Relationship between solvation energy, chemical potential and hardness variations

Starting from a density functional theory (DFT) formalism describing the energy change from one ground state representing an isolated solute, to another one representing the same solute in the field of the solvent, it is possible to obtain a simple and useful expression for the solvation energy in terms of the variation of the electronic chemical potential and global hardness associated to the change from gas to solution phase. Since both properties may be obtained from an orbital theory within the approximate Self Consistent Reaction Field (SCRF) methodology, the proposed model is expected to be useful for the analysis of chemical reactivity in solution.

Local and nonlocal density functional calculations of the molecular structure of isomeric thiadiazoles

The chemistry of thiadiazoles and their derivatives is of considerable interest in chemistry owing to their pharmacological and potential industrial applications. In this context, a detailed study of isomeric thiadiazole molecules has been done using local (SVWN; Slater, and Vosko, Wilk and Nusair) and nonlocal (BLYP; Becke, and Lee, Yang and Parr) density functionals and optimizing the molecular geometries by means of the gradient technique. A charge sensitivity analysis of the studied molecule has been performed by resorting to density functional theory, obtaining several sensitivity coefficients such as the molecular energy, net atomic charges, global and local hardness, global and local softness and Fukui functions. With these results and the analysis of the dipole moments, the molecular electrostatic potentials and the total electron density maps, several conclusions have been inferred about the preferred sites of chemical reaction of the studied compounds. The condensed Fukui functions are shown to be one of the best criteria for predicting chemical reactivity.     

Quantum chemical studies on the tautomerism of some potentially tautomeric aminoindazole derivatives

The aqueous phase AM1, PM3, and PM5 calculation data had indicated that when a potentially tautomeric amino group is placed at 3C position of the indazole ring the ring-chain tautomerism becomes feasible. However, when the amino group is placed at 4–7C of the indazole ring only the annular tautomerism was found to be feasible and no effect of amino group to provoke a ring chain tautomerism was observed. On the other hand amino form of 3 amino substituted indazole was found to be predominant over imino forms whereas for the 4–7 amino substituted indazoles imino forms were found to be predominant over amino forms. The attempt to apply soft–hard base and soft nucleophile–electrophile criteria to protonation and tautomerism phenomena was successful.
