Three 1-phenylindolin-2-one derivatives, namely 1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H11NO, (I), 5-bromo-1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H10BrNO, (II), and 5-iodo-1-phenylindolin-2-one, C14H10INO, (III), have been synthesized and their structures determined. Compounds (I) and (II) crystallized in the centrosymmetric space groupsPbcaandP21/c, respectively, while compound (III) crystallized in the polar space groupAea2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the molecular dipole moment gradually decreases in the order (I) > (II) > (III). The relatively smaller dipole moment of (III) and the larger non-electrostatic intermolecular interactions may be the main reasons for the noncentrosymmetric and polar structure of (III).

Two polymorphs (α, β) of pyrazinium hydrogen sulfate (pyzH+HSO_4^-, abbreviated as PHS) with distinctly different hydrogen-bond types and topologies but close electronic energies have been synthesized and characterized for the first time. The α-polymorph (P212121) forms distinct blocks in which the pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions are interconnected through a network of NH...O and OH...O hydrogen bonds. The β-form (P\bar 1) consists of infinite chains of alternating pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions connected by NH...O and OH...N hydrogen bonds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate the possible existence of a hypothetical polar P1 form of the β-polymorph with an unusually high dipole moment.

The dipole moment is the molecular property that most directly indicates molecular polarity. The accuracy of computed dipole moments depends strongly on the quality of the calculated electron density, and the breakdown of single-reference methods for strongly correlated systems can lead to poor predictions of the dipole moments in those cases. Here, we derive the analytical expression for obtaining the electric dipole moment by multiconfiguration pair density functional theory (MC-PDFT), and we assess the accuracy of MC-PDFT for predicting dipole moments at equilibrium and nonequilibrium geometries. We show that MC-PDFT dipole moment curves have reasonable behavior even for stretched geometries, and they significantly improve upon the CASSCF results by capturing more electron correlation. The analysis of a dataset consisting of 18 first-row transition metal diatomics and 6 main-group polyatomic molecules with multireference character suggests that MC-PDFT and its hybrid extension (HMC-PDFT) perform comparably to CASPT2 and MRCISD+Q methods and have a mean unsigned deviation of 0.2–0.3 D with respect to the best available dipole moment reference values. We explored the dependence of the predicted dipole moments upon the choice of the on-top density functional and active space, and we recommend the tPBE and hybrid tPBE0 on-top choices for the functionals combined with the moderate correlated participating orbital scheme for selecting the active space. With these choices, the mean unsigned deviations (in debyes) of the calculated equilibrium dipole moments from the best estimates are 0.77 for CASSCF, 0.29 for MC-PDFT, 0.24 for HMC-PDFT, 0.28 for CASPT2, and 0.25 for MRCISD+Q. These results are encouraging because the computational cost of MC-PDFT or HMC-PDFT is largely reduced compared to the CASPT2 and MRCISD+Q methods.

The aggregation ability and exciton dynamics of dyes are largely affected by properties of the dye monomers. To facilitate aggregation and improve excitonic function, dyes can be engineered with substituents to exhibit optimal key properties, such as hydrophobicity, static dipole moment differences, and transition dipole moments. To determine how electron donating (D) and electron withdrawing (W) substituents impact the solvation, static dipole moments, and transition dipole moments of the pentamethine indocyanine dye Cy5, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD-) DFT calculations were performed. The inclusion of substituents had large effects on the solvation energy of Cy5, with pairs of withdrawing substituents (W-W pairs) exhibiting the most negative solvation energies, suggesting dyes with W-W pairs are more soluble than others. With respect to pristine Cy5, the transition dipole moment was relatively unaffected upon substitution while numerous W-W pairs and pairs of donating and withdrawing substituents (D-W pairs) enhanced the static dipole difference. The increase in static dipole difference was correlated with an increase in the magnitude of the sum of the Hammett constants of the substituents on the dye. The results of this study provide insight into how specific substituents affect Cy5 monomers and which pairs can be used to engineer dyes with desired properties.

The structural and electronic properties of 3'(4-(5-oxo-5-piperidin1-1-yl)penta-1,3-dienyl)benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-2-yl]-thymidine molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT/3-21G*, 6-31G* and 6-31G**). The geometry of the molecule is optimized, and the electronic properties and relative energies of the molecules have been calculated by density functional theory in the ground state. The resultant dipole moments of the studied molecule are about 5.5, 6.36 and 7.35 Debyes by three levels (3-21G*, 6-31G* and 6-31G**, respectively). This property makes it an active molecule with its environment that is this molecule may interacts with its environment strongly in solution.Keywords:  3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT); Piperine; Density functional theory (DFT); Thymidine.© 2011 JSR Publications.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to calculate the optimized geometries of stepwise fluorinated methylenecyclopropanes and 1-methylcyclopropenes. Increasing the number of fluorine atoms caused a destabilization of methylenecycopropane. Perfluorinated 1-methylcyclopropene was found to be present in substantial concentration. This is supported by calculations of the Gibbs free energy, isodesmic reactions and orbital energies (HOMO-LUMO). These results are compared with the fluorinated cyclopropanes keto-enol system. Enthalpies, entropies and dipole moments are reported.

Of particular interest within the +6 uranium complexes is the linear uranyl(vi) cation and it forms numerous coordination complexes in solution and exhibits incongruent redox behavior depending on coordinating ligands. This DFT study predicts VI/V reduction potentials of a range of uranyl(vi) complexes in non-aqueous solutions within ∼0.10−0.20 eV of experiment.
