Spectral analysis (FT-IR,FT-Raman,UV and NMR), molecular docking,ADMET properties and computational studies: 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde

The hybrid correlation method was used to examine the spectra of 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde (2H5NB) in the FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV–Vis and NMR ranges. For the best molecular shape, vibrational wavenumbers, infrared intensities, and Raman activity using density functional theory, B3LYP and the 6–311++G(d,p) basis set were used. The MOLVIB software was tasked with providing an in-depth interpretation of the vibrational spectra. Intermolecular charge transfer is a result of bonding orbitals participating as donors and acceptors in all phases of NBO analysis, which stabilizes molecules. High gastrointestinal absorption, but no brain-blood barrier penetration or cytochrome P450 inhibition, were observed despite the expected ADMET characteristics and expected gastrointestinal absorption (1A2, 2C19, 2C9, 2D6 and 3A4). Following CFN and EDE, the results of molecular docking showed that 2H5NB had the highest negative mean binding affinity of ?5.717 kcal/mol, followed by CFN and EDE. 2H5NB also had a more significant hydrogen bond with the amino acid residues of selected receptor proteins. As a result, the current compound may be described as a possible analeptic agent.     

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra, vibrational assignments and density functional studies of 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine

The Fourier transform Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectra of 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine were recorded in the solid phase. The equilibrium geometry, natural atomic charges, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities were calculated by density functional B3LYP method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The scaled theoretical wavenumbers showed very good agreement with the experimental values. A detailed interpretations of the infrared and Raman spectra of 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine is reported on the basis of the calculated potential energy distribution (PED). The theoretical spectrograms for the Raman and IR spectra of the title molecule have been constructed.     

Vibrational (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and NMR studies on selected metal (Ca, Mn, Zn) complexes with ortho-, meta-, and para-iodobenzoic acids

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.     

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy study of di-urethanesil hybrids doped with Mg(CF3SO3)2

In the present work di-urethane cross-linked poly(oxyethylene) (POE)/siloxane hybrids (di-urethanesils) incorporating magnesium triflate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂) with 100 ≥ n ≥ 2 (where n, composition, is the molar ratio of oxyethylene repeat units per Mg²⁺ ion) have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy to elucidate the Mg²⁺/POE, Mg²⁺/urethane, Mg²⁺/CF₃SO₃⁻ and hydrogen bonding interactions. The Mg²⁺ ions bond to POE chains and to the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the urethane linkages over the whole range of salt content studied. A crystalline POE/Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ complex of unknown stoichiometry is formed at n = 5. “Free” and weakly coordinated CF₃SO₃⁻ ions are present in all the materials examined. Contact ion pairs emerge at n ≤ 20 and higher ionic aggregates appear at n ≤ 5.     

Experimental (FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1H NMR) and theoretical study of magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium picolinates

The experimental IR, Raman, and 1H NMR spectra of picolinic acid, as well as magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium picolinates were registered, assigned and studied. Characteristic changes in the spectra of metal picolinates in comparison with the spectrum of ligand were observed, which lead to the conclusion that perturbation of the aromatic system of picolinates increases along with the series Mg-->Ca-->Sr-->Ba. Theoretical structures of beryllium and magnesium picolinates, as well as theoretical IR spectrum of magnesium picolinate were calculated in B3PW91/6-311++G(d, p) level. On the basis of calculated bond lengths in pyridine ring geometric, aromaticity indexes HOMA were calculated. The idea of these indexes is based on the fact that the essential factor in aromatic stabilization is the pi delocalization manifested in: planar geometry, equalization of the bond lengths and angles, and symmetry. The decidedly lower value of HOMA for magnesium picolinate (i.e. 0.545; 0.539) than that for beryllium picolinate (i.e. 0.998; 0.998) indicate higher aromatic properties of Be picolinate than of Mg picolinate. The comparison of theoretical and literature experimental structures of magnesium picolinate was done. The experimental structure contains two water molecules, so the calculations for hydrated magnesium picolinate were carried on, and the influence of coordinated water molecule on the structure of picolinates was discussed. The HOMAs for hydrated experimental and calculated Mg picolinate amount to 0.870; 0.743, and 0.900; 0.890, respectively, whereas for anhydrous structure, it is as described above, i.e. 0.545; 0.539. Thus, the calculations clearly showed that water molecules coordinated to the central atom weakens the effect of metal on the electronic system of ligand.     

