Structural and Electronic Properties of New Materials Based on Thiophene and Phenylene

Theoretical study on the geometries and electronic properties of new conjugated compounds based on thiophene and phenylene was carried out. The theoretical ground-state geometries and electronic structures of the studied molecules were obtained using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP level with 6-31G(d) basis set. The electronic properties were determined by ZINDO/s, CIS/3-21G(d), and TD//B3LYP/3-21G(d) calculations performed on the B3LYP/6-31(d) optimized geometries. The effects of the ring structure and the substituents on the geometries and electronic properties of these materials were discussed. The results of this study indicate how the electronic properties can be tuned by the backbone ring or side group and suggest these compounds as good candidates for opto-electronic applications.

How to improve antifungal bioactivity: POM and DFT study of some chiral amides derivatives of diacetyl-L-tartaric acid and amines

A computational Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration and Density Functional Theory based model has been developed for the identification of physic–chemical parameters governing the bioactivity of chiral amides derivatives of diacetyl-L-tartaric acid and aromatic amines 4–9 containing combined antifungal pharmacophore sites. The six compounds 4–9 analyzed here were previously experimentally and now virtually screened for their antibacterial/antifungal activity. The highest antifungal activity was obtained for compound 6, which exhibited excellent % inhibition, comparable to Terbinafine. Compound 5, represents increased activity as compared to its isomer 6. The increase of bioactivity from 5 to 6 could be attributed to the existence of pi-charge transfer from para-Bromo-phenyl to its amid group (CO^δ?--NH^δ+), which plays a crucial template role in the organization of antifungal O,O-phramacophore sites. Moreover, it is cheap, has fewer side effects, and its possible inclusions in selective fungal/viral media such as Fusarium, HIV, and Hepatitis B/C have to be questioned.
