Our theoretical study of stability and reactivity was carried out on six (06) molecules of a series of pyrimidine tetrazole hybrids (PTH) substituted with H, F, Cl, Br, OCH3 and CH3 atoms and groups of atoms using the density function theory (DFT). Analysis of the thermodynamic formation quantities confirmed the formation and existence of the series of molecules studied. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP / 6-311G (d, p) level of theory determined molecular descriptors. Global reactivity descriptors were also determined and analyzed. Thus, the results showed that the compound PTH_1 is the most stable, and PTH_5 is the most reactive and nucleophilic. Similarly, the compound PTH_4 is the most electrophilic. The analysis of the local descriptors and the boundary molecular orbitals allowed us to identify the preferred atoms for electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks.

In this work the formation of vinylphosphines was studied through the hydrophosphination reaction. The study aims to rationalize the stereoselectivity of these compounds using quantum DFT methods. This theoretical study of chemical reactivity was conducted at B3LYP/6-311 + G (d, p) level. Global chemical reactivity descriptors, stationary point energies and activation barriers were examined to foretell the relative stability of the stereoisomers formed. The various results obtained have revealed that the addition of arylphosphine to dihalogenoacetylene is stereospecific. The Trans form of vinylphosphines is more stable than the Cis form, when the substituent on phosphorus generates less or no π-conjugations. On the other hand, the Cis isomer is predominant when the aryl radical favors more π-conjugations. The theoretical results obtained are in agreement with the experimental results.

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study dedicated to analyzing the structural stability and chemical reactivity of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in the presence of air and nitrogen atmospheres in the temperature interval of 300–1000 K.
