The infrared spectrum of [Zn(I3PA)₂(H₂O)]_n in the solid state is supported by X-ray analysis. The theoretical wavenumbers and infrared intensities have been calculated by the density functional methods (B3LYP and mPW1PW) with the 6-311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ basis sets. The theoretical wavenumbers, infrared intensities show a good agreement with experimental data. Detailed band assignment has been made on the basis of the calculated potential energy distribution (PED).     

Catechin mediated green synthesis of Au nanoparticles: Experimental and theoretical approaches to the determination HOMO-LUMO energy gap and reactivity indexes for the (+)-epicatechin (2S, 3S)

This work suggests a green method for synthesizing Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the aqueous extract of Salix aegyptiaca extract. The mechanism of green synthesized AuNPs was examined by molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) calculations. AuNPs were characterized with different techniques such as Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrochemical investigation of modified glassy carbon electrode using AuNPs (AuNPs/GCE) shows that the electronic transmission rate between the modified electrode and [Fe (CN)₆]^3?/4? increased. Process of oxidation, energy gap, and chemical reactivity indexes of the (+)-epicatechin (2S,3S) were investigated using electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) as well as UV–Visible spectroscopy and compared with quantum mechanical calculations. DPV and CV were used to obtain HOMO energies of the (+)-epicatechin (2S,3S), an optical energy gap was obtained from the UV–Vis spectroscopy. Frontier molecular orbitals analysis (FMO) and reactivity indexes such as chemical hardness (?), electrophilicity (?), electronic chemical potential (μ), electron acceptor power (?⁺), electron donor power (?^?) were determined with functional theory (DFT) calculations. In summary, the HOMO energy obtained from the experimental analyses (E_HOMO (from DPV) = -5.24 eV, and E_HOMO (from CV) = -5.28 eV) has a relative agreement with the HOMO energy calculated by B3LYP/6–31 g (d, p) including the solvent effect (water) (E_HOMO (from B3LYP) = -5.75 eV). Also, UV–Vis spectroscopy gives the bandgap energy equal to 4.31 eV, while the 4.13 eV is calculated by TD-DFT-b3lyp/6–31 + g(d).     

A possible potential COVID-19 drug candidate: Diethyl 2-(2-(2-(3-methyl-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetyl)hydrazono)malonate: Docking of disordered independent molecules of a novel crystal structure,HSA/DFT/XRD and cytotoxicity

This study reports the synthesis, characterization and importance of a novel diethyl 2-(2-(2-(3-methyl-2-oxoquinoxalin-1(2H)-yl)acetyl)hydrazono)malonate (MQOAHM). Two independent molecular structures of the disordered MQOAHM have been established by XRD?single?crystal analysis in a ratio of 0.596(3)/0.404(3), MQOAHM (a) and MQOAHM (b), respectively. MQOAHM was characterized by means of various spectroscopic tools ESI-MS, IR, ¹H &¹³C NMR analyses. Density Functional Theory (DFT) method, B3LYP, 6–311++G(d,p) basis set was used to optimize MQOAHM molecule. The obtained theoretical structure and experimental structure were superimposed on each other, and the correlation between them was calculated. The Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) were created, and the energy gap between these orbitals was calculated. For analyzing intermolecular interactions, Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis were studied. For a fair comparative study, the two forms of the title compound were docked together with 18 approved drugs and N3 under precisely the same conditions. The disordered molecule structure's binding scores against 7BQY were ?7.0 and ?6.9 kcal/mol^?1 for MQOAHM (a) and MQOAHM (b), respectively. Both the forms show almost identical superimposed structures and scores indicating that the disorder of the molecule, in this study, has no obvious effect. The high binding score of the molecule was attributed to the multi-hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions between the ligand and the receptor's active amino acid residues. Worth pointing out here that the aim of using the free energy in Silico molecular docking approach is to rank the title molecule compared to the wide range of approved drugs and a well-established ligand N3. The binding scores of all the molecules used in this study are ranged from ?9.9 to ?4.5 kcal/mol^?1. These results and the supporting statistical analyses suggest that this malonate-based ligand merits further research in the context of possible therapeutic agents for COVID-19. Cheap computational techniques, PASS, Way2drug and ADMET, online software tools, were used in this study to uncover the title compound's potential biological activities and cytotoxicity.