Microencapsulated Red Powders from Cornflower Extract—Spectral (FT-IR and FT-Raman) and Antioxidant Characteristics

Although the health benefits of cornflower extracts are known, their application in food production has not been widely investigated. This study assessed microencapsulated red powders (RP) prepared from the aqueous extract of blue cornflower petals. Microencapsulation was performed by freeze-drying using various stabilizers, such as maltodextrin, guar gum, and lecithin. The microencapsulated RP were characterized by spectral (FT-IR and FT-Raman), mineral, structural, and antioxidant analyses. The FT-IR and FT-Raman band related to guar gum, lecithin, and maltodextrin dominated over the band characteristic of anthocyanins present in the cornflower petal powders. The main difference observed in the FT-Raman spectra was attributed to a shift of bands which is reflection of appearance of flavium cation forms of anthocyanins. The microencapsulated RP had total phenolic content of 21.6–23.4 mg GAE/g DW and total flavonoid content of 5.0–5.23 mg QE/g. The ABTS radical scavenging activity of the tested powders ranged from 13.8 to 20.2 EC₅₀ mg DW/mL. The reducing antioxidant power (RED) of the powders was estimated at between 31.0 and 38.7 EC₅₀ mg DW/mL, and OH^• scavenging activity ranged from 1.9 to 2.6 EC₅₀ mg DW/mL. Microencapsulated cornflower RP can be valuable additives to food such as sweets, jellies, puddings, drinks, or dietary supplements.

First FT-Raman and H NMR comparative investigations in ring opening metathesis polymerization

Kinetics of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of exo,exo-5,6-di(methoxycarbonyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, promoted by the Grubbs’ 1st generation precatalyst, has been effectively monitored by FT-Raman and NMR spectroscopy. Both techniques evidenced similar monomer conversions to be attained under the same reaction conditions. The present FT-Raman study provided information on the polymer steric configuration, the Raman bands at 1670 and 1677 cm⁻¹ being specifically assigned to stretching vibrations of double bonds from the cis- and trans-polymer, respectively. The trans/cis ratio observed by FT-Raman parallels the corresponding result from ¹H NMR. For the first time, a comparison was made on application of these complementary methods on the same ROMP reaction, evidencing their assets and disadvantages and reliability of FT-Raman.     

Molecular structure of 3-aminobenzoic acid complexes with alkali metals

The vibration (FT-IR, FT-Raman), electronic (UV-Vis) and NMR (1H and 13C) spectra for 3-aminobenzoic acid and its alkali metal salts were recorded. The influence of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium on the electronic system of the 3-aminobenzoic acid was studied. The assignment of the vibration spectra was done. Characteristic shifts of band wavenumbers and changes in band intensities along the metal series were observed. Good correlation between the wavenumbers of the vibrational bands in the IR and Raman spectra for 3-aminobenzoates and ionic potential, electronegativity, atomic mass and affinity of metal cations were found. The chemical shifts of protons (1H NMR) and carbons (13C NMR) in the series of studied alkali metals were also observed. Optimized geometrical structures of studied compounds were calculated by ab initio and density functional methods.     

