AbstractSynthesis of N-and C-substituted derivatives of benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridine, bearing 2-hydroxyethyl group has been made by quaternization reaction and by condensation of corresponding methylbenzonaphthyridines with formaldehyde. For six derivatives of isomeric benzo[c][1,5]-, benzo[h][1,6]-, and benzo[f][1,7]naphthyridines the 13C NMR spectra are discussed.For ten compounds the geometry was optimized with the AM1 and, in one case also with the ab initio 6–31G method; their effective charge values have also been calculated.

We present a new geodesic-based method for geometry optimization in a basis of redundant internal coordinates. Our method updates the molecular geometry by following the geodesic generated by a displacement vector on the internal coordinate manifold, which dramatically reduces the number of steps required to reach convergence. Our method can be implemented in any existing optimization code, requiring only implementation of derivatives of the Wilson B-matrix and the ability to solve an ordinary differential equation.

Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter that is involved in various psychological processes. In the neurotransmission process, noradrenaline binds to an adrenergic receptor by forming a complex of hydrogen bonds between its two catechol ring hydroxyl groups and the amino acid residues of adrenergic receptors. Although the two catechol ring hydroxyl groups play a crucial role in making hydrogen bonds to the binding site of the adrenergic receptor, the contribution of the catechol ring hydroxyl groups to the intramolecular stability that may affect docking has not been fully studied. To reveal the specific role that the catechol ring hydroxyl groups might play in stabilizing noradrenaline, the quantum chemical computations of geometry optimization and thermodynamic functions of N-protonated noradrenaline conformers were performed at both the B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) and G3MP2B3 levels of theory, using the Gaussian 03 program. The results were compared with those of N-protonated β-hydroxy-β-phenylethylamine, which is identical to noradrenaline except it lacks two catechol ring hydroxyl groups. For the first time, post-Hartree–Fock computations were used to obtain thermodynamic functions to establish relative stabilities of all possible conformers of N-protonated noradrenaline. In this study, 18 distinct structures of N-protonated noradrenaline were revealed, and the catechol ring hydroxyl groups were found to affect noradrenaline stability positively or negatively depending on the conformational orientations. On the basis of available experimental results, the issue that the least stable conformation of two catechol ring hydroxyl groups may be involved in the docking process has been raised. These findings may be useful in synthesis of derivatives of noradrenaline in drug design.

AbstractModeling chemical reactions and complicated molecular systems has been proposed as the “killer application” of a future quantum computer. Accurate calculations of derivatives of molecular eigenenergies are essential toward this end, allowing for geometry optimization, transition state searches, predictions of the response to an applied electric or magnetic field, and molecular dynamics simulations. In this work, we survey methods to calculate energy derivatives, and present two new methods: one based on quantum phase estimation, the other on a low-order response approximation. We calculate asymptotic error bounds and approximate computational scalings for the methods presented. Implementing these methods, we perform geometry optimization on an experimental quantum processor, estimating the equilibrium bond length of the dihydrogen molecule to within $$0.014$$0.014 Å of the full configuration interaction value. Within the same experiment, we estimate the polarizability of the H$${}_{2}$$2 molecule, finding agreement at the equilibrium bond length to within $$0.06$$0.06 a.u. ($$2 \%$$2% relative error).

The Ru(II) complexes of hydrazine derivatives of different 3-hydroxy 4-substituted flavones was synthesized to assess their biological activity. The ligand 2, 4 dinitrophenyl hydrazones of 3-hydroxy 4´-substituted flavones [where 4´-substituents are -OCH3(HL1), -NO2(HL2), NMe2(HL3), Cl (HL4), OCH2Ph (HL5)] were successfully coordinated with Ru(phen)2Cl2 which consists of the formula, [Ru(phen)2(HL1)]Cl2.2.5H2O (M1R), [Ru(phen)2(HL2)]Cl2(M2R), [Ru(phen)2(HL3)]Cl2(M3R), [Ru(phen)2(HL4)]Cl2.1.5H2O (M4R), [Ru(phen)2(HL5)]Cl2.1.5H2O (M5R). All the synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and ESI-MS spectroscopic techniques. The geometry optimization of all complexes was carried by using Gaussian-09. All compounds were studied for antimycobacterial activity using Resazurin microtiter plate assay (REMA) followed by colony-forming unit (CFU) count. The metal complexes showed promising activity against M. smegmatis mc2. The DNA interaction of the complexes was also studied. These studies suggest that hydrazine derivatives of 3-hydroxy 4-substituted flavones and their Ru(II) complexes can be good candidates for antimycobacterial drug development studies.

The monofunctionalized cyclohexasilanes XSi6Me11 [X = -OH (2); -NH2 (3)] are easily accessible from XSi6Me11 and H2O/Et3N or NH3, respectively. The crystal structure of 2 as determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography exhibits the cyclohexasilane ring in chair conformation with the OH group in an unusual equatorial position due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Full geometry optimization (B3LYP/6-31+G∗) of the gas-phase structures of 2 and 3 affords six minima on the potential energy surface for chair, twist and boat conformers with the heterosubstituents either in axial or equatorial positions all being very close in energy. According to time-dependent DFT B3LYP/TZVP calculations contributions of several conformers to the observed solution UV absorption spectra of dodecamethylcyclohexasilane (1), 2 and 3 need to be considered in order to achieve satisfactory agreement of calculated and experimental data