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel compound, 3-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (abbreviated as 3-(4MP)-2-(4-NP)-AN, C₁₆H₁₂N₂O₃). The spectroscopic properties of the compound were examined by FT-IR, UV–vis and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) techniques. FT-IR spectrum in solid state was observed in the region 4000–400 cm⁻¹. The UV–vis absorption spectrum of the compound which dissolved in chloroform was recorded in the range of 200–800 nm. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl₃ solution. To determine lowest-energy molecular conformation of the title molecule, the selected torsion angle is varied every 10° and molecular energy profile is calculated from 0° to 360°. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set. The dipole moment, linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were also computed using the same basis set. A study on the electronic properties, such as HOMO and LUMO energies, were performed by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approach. The HOMO and LUMO analysis were used to elucidate information regarding charge transfer within the molecule. The vibrational wavenumbers were calculated and scaled values were compared with experimental FT-IR spectrum. 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. Comparison of the calculated frequencies, NMR chemical shifts, absorption wavelengths with the experimental values revealed that DFT and TD-DFT method produce good results. The linear polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities of the studied molecule indicate that the title compound can be used as a good nonlinear optical material. The thermodynamic properties of the studied compound at different temperatures were calculated, revealing the correlations between standard heat capacity, standard entropy, standard enthalpy changes and temperatures.

Each zinc centre is five-coordinated by the bidentate chelating indole-3-carboxylato, one oxygen atom bridging indole-3-carboxylato, water molecule and one oxygen atom bridging indole-3-carboxylato from an adjacent [Zn(I3CA)₂(H₂O)] unit. The Zn–O distances of 1.978(4), 1.987(3), 1.977(4), 1.983(3) and 2.519(4) Å, are typical for distances of such complexes. The infrared and Raman spectroscopic data of [Zn(I3CA)₂(H₂O)]_n in the solid state are supported by X-ray analysis. The theoretical wavenumbers, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities have been calculated by the density functional methods (B3LYP and mPW1PW) with the D95V^**/LanL2DZ and 6-311++G(d,p)/LanL2DZ basis sets. The theoretical wavenumbers, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities show a good agreement with experimental. Detailed band assignment has been made on the basis of the calculated potential energy distribution (PED). The results provide information on the strength of zinc-ligand bonding in complex.     

Experimental,DFT and Theoretical Corrosion Study for 4-(((4-ethyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-yl)thio)methyl)-7,8-dimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one

In this work, 4-(((4-ethyl-5-(thiophen-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-yl)thio)methyl)-7,8-dimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one was synthesized by acetone-mediated condensation of 4-ethyle-5-(thiophen-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 4-(chloromethyl)-7,8-dimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one. The molecule results (3) were experimentally characterized using FT-IR, ¹H-, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Density Functional Theory (B3LYP/cc-pVDZ) was used to investigate the ideal molecule structure, vibrational frequencies, and ¹H with ¹³C NMR (theoretically) chemical shifts. Theoretical and experimental spectroscopy results were compared and agreed with each other, which indicated the validity of the used developed molecular structure. The Dipole moment, hardness, softnes, electronegativity, electrophilicity index, nucleophilicity index, and chemical potential as electronic structural parameters linked to corrosion inhibition efficacy were investigated for the prepared compound. Furthermore, the fraction of transferred electrons was calculated to determine the interaction between the iron surface and organic molecules. The results indicated a favorable relationship between organic-based corrosion inhibitors and quantum chemical parameters processes. The corrosion inhibitors' behavior can be predicted without the need for experimental investigation.     

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial activity of some new triphenyltin(IV) sulfanylcarboxylates: Crystal structure of [(SnPh3)2(p-mpspa)], [(SnPh3)2(cpa)] and [(SnPh3)2(tspa)(DMSO)]

Five new triphenyltin(IV) sulfanylcarboxylates of the general formula [(SnPh₃)₂L] (L = pspa, tspa, fspa, p-mpspa or cpa, where p = 3-(2-phenyl)-, t = 3-(2-thienyl)-, f = 3-(2-furyl)-, p-mp = 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-, spa = 2-sulfanylpropenoato and cpa = 2-cyclopentilyden-2-sulfanylacetate) have been synthesized by reacting triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide with the corresponding acid in ethanol/acetone. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and mass spectrometry and by vibrational and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopies. In the case of [(SnPh₃)₂(p-mpspa)] and [(SnPh₃)₂(cpa)], X-ray structural studies showed that in both compounds each Sn atom is coordinated to three phenyl C atoms and to one S or O atom of the bridge ligand L. All five complexes are active against strains of Staphylococcus aureus, but are inactive against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. From a solution of [(SnPh₃)₂(tspa)] in DMSO-d₆ the new complex [(SnPh₃)₂(tspa)(DMSO)] was isolated. The single-crystal X-ray diffractometric study of this complex is also reported, showing that both Sn atoms are bridged by the tspa ligand, whereas the molecule of DMSO is coordinated to one of the tin atoms via the oxygen atom.     

