies, including zero‐point energy correction, of benzene anion and dianions are found to be highly sensitive to the quantum mechanical method and the basis set used. The formation of dianions and trianions, where the anionic centers lie adjacent to each other, is observed with unusual behavior in the deprotonation energy and the geometrical parameters obtained from the different level of the theories. The two exchange‐correlation functionals compared show contrasting and unusual results for the trianionic species particularly for the triplet states, even if the diffuse functions are included in the basis set. Besides this, the ortho‐dianion and 1,3,5‐trianion are predicted to be ground‐state triplet at CCSD(T)/6‐311++G(d,p)//MP2/6‐311++G(d,p) and DFT/M05‐2X/6‐311++G(d,p) levels, whereas DFT/B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) predicts meta‐dianion and 1,2,3‐trianion to be ground‐state triplet where all the anionic centers lie adjacent to each other.

DFT studies on the vibrational and electronic spectra of acetylsalicylic acid

The following is a theoretical and experimental study on the vibrational and electronic properties of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Vibrational information was obtained by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy which agree well with harmonic vibrational frequency calculations. The calculations were carried out using density functional theory B3LYP methods with 6-311G** and LANL2DZ basis sets. The vibrational assignments were calculated by Gaussview. Absorption UV-Vis experiments of ASA reveal three maximum peaks at 203, 224 and 277 nm, which are in agreement with calculated electronic transitions using TD-B3LYP/6-311G**.

Towards the assignment of the REMPI spectrum of Ph2O using CIS and TD-DFT methods

Tentative assignment of the low-lying vibrational features of the first electronic excited singlet-state S₁ of diphenyl ether (Ph₂O), obtained from resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) spectroscopy, is performed using CIS and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The potential energy surfaces, regarding the rotation of the phenyl rings relatively to the C–O–C plane, are obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory, for the ground-state of neutral and cationic Ph₂O and for its first excited singlet state. The torsional barriers of the ground state of diphenyl ether were studied by means of quantum-chemical perturbations of increasing accuracy and an extrapolation to the complete basis set limit and full configuration interaction (FCI) was performed through the use of correlation consistent basis sets and the continued fraction method. The first adiabatic ionisation energy (AIE) of the twist conformer is computed at 8.60 eV in the FCI limit, much higher than the experimental results of Terlouw et al. (8.09±0.03 eV) and Paiva et al. (7.8±0.1 eV). The B3LYP result of 7.82 eV is, however, in reasonable agreement with the result of Paiva et al. The first singlet excitation energy for the twist conformation is found to be 5.5 eV at the CIS/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Some features of the experimental REMPI spectrum, previously obtained by one of the authors, are explained and a new insight on the ionisation energy of diphenyl ether is presented.