FT-Raman, FT-IR spectra and total energy distribution of 3-pentyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one: DFT method

FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra were recorded for 3-pentyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (PDPO) sample in solid state. The equilibrium geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared and the Raman scattering intensities were computed using DFT/6-31G(d,p) level. Results obtained at this level of theory were used for a detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra, based on the total energy distribution (TED) of the normal modes. Molecular parameters such as bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles were calculated and compared with X-ray diffraction data. This comparison was good agreement. The intra-molecular charge transfer was calculated by means of natural bond orbital analysis (NBO). Hyperconjugative interaction energy was more during the π–π* transition. Energy gap of the molecule was found using HOMO and LUMO calculation, hence the less band gap, which seems to be more stable. Atomic charges of the carbon, nitrogen and oxygen were calculated using same level of calculation.     

FT-IR, FT-Raman vibrational spectra and molecular structure investigation of 2-chloro-4-methylaniline: A combined experimental and theoretical study

In this work, the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of 2-chloro-4-methylaniline (2Cl4MA, C₇H₈NCl) were studied. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2Cl4MA in the liquid phase have been recorded in the region 4000–400 cm⁻¹ and 3500–50 cm⁻¹, respectively. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state have been calculated by using Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6-31G(d), 6-31G(d,p), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-311G(d), 6-311G(d,p), 6-311+G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The vibrational frequencies have been calculated and scaled values have been compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The observed and calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. The DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations have been found more reliable than the ab initio HF/6-311++G(d,p) calculations for the vibrational study of 2Cl4MA. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) were compared with experimental values of aniline and p-methylaniline molecules.

The structural features of the compounds have been studied by elemental analyses, Mass, FT-Raman, FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activities of the ligands were evaluated using disk diffusion method in dimethyl sulfoxide as well as the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) dilution method, against 9 bacteria. The obtained results from disk diffusion method were assessed in side-by-side comparison with those of Penicillin-g, Ampicillin, Cefotaxime, Vancomycin, Oflaxacin, and Tetracyclin, well-known antibacterial agents. The results from dilution procedure were compared with Gentamycin as antibacterial and Nystatin as antifungal. The antifungal activities are reported on five yeast cultures namely Candida albicans, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Rhodotorula rubra, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Hanseniaspora guilliermondii, and the results are referenced with Nystatin, Ketaconazole, and Clotrimazole, commercial antifungal agents. In most cases, the compounds show strong antifungal activity in the comparison tests.     

Experimental (FTIR and FT-Raman) and ab initio and DFT study of vibrational frequencies of 5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid (ANB) have been recorded in the region 400-4000cm(-1). The observed frequencies were assigned to different modes of vibrations on the basis of fundamental, combination and overtones. The geometry has been optimized with complete relaxation on the potential energy surface at HF, MP2 and B3LYP level of theories using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and compared with the crystal data. The possible hydrogen bond interaction has been estimated taking a model compound. Further harmonic vibrational frequency calculations have been carried out at HF and B3LYP levels and the scaled values were in good agreement with majority of the experimental observations. The theoretically constructed spectra coincide satisfactorily with those of experimental spectra.     

New Organophosphorus Proligands and Amide Precursors: Crystal and Molecular Structures of Ph2P(X)NH(C6H3Pri 2-2,6) (X = O,S) and (OPPh2)(O2SMe)N(C6H3Pri 2-2,6)

The new organophosphorus proligand (OPPh₂)(O₂SMe)NR (R = C₆H₃Prⁱ ₂–2,6) (3) was prepared as a white crystalline solid by reacting the lithiated compound Li[Ph₂P(O)NR] with MeSO₂Cl in a 1:1 molar ratio. The precursor Ph₂P(O)NHR (1), as well as its thio analogue Ph₂P(S)NHR (2), were obtained in the reaction between the lithiated amine RNHLi and the corresponding organophosphorus chloride. All compounds were characterized by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1–3 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A zigzag polymeric chain is formed in the crystals of 1 and 2 by hydrogen N–H···X (X = O, S) bonding, while the crystal of 3 contains discrete monomeric units with a syn–syn conformation of the O?P(C)₂–N–S(C)(?O)₂ skeleton.