Crystal structure,Hirshfeld surface analysis,Thermal study and Conduction mechanism of [(C4H9)4P]3Bi2Cl9 compound

A novel tris (tetrabutylphosphonium) nonachlorodibismuthate (III) compound has been synthesized and characterized by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, calorimetric, IR spectroscopy and electrical measurements. X‐ray diffraction analysis at room temperature reveals that the title compound belongs to the monoclinic system with P2₁/c space group. The unit cell dimensions are: a = 19.201(6) Å, b = 16.743 (5) Å, c = 22.396 (8) Å, β = 98.96 (2)° and Z = 4. The crystal structure was solved down to R equal to 0.035 for 5597 independent reflections. The crystal package is provided by electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds (C‐H ^…. Cl). Intermolecular interactions present in the grown single crystal were analyzed by Hirshfeld surface and 2‐dimensional fingerprint plot. The differential scanning calorimetry reveals one order–disorder phase transition at 400 ± 5 K.The electrical conductivity were carried out in the frequency range 200 Hz–1 MHz at various temperatures 343–413 K using impedance spectroscopy technique. The obtained results were analyzed by fitting the experimental data to an equivalent circuit model. The temperature dependence of alternating and direct current conductivities confirms the observed phase transition in the calorimetric study; they were described in terms of Arrhenius relation. AC conductivity measurements reveal that the conduction depends on both frequency and temperature, this agrees well with Correlated Barrier Hopping model in phase I and II.     

2,5-Dichloro-1-(ROSO2)benzene [R = C6H5, C6F5, and CH2(CF2)4H]: Synthesis, molecular structure, and solubility in supercritical CO2

Highly crystalline phenyl 2,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate (PDBS, T_melt = 86-87 °C) and pentafluorophenyl 2,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate (FPDBS, T_melt = 120-122 °C) were synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray molecular structure determinations show that both compounds have similar three-dimensional molecular structures; however, PDBS crystals are thin platelets and FPDBS crystals form hexagonal tube-like structures that are predominately hollow at one end. PDBS crystals exhibit offset π-stacking of the phenoxy-rings that form complete two-dimensional layers each two molecules thick. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are calculated at ∼3.2 Å between the C6-hydrogen and the sulfonyl-oxygen of a neighboring molecule. On the other hand, for FPDBS, π-stacking of the dichloro-substituted ring as well as dipole-dipole interactions of the fluorinated-phenoxy rings appears to be the predominate intermolecular interactions. Neither structure exhibits any kind of side-on interaction of the phenyl rings. PDBS and FPDBS exhibit melting point depressions of 26 and 40 °C, respectively, in the presence of supercritical CO₂. Although both sulfonates exhibit high solubility in CO₂, much lower pressures are needed to dissolve FPDBS compared to PDBS. For example, at 100 °C FPDBS dissolves at 4750 psia and PDBS dissolves at 11,000 psia. The solubility data reinforce the observation that fluorinating a compound can significantly lower the conditions needed to dissolve that compound in CO₂.     

Structural and aromatic aspects for tautomerism of (Z)-6-((4-bromophenylamino)methylene)-2,3-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dienone

The molecular and crystal structure of (Z)-6-((4-bromophenylamino)methylene)-2,3-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dienone were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Molecules of the compound can be regarded as a resonance hybrid of cis-keto tautomer and zwitterionic form. Pairs of molecules of the compound generate pseudocyclic centrosymmetric R₂² (10) R_{2}^{2} (10) supramolecular synthons with the aid of O–H···O type intermolecular H-bonds. Stacking of R₂² (10) R_{2}^{2} (10) synthons along b-axis is stabilized by π···π interactions. Changes in both covalent topology and molecular geometry of the compound accompanying proton transfer were monitored by a relaxed PES scan with respect to hydroxyl bond length used as redundant internal coordinate. Quantum chemical studies at 6-311 + G(d,p) level reveal that bond lengths which are indicative to tautomerization process cannot reach their expected values even if proton transfer occurs in gas phase and pseudo-aromatic chelate ring formation has primary effect on the stabilization of NH tautomer. Resonance-assisted intramolecular H-bond affects the electronic state of its neighboring aromatic fragments.     

