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.

Abstract Many metal carbonyl complexes have been synthesized and analyzed as CO-releasing agents. As in many bioactivity assays, differences between in-vitro and in-vivo studies in Myoglobin Assay have been observed. Adjustment of in-vitro conditions to in-vivo conditions is one way to overcoming this problem. Changing the conditions of each in-vivo assay is not possible considering the available grant, material, and labor facilities. In-silico methods are suitable as they provide better in-vitro conditions before experimental procedures. A method which is easy to employ on a basic computer could be more suitable to observe the assay convergence. In this study, global reactivity descriptors were used as an approach to investigate pH differences in myoglobin assay. Global reactivity descriptors of the molecules were compared with myoglobin assay results at different pH values and molecular docking results performed with optimized molecules in different solvents. The following complexes were studied: [Mn(CO)3(bpy)(L)]PF6 (bpy: 2,2-bipyridyl, L: benzylbenzimidazole, 4-chlorobenzylbenzimidazole).

<p>In this work we have calculated global and local DFT reactivity descriptors for tartrazine at B3LYP/6-311++G (2d,2p) level. Global reactivity descriptors such as ionization energy, molecular hardness, electrophilicity, and total energies were calculated to evaluate the tartrazine reactivity in aqueous and gas conditions. Local reactivity was evaluated through the Fukui function. The influence of the solvent was taken into account with the PCM model. The results indicate that the solvation process modifies the reactivity descriptors values. From our results, it was found that an electrophilic attack allows a direct cleavage of the N=N bond. If a nucleophilic attack is considered as initial attack, it is necessary a second attack by free radicals or electrophiles to cleave the N=N bond. In the case of an initial attack by free radicals, tartrazine requires a subsequent nucleophilic attack to cleave the N=N bond.</p>
