Theoretical study of several N-nitrosodiphenylamine biological molecules has been performed using quantum computational ab initio RHF and density functional B3LYP and B3PW91 methods with 6–311G++(d,p) basis set. Geometries obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to perform Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The p characters of two nitrogen natural hybrid orbitals (NHOs) σN3−N2 increase with increasing σp values of the substituents on the benzene, which results in a lengthening of the N3–N2 bond. The p characters of oxygen NHO σO1−N2 and nitrogen NHO σO1−N2 bond orbitals decrease with increasing σp values of the substituents on the benzene, which results in a shortening of the N2=O1 bond. It is also noted that decreased occupancy of the localized σN3−N2 orbital in the idealized Lewis structure, or increased occupancy of [Formula: see text]of the non-Lewis orbital, and their subsequent impact on molecular stability and geometry (bond lengths) are also related to the resulting p character of the corresponding nitrogen NHO of σN3−N2 bond orbital.

In this paper, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, nonlinear optical and the thermodynamic properties of 10-Acetyl-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide have been analyzed by employing density functional theory level employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. NBO analysis reveals that the intra- intermolecular charge transfer occurs within the molecule leading to the stabilization. The predicted nonlinear optical properties (NLO) like; polarizability and first hyperpolarizabiliy support that the molecule could attract the interests for future investigation.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 131-139

Density functional theory (DFT) method and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set were used to determine coordination geometries, binding strength, and metal ion affinity (MIA) for interaction of 2′-deoxythymidine (dT) with alkali metal cations including Li+, Na+ , and K+ . Calculations demonstrated that the interaction of dT with these cations is tri-coordinated η (O2, O4′, O5′). Among these cations, Li+ cation exhibited the most tendency for interaction with dT. Cations via their interaction with dT can affect the N-glycosidic bond length, the values of pseudorotation of the sugar ring, the orientation of base unit with respect to sugar ring and the acidity of O5′H, O3′H, and N3H groups in 2′-dT nucleoside. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed to calculate the charge transfer and natural population analysis of the complexes. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was also applied to determine the nature of interactions. It was shown that in these complexes, (dT- Li+ , dT- Na+ , and dT- K+ ), the bonds are an electrostatic (closed-shell) interaction in the nature.

Calculations based on the density functional theory, with the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, were performed with the aim of confirming the molecular structure and spectroscopic characteristics of kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid molecule. The electronic structure of kaempferol was examined using NBO analysis. The assigning of the experimentally obtained IR and Raman spectra was performed after the best-fit-based comparison with theoretical spectra. The 13C and 1H NMR experimental spectra were related to the theoretically obtained values of the chemical shifts determined by the GIAO method. The correlation coefficient and the average absolute error values proved B3LYP-D3 to be an adequate method in describing the NMR parameters of kaempferol. Molecular docking analysis was carried out in order to identify the potency of inhibition of the title molecule against human procalcitonin. The inhibition activity was obtained for 10 conformations of ligand inside the protein.

In the crystal structure ofO,O′-diethylN-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)thiophosphate, C13H22NO2PS, two symmetrically independent thiophosphoramide molecules are linked through N—H...S and N—H...π hydrogen bonds to form a noncentrosymmetric dimer, withZ′ = 2. The strengths of the hydrogen bonds were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) at the M06-2X level within the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, and by considering the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). It was found that the N—H...S hydrogen bond is slightly stronger than the N—H...π hydrogen bond. This is reflected in differences between the calculated N—H stretching frequencies of the isolated molecules and the frequencies of the same N—H units involved in the different hydrogen bonds of the hydrogen-bonded dimer. For these hydrogen bonds, the corresponding charge transfers,i.e.lp (or π)→σ*, were studied, according to the second-order perturbation theory in natural bond orbital (NBO) methodology. Hirshfeld surface analysis was applied for a detailed investigation of all the contacts participating in the crystal packing.

Vibrational and spectral characterizations of 2-(6-oxo-2-thioxo tetrahydro pyrimidin-4(1h)-ylidene) hydrazine carboxamide (OTHHPYHC) were experimentally presented for the ground state using FTIR and FT-Raman and theoretically presented by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP correlation function with the basis set 6-31G(d,p). The geometrical parameters, energies, and wavenumbers have been obtained. The fundamental assignments were performed on the basis of total energy distribution. The first order hyperpolarizability (β0) and relative properties (β, α0, and Δα) were calculated using B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) method. Solidity of the molecule due to hyperconjugative interactions and charge delocalization has been analysed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The charge distribution and electron transfer from bonding to antibonding orbitals and electron density in the σ* and π* antibonding orbitals confirms interaction within the molecule. In addition to this, Mulliken population and HOMO–LUMO analysis have been used to support the information of structural properties.

2-Substituted N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amines were synthesized either from their corresponding 6-chloro-9-methyl-9H-purines or 2-chloro-N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amine. Great diversity in the amino/imino tautomeric ratios was observed and calculated based on 1H NMR. The tautomers were identified by 1D and 2D 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR techniques, and showed significant variation both in 13C and 15N shift values. Comparison of the tautomeric ratios with Hammett F values revealed that as the field/inductive withdrawing abilities of the 2-substituent increased, the ratio of amino:imino tautomers was shifted toward the amino tautomer. Computational chemistry exposed the significance of hydrogen bonding between solvent and the compound in question to reach accurate predictions for tautomeric ratios. B3LYP/def2-TZVP density functional theory (DFT) calculations resulted in quantitatively more accurate predictions than when employing the less expensive BP86 functional. N-7-Alkylation of the 2-substituted N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amines showed that when the field/inductive withdrawing ability of the 2-substituent reached a certain point the reactivity drastically dropped. This correlated with the atomic charges on N-7 calculated using a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Biological screening of the final 2-substituted agelasine analogs indicated that the introduction of a methyl group in the 2-position is advantageous for antimycobacterial and antiprotozoal activity, and that an amino function may improve activity against several cancer cell lines.

The optimized molecular structures and vibrational frequencies and also gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO)1H and13C NMR shift values of benzoylcholine chloride [(2-benzoyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] have been calculated using density functional theory (B3LYP) method with 6-31++G(d) basis set. The comparison of the experimental and calculated infrared (IR), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra has indicated that the experimental spectra are formed from the superposition of the spectra of two lowest energy conformers of the compound. So, it was concluded that the compound simultaneously exists in two optimized conformers in the ground state. Also the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has supported the simultaneous exiting of two conformers in the ground state. The calculated optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) and vibrational frequencies for both the lowest energy conformers were seen to be in a well agreement with the corresponding experimental data.
