The catalytic coupling reaction mechanism for the transformation from p-aminothiophenol (PATP) to 4,4′-dimercaptoazobenzene (4,4′-DMAB) on silver cluster was studied by the density functional theory. All the reactants, intermediates, transition states and products were optimized with B3LYP method at 6-311+G (d, p) basis set (the LanL2DZ basis set was used for Ag atom). Transition states and intermediates have been confirmed by the corresponding vibration analysis and intrinsic reactions coordinate (IRC). In addition, nature bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) theories have been used to analyze orbital interactions and bond natures. Consistent with the conclusions reported in the literature, the core of obtaining the production of azobenzene according to the coupling reaction of PATP absorbed on Ag 5 clusters is the elimination of two H atoms. Meanwhile, we find that the effect of illumination in that reaction matters a lot. We also found in PATP molecular that the synergistic catalytic effect of S end absorbed on the catalyzer draws dramatically evident under no illumination conditions, while it draws less obvious under light. According to the paper's conclusion, PATP absorbed on the surface of Ag 5 tends to generate azobenzene easily.

In this work, a reaction mechanism of formation of noble gas (Ng) cluster ions has been theoretically investigated in detail. The kinetic studies of formation of Xe+Xe cluster in Xe, Ar+Ar cluster ions in Ar, and Ne+Ne cluster ions in Ne have been made as theoretically. The optimized structures in the ground state were calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) by the B3LYP method combined with the Stuttgart/Dresden effective core potential basis set (SDD). In addition, we calculated the rate constants of all cluster formations. The results are 1.15 × 10−31, 3.58 × 10−31, 0.23 × 10−31cm6/s, respectively for Neon, Argon, Xenon cluster ions.

The reaction of CoCl2·6H2O,N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine and triethylamine (Et3N) in ethanol solution under solvothermal conditions produced crystals of [N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycinato]chloridocobalt(II), [Co(C6H12NO4)Cl]. The CoIIion is coordinated in a slightly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment which is defined by three O atoms occupying the equatorial plane and the N and Cl atoms in the apical sites. In the crystal, two types of O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the molecules, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). The molecular structure of the title compound confirms the findings of FTIR, elemental analysis, ESI–MS analysis and TG analysis. By using the density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP) method with 6-31G(d) basis set, the molecular structure has been calculated and optimized.

AbstractThe conformational analysis of rasagiline [N-propargyl-1(R)-aminoindan] was performed by the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method using the 6–31++G (d,p) basis set. A single point energy calculations based on the B3LYP optimized geometries were also performed at MP2/6-31++G (d, p) level. The vibrational frequencies of the most stable conformer of rasagiline was calculated at the B3LYP level and vibrational assignments were made for normal modes on the basis of scaled quantum mechanical force field (SQM) method. The influence of mesylate and ethanedisulfonate salts on the geometry of rasagiline free base and its normal modes are also discussed.

Abstract A novel approach to the synthesis of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole via the Cu-catalyzed cyanation of 2-iodo-6-methoxybenzothiazole was developed. K4[Fe(CN)6] was used as a source of cyanide, and a Cu/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) system was utilized as a catalyst. This approach is scalable and can be practiced with operational benign. The most stable conformation of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole was delineated using the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d, p) basis set.

The transition states for the H 2 NO decomposition and rearrangements mechanisms have been explored by the CBS-Q method or by density functional theory. Six transition states were located on the potential energy surface, which were explored with the Quadratic Complete Basis Set (CBS-Q) and Becke's one-parameter density functional hybrid methods. Interesting deviations between the CBS-Q results and the B1LYP density functional theory lead us to believe that further study into this system is necessary. In the efforts to further assess the stabilities of the transition states, bond order calculations were performed to measure the strength of the bonds in the transition state.

The transformation of 2and#39;-hydroxychalcones to their corresponding flavanones was studied theoretically by the use of the density functional theory (DFT) with B3-LYP/ 6-311G basis set to get important information about the role of both of electronic and structural properties in this process. The obtained energies were found to be in agreement with our previous results that obtained from HPLC studies. The estimated hardness, polarizability, and electrophilicity profiles were found to obey the maximum hardness principle (MHP), minimum polarizability principle (MPP), and the minimum electrophilicity principle (MEP) respectively. Flavanone ring closure was found to be the rate-determining step.

The quantum chemical calculations of organic compounds viz. (E)-1-(2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3-ethylpiperidine-4-ylidene)-2-phenyl-hydrazine (3ECl), (E)-1-(2,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methylpiperidine-4-ylidene)-2-phenylhydrazine (3MCl) and (E)-1-(2,6-bis(4-chloro-phenyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperidine-4-ylidene)-2-phenylhydrazine (3,5-DMCl) have been performed by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP method with 6-311G (d,p) basis set. The electronic properties such as Frontier orbital and band gap energies have been calculated using DFT. Global reactivity descriptor has been computed to predict chemical stability and reactivity of the molecule. The chemical reactivity sites of compounds were predicted by mapping molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface over optimized geometries and comparing these with MEP map generated over crystal structures. The charge distribution of molecules predict by using Mulliken atomic charges. The non-linear optical property was predicted and interpreted the dipole moment (μ), polarizability (α) and hyperpolarizability (β) by using density functional theory.

AbstractPossible stable conformers of the 1-(4-pyridyl)piperazine (1-4pypp) molecule were experimentally and theoretically studied by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. FT-IR and Raman spectra were recorded in the region of 4000–200 cm−1. Optimized geometric structures related to the minimum on the potential energy surface were investigated by the B3LYP hybrid density functional theory method using the 6-31G(d) basis set. Comparison of the experimental and theoretical results indicates that the density functional B3LYP method provides satisfactory results for the prediction of vibrational wavenumbers and structural parameters and equatorial-equatorial (e-e) isomer is supposed to be the most stable form of the 1–4pypp molecule.
