This research examined the effects of solvent polarity and temperature on the tautomerization of a carbonitrile molecule at CAM-B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) level of theory. The selected solvents were n-hexane, diethyl ether, pyridine, ethanol, methanol, and water. The solvent effects were examined by the self-consistent reaction field theory (SCRF) based on conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM). The solvent effects were explored on the energy barrier, frontier orbitals energies, and HOMO-LUMO gap. Dependencies of thermodynamic parameters (ΔG and ΔH) on the dielectric constants of solvents were also tested. Specifically, the temperature dependencies of the thermodynamics parameters were studied within 100–1000 K range. The rate constant of the tautomerism reaction was computed from 300 to 1200 K, in the gas phase.

In this work, calculations of p K b values have been performed for aniline and its substituted derivatives and sulfonamide drugs by using Gaussian 98 software package. Gas-phase energies were calculated with HF /6-31 G ** and B3LYP /6-31 G ** levels of theory. Free energies of solvation have been computed using the polarizable continuum model (PCM), conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) and the integral equation formalism-polarizable continuum model (IEFPCM) at the same levels which have been used for geometry determination in the gas-phase. The results show that the calculated p K b values using the B3LYP /6-31 G ** are better than those using the corresponding HF /6-31 G **. At first, the correlation equation was found to determine the p K b values of the investigated anilines. Then, this correlation equation was used to calculate the p K b values of the sulfonamide drugs. The results obtained indicate that the PCM model is a suitable solvation model for calculating p K b values in comparison to the other solvation models. For the investigated compounds a good agreement between the experimental and the calculated p K b values was also observed.

Optical absorption spectra of 1,2-naphthoquinone in non-polar (n-hexane) and polar (water) solvents were obtained. It is shown that the use of quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p)) with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for calculating 1,2-naphthoquinone in a solution of n-hexane and hydrogen complex of 1,2-naphthoquinone with two water molecules in an aqueous medium describes well the shifts of the absorption bands of 1,2-naphthoquinone in a water solution compared to a solution in n-hexane. Based on the analysis of deviations of the calculated band shifts from the experimental ones, the question of the formation of 1,2-naphthoquinone hydrogen complexes with n water molecules (n = 1-4) in an aqueous solution is considered.
