Background: Pharmacological and physicochemical classification of bases’ selected analogues of nucleic acids is proposed in the study. Objective: Structural parameters received by the PCM (Polarizable Continuum Model) with several types of calculation methods for the structures in vacuo and in the aquatic environment together with the huge set of extra molecular descriptors obtained by the professional software and literature values of biological activity were used to search the relationships. Methods: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) together with Factor Analysis (FA) and Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR) as the types of the chemometric approach based on semi-empirical ab initio molecular modeling studies were performed. Results: The equations with statistically significant descriptors were proposed to demonstrate both the common and differentiating characteristics of the bases' analogues of nucleic acids based on the quantum chemical calculations and biological activity data. Conclusion: The obtained QSAR models can be used for predicting and explaining the activity of studied molecules.

Ab initio MO optimalization of the 2H-pyran molecule leads to a defined equilibrium geometry of this so far not identified heterocyclic molecule and to a physical justification of its existence. More advanced nonempirical wavefunctions and temperature corrections indicate that heterocyclic molecule I is energetically less stable than non-cyclic isomers II and III. Wavenumbers of fundamental vibrational transitions of heterocycle I and also known (2E)-2,4-pentadienal (IIIb were calculated using 3-21 G wavefunctions. The vibrational spectrum of compound I is predicted on the basis of correlation corrections.

Quantum-chemical ab initio, time-independent, as well as time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were performed on the so far elusive heterocycles inda- and thallabenzene (C5H5In and C5H5Tl), employing several different methods (MP2, CISD, CCSD, CCSD(T), BD, BD(T), QCISD, QCISD(T), CASSCF, DFT/B3LYP), effective core potentials, and different basis sets. While calculations on the MP2 level predict the ground states of the title compounds to be singlets with the first triplet states between 13 and 15 kcal mol−1 higher in energy, single point calculations with the QCISD(T), CCSD(T), and BD(T) methods at CCSD-optimized structures result in energy differences between the singlet and the triplet states in the range between 0.3 and 2.1 kcal mol−1 in favour of the triplet states. According to a CASSCF(8,8) calculation the triplets are also more stable by about 2.5–2.9 kcal mol−1. Calculations were also performed for the C5v-symmetric η5 structural isomers (cyclopentadienylindium, CpIn, and cyclopentadienylthallium, CpTl, Cp = C5H5) of the title compounds. At the highest level of theory employed in this study, C5H5In is between 79 and 88 kcal mol−1 higher in energy than CpIn, while this energy difference is even larger for thallabenzene where C5H5Tl is energetically between 94 and 102 kcal mol−1 above CpTl. In addition we report on the UV/vis spectra calculated with a TD-DFT method as well as on the spectra of the normal modes of C5H5In and C5H5Tl. Both types of spectra might facilitate identification of the title compounds eventually formed in photolysis or pyrolysis experiments.

<p>This article presents theoretical data on geometric and energetic features of halobenzenes and xylenes. Data were obtained from <i>ab initio</i> geometry optimization and frequency calculations at HF, B3LYP, MP2 and CCSD levels of theory on 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. In total, 1504 structures of halobenzenes, three structures of xylenes and one structure of benzene were generated and processed by custom-made codes in Mathematica. The quantum chemical calculation was completed in Q-Chem software package. Geometric and energetic data of the compounds are presented in this paper as supplementary tables. Raw output files as well as codes and scripts associated with production and extraction of data are also provided.</p>
