The Schiff base compound (Z)-1-((4-phenylamino)phenylamino)methylene)naphthalen-2(1H)-one has been synthesized and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, and X-ray single-crystal determination. Molecular geometry from X-ray experiment of the title compound in the ground state have been compared using the Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6−31G(d,p) basis set. Calculated results show that density functional theory DFT and HF can well reproduce the structure of the title compound. Using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and Hartree–Fock (TD-HF) methods, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and a good agreement with the TD-DFT method and experimental ones is determined. The energetic behavior of the title compound in solvent media has been examined using B3LYP method with the 6−31G(d,p) basis set by applying the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The total energy of the title compound decreases with increasing polarity of the solvent. In addition, DFT calculations of the title compound, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), natural bond orbital analysis (NBO), and non-linear optical (NLO) properties were performed at B3LYP/6−31G(d,p) level of theory.

The solid phase FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 1-[6-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-2-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methylsulfanyl]-4-methyl-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl]ethanone (C25H21Cl3N4OS) were recorded in the region 4000-400 and 3500-100cm(-1), respectively. The vibrational spectra have been computed using density functional theory (B3LYP) and ab initio molecular orbital calculation (HF) with 6-31G(d, p) basis sets. A close agreement was achieved between the observed and calculated frequency by employing normal coordinate calculations. The observed and simulated spectra were found to be well comparable.     

Synthesis,characterization, and quantum chemical calculational studies on 3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-methylphenyl-4-amino- 1, 2, 4-triazole-5-thione

The title compound of 3-p-methylphenyl-4-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole-5-thione was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Quantum chemical calculations of the structure, natural bond orbital, and thermodynamic functions of the title compound were performed by using B3LYP/6-311G** and HF-6-311G** methods. Both the methods can well simulate the molecular structure. Vibrational frequencies were predicted, assigned and compared with the experimental values, and B3LYP/6-311G** method is superior to HF/6-311G** method to predict the vibrational frequencies. Electronic absorption spectra calculated by B3LYP/6-311G** method have some red shifts compared with the experimental ones and natural bond orbitals analyses indicate that the two absorption bands are mainly derived from the contribution of n → π^* and π → π^* transitions. On the basis of vibrational analyses, the thermodynamic properties of the title compound at different temperatures have been calculated, revealing the correlations between C ⁰ _p,m , S ⁰ _m , H ⁰ _m , and temperatures.

Action of HCl on 3-hydroxypyrazolo(iso)quinolines to give 1-chloropyrazoles: evidence for an addition–elimination mechanism by ab initio calculations in gas phase and water

 Addition–elimination reactions involving a nucleophile and a remote leaving group [S^H _N(AE)^tele] are well-known under basic conditions, especially amongst electron-poor six-membered heterocycles, but are less commonly encountered for five-membered heterocycles and are rare under acidic conditions. Concentrated HCl converts 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c] isoquinoline and 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline into 3-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline and 3-chloro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]quinoline, respectively. However, apparently neither the isomeric 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c](iso)-quinolines nor the parent 1-hydroxypyrazole undergo this reaction. Additionally, all these systems are refractory under basic conditions. We present a plausible mechanism for the reaction, involving the 3-addition of Cl^- to the diprotonated heterocycle, followed by the elimination of water. Calculations of the initial transition states and intermediates, using optimisation at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p), including thermochemistry [HF/6-31+G(d)], and single-point Poisson–Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field determination of the free energy of solvation (Jaguar Poisson–Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field), support this mechanism and reproduce the observed order of reactivity, the addition step being 2–4 kcal less favourable for the isomeric 1-hydroxy-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c](iso)quinolines and provide a rationalisation for the role of strong acid.

Ab initio and density functional theory studies on the mechanism of nucleophilic vinylic substitution of 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran-4-one and 2-methyl-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-pyran-4-one with ammonia

 Nucleophilic vinylic substitutions of 4H-pyran-4-one and 2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one with ammonia were calculated by the B3LYP method using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Bulk solvent effects of aqueous solution were estimated by the polarized continuum and Poisson–Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field models using the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set. In the gas phase different mechanisms were found for the two reaction systems calculated. The reaction of 4H-pyran-4-one proceeds through enol, whereas a feasible path for the less reactive 2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one is the mechanism through a keto intermediate. Addition of ammonia in concert with proton transfer is the rate-determining step ofthe reaction. The mechanism proceeding either by a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S_N2) or by one involving a tetrahedral zwitterionic intermediate is shown to be unlikely in the gas phase or nonpolar solution. The effects of bulk solvent not only consist in a reduction of the various activation barriers by about 25–40 kJ mol⁻¹ but also in a change in the reaction mechanism.

The Schiff base compound (E)-2-(1-(2-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)ethyliminio)ethyl) phenolate has been synthesised and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, and X-ray single-crystal determination. Ab initio calculations have been carried out for the title compound using the density functional theory (DFT) and Hartree–Fock (HF) methods at 6-31G(d) basis set.

Vibrational investigation on FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra, IR intensity, Raman activity, peak resemblance, ideal estimation, standard deviation of computed frequencies analyses and electronic structure on 3-methyl-1,2-butadiene using HF and DFT (LSDA/B3LYP/B3PW91) calculations

FT-IR and FT-Raman (4000–100 cm⁻¹) spectral measurements of 3-methyl-1,2-butadiene (3M12B) have been attempted in the present work. Ab-initio HF and DFT (LSDA/B3LYP/B3PW91) calculations have been performed giving energies, optimized structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies, IR intensities and Raman activities. Complete vibrational assignments on the observed spectra are made with vibrational frequencies obtained by HF and DFT (LSDA/B3LYP/B3PW91) at 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. The results of the calculations have been used to simulate IR and Raman spectra for the molecule that showed good agreement with the observed spectra. The potential energy distribution (PED) corresponding to each of the observed frequencies are calculated which confirms the reliability and precision of the assignment and analysis of the vibrational fundamentals modes. The oscillation of vibrational frequencies of butadiene due to the couple of methyl group is also discussed. A study on the electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies, were performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound at different temperatures reveal the correlations between standard heat capacities (C) standard entropies (S), and standard enthalpy changes (H).
