This work presents a computational study on the tautomeric forms of (E)-4-Methoxy-2-[(4-nitrophenyl)iminomethyl]phenol, an ortho-hydroxy Schiff base compound. The electronic structure of title compound has been characterized at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of density functional theory. The first hyperpolarizability values have been obtained from the molecular polarizabilities for both tautomers. The second-order non-linear optical properties have been investigated based on their relationships with the natural bond orbitals and frontier molecular orbitals. The changes of thermodynamic properties with temperature going from 100 K to 300 K have been investigated for the reactants and the reaction products tautomers. Tautomeric equilibrium constant derived from the difference between the Gibbs free energies of tautomers has been obtained at different temperatures. The relationship between formation enthalpy and entropy changes has been investigated with the enthalpy-entropy compensation.

Abstract The concern of the present study is to investigate the non-linear optical properties of super halogen doped borophene owing to its broad applications. The first principle study of the material for its non-linear optical properties elaborated its use for electrical and optical applications. The super halogen-based borophene in lithium ion-based batteries and medical appliances have made it one of the most potential materials for optoelectronics. First, hyperpolarizability (βo) of pure and doped B36 is computed and the difference between their values was examined. The vertical ionization energy (VIE) was calculated for pure and doped systems. The interaction energy (Eint) for all combinations was computed. It would be expected to one of the best materials to have high capacity and resistance. For all the calculations and to calculate the HOMO and LUMO energy gap, the density functional theory (DFT) method was used. After observing all the above properties, it was predicted that these combinations are more beneficial and displayed the better nonlinear optical (NLO) for electronic devices.

In this research article, we reported solvent effects on non-linear optical (NLO) properties of 5,5′-disubstituted-2,2′-bipyridine complexes of ruthenium. The polarizability (α) and hyperpolarizability (β) were calculated in the gas phase. Benzene (ϵ (dielectric constant) = 2.3), THF (ϵ = 7.52), dichloromethane (ϵ = 8.93), acetone (ϵ = 21.01), methanol (ϵ = 33.00), and water (ϵ = 80.10) were used by density functional theory. These solvents cover a wide range of polarities. The results of theoretical investigation showed that the non-linear optical properties were significantly increased with the increase in solvent polarity. The results of this study also showed that similarly to structural modifications, polarity of the medium may play a significant role in modulating the NLO properties.

Alkaloids are a group of naturally occurring chemical compounds and show immense potential of medicinal uses in traditional systems. In this work, a computational study on an alkaloid aristolochc acidid II (AA II) is presented using density functional theory, B3LYP functional employing 6-311G (d,p) basis set. Natural bond orbital analysis has been carried out to investigate the various conjugative and hyperconjugative interactions within the molecule and their second-order stabilisation energy (E(2)). The local nucleophilic reactivity descriptors such as Fukui functions (f+k, f-k), local softness (s+k, s-k) and electrophilicity indices (ω+k,ω-k) analyses have been carried out to determine the reactive sites within the molecule. The non-linear optical properties have been calculated using the same basis set. The calculated value of the first order hyperpolarisability (β0), suggests that the investigated molecule is an attractive object in future for non-linear optical properties.