Interaction of hydrated protons with octyl-phenyl-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPO): NMR and theoretical study

Interaction of octyl-phenyl-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO, the 'classical' rare metal extraction agent) with fully ionized hydrated protons (HP) was studied in acetonitrile-d(3) using (1)H, (13)C, (31)P NMR, PFG NMR and magnetic relaxation. The experimental results were confronted with high-precision ab initio DFT calculations. Relative chemical shifts of NMR signals of CMPO (0.01 mol/L) under the presence of HP in the molar ratio β = 0-2.0 mol/mol show binding between CMPO and HP. Self-diffusion measurements using (1)H PFG NMR demonstrate that larger complexes with higher content of CMPO are generally formed at β < 0.75. Analyzing the collective dependence of (13)C and (31)P NMR chemical shifts on β by the use of program LETAGROP, we obtained very good fitting for the assumed coexistence of two complexes (CMPO)(2)·HP (C(2)) and CMPO.HP (C(1)). The logarithms of the respective stabilization constants log K(i) were found to be 7.518 (C(2)) and 4.581 (C(1)). The system dynamics was studied by measuring the transverse (1)H NMR relaxation using CPMG sequence with varying delays t(p) between the π pulses in the mixtures with β = 0.4-0.8. The following exchange correlation times were obtained: τ(10) = 2.35 × 10(-5), τ(20) = 0.82 × 10(-4), τ(21) = 0.45 × 10(-3) s. The DFT calculations support the conclusion that the complexes C(1) and C(2) are the main species in the mixtures of CMPO with HP. They also agree with the NMR and FTIR observation that the main site to which H(3) O(+) is bound is the P=O group, whereas the amide group does not form a strong bond with the ion when excess water molecules are present.     

DFT-based molecular modeling, NBO analysis and vibrational spectroscopic study of 3-(bromoacetyl)coumarin

The NIR-FT Raman and FT-IR spectra of 3-(bromoacetyl)coumarin (BAC) molecule have been recorded and analyzed. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation of two BAC conformers has been performed to find the optimized structures and computed vibrational wavenumbers of the most stable one. The obtained vibrational wavenumbers and optimized geometric parameters were seen to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Characteristic vibrational bands of the pyrone ring and methylene and carbonyl groups have been identified. The lowering of HOMO–LUMO energy gap clearly explains the charge transfer interactions taking place within the molecule.     

Substituent effects on (15)N and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones: a theoretical and spectroscopic study

The synthesis and assignment of (15)N and (13)C NMR signals of the 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one ring in a series of para-substituted 5-phenyl derivatives are reported. DFT calculations of (15)N and (13)C chemical shifts correspond closely to observed values. Substituent effects are interpreted in terms of the Hammett correlation and calculated bond orders.     

The impact of the pi-electron conjugation on (15)N, (13)C and (1)H NMR chemical shifts in push-pull benzothiazolium salts. Experimental and theoretical study

The (15)N as well as (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts of eight push-pull benzothiazolium iodides with various pi-conjugated chains between dimethylamino group and benzothiazolium moiety have been determined by NMR spectroscopy at the natural-abundance level of all nuclei in DMSO-d(6) solution. In general, the quaternary benzothiazolium nitrogen is more shielded [delta((15)N-3) vary between - 241.3 and - 201.9 ppm] with respect to parent 3-methylbenzothiazolium iodide [delta((15)N-3) = - 183.8 ppm], depending on the length and constitution of the pi-conjugated bridge. A larger variation in (15)N chemical shifts is observed on dimethylamino nitrogen, which covers the range of - 323.3 to - 257.2 ppm. The effect of pi-conjugation degree has a less pronounced influence on (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts. Experimental data are interpreted by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Reasonable agreement between theoretical and experimental (15)N NMR chemical shifts was found, particularly when performing calculations with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals. A better accord with experiment is achieved by utilizing a polarizable continuum model (PCM) along with an explicit treatment of hydrogen-bonding between the solute and the water present in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Finally, (13)C and (1)H NMR spectra were computed and analysed in order to compare them with available experimental data.