Ethynylation of 2-(furan-2-yl)- and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrroles with acylbromoacetylenes in the Al2O3 medium: relative reactivity of heterocycles

2-(Furan-2-yl)- and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)pyrroles are readily ethynylated with acylbromoacetylenes in the solid Al₂O₃ medium (no solvent, room temperature, 1 h) to afford 5-(furan-2-yl)- and 5-(thiophen-2-yl)-2-acylethynylpyrroles in 39–74% yields. In the case of 2-(furan-2-yl)pyrroles, an alternative ethynylation of the furan ring takes place, the ratio of the furan and pyrrole ring ethynylation products being 1:5–7. No ethynylation of the thiophene ring as well as ethynylation of both heterocycles in a one molecule has been detected. Thus the reactivity of the heterocycles towards the ethynylation system (acylbromoacetylenes/Al₂O₃) falls in the order: pyrrole>furan>thiophene.

The structure determination of the grown crystal was done by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. DMPP crystallizes with orthorhombic system with cell parameters a = 20.3106(8) Å, b = 4.9574(2) Å, c = 13.4863(5) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90° and space group Pca2₁. The crystals were characterized by FT-IR, thermal analysis, UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy and SHG measurements. Various functional groups present in DMPP were ascertained by FTIR analysis. DMPP is thermally stable up to 80 °C and optically transparent in the visible region. The crystal exhibits SHG efficiency comparable to that of KDP.

The structure of 1 consists of the [H₂W₇O₂₄]⁴⁻ building blocks and [Co(en)₃]²⁺ metal-organic cationic moieties, which are packed together via the electrostatic forces and extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework. Interestingly, compound 1 represents the first structurally-defined hybrid compound based on the metastable paratungstate-A polyoxoanions and metal–organic units. The degradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) under UV irradiation with 1 as the heterogeneous photocatalyst has been investigated, showing a good photocatalytic property of 1 for RhB degradation.     

Co(II)-promoted transformation of diethyl(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate to quinoline-2-carboxylate (2-qca): Synthetic,structural and magnetic studies of [Co(2-qca)2(EtOH)2]

The interaction of the diethyl(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate (2-qmpe) ligand with CoCl₂ · 2H₂O unexpectedly leads to the formation of a compound with the formula [Co(2-qca)₂(EtOH)₂] (2-qca = quinoline-2-carboxylate). This compound is a product of the oxidative cleavage of the C–P bond in 2-qmpe and the formation of the 2-qca ligand. The title compound was characterized by infrared, ligand field, EPR spectroscopy and low temperature magnetic (1.8–300 K) studies. Particularly, the crystal and molecular structures were determined by the X-ray diffraction. The CoN₂O₄ chromophore shows an elongated octahedron geometry, resulting from the two didentate N,O-bonded chelate ligands and two ethanol molecules – quinolil nitrogen atoms are located in axial positions and oxygen atoms are positioned in the basal plane. The crystal packing is due to hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, which give rise to a three-dimensional (3D) polymeric network. The magnetic properties reflect the molecular character of the compound, with a very weak magnetic exchange interaction. The moments are enhanced due to an important orbital contribution via spin–orbit coupling.     

Fe2(SO4)3·H2SO4·28H2O,a low‐temperature water‐rich iron(III) sulfate

The title compound, diiron(III) trisulfate–sulfuric acid–water (1/1/28), has been prepared at temperatures between 235 and 239 K from acid solutions of Fe₂(SO₄)₃. Studies of the compound at 100 and 200 K are reported. The analysis reveals the structural features of an alum, (H₅O₂)Fe(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. The Fe(H₂O)₆ unit is located on a centre of inversion at (, 0, ), while the H₅O₂⁺ cation is located about an inversion centre at (, , ). The compound thus represents the first oxonium alum, although the unit cell is orthorhombic.

The structure is solved by direct method and refined to R = 0.099 for 4720 reflections with I ?4σ(I). The results of FT‐IR spectra suggest the binding of cobalt atom to the sulfonamide ligand which is in agreement with the crystal structure determination. In crystal structure, molecule is linked via, C‐H … π, C‐Cl … π and π … π intermolecular interactions. The computational studies like the optimization energy and root means square deviation compare with single crystal structure, frontier molecular orbital (Homo‐Lumo energy) and binding energy of the Co‐SCP has been carried out using DFT/B3LYP level of theory in gaseous phase. Hirshfeld surfaces and the 2D‐fingerprint analysis are performed to study the nature of interactions and their measurable contributions towards crystal packing. The interaction of the complex with DNA is investigated using viscosity measurement and absorption titration studies. The result shows the complex bind to DNA with intercalative mode with high DNA‐binding constant (K_b). Also, in vivo and in vitro cytotoxic studies are performed using S. pombe cells and brine shrimp lethality bioassay. DNA‐cleavage study shows better cleaving ability of the complex.
