The Raman (3500[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]100[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] and IR spectra (4000[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]400[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] of liquid trimethylacetonitrile (C5H9N, TMA) have been obtained. In addition, the 1H and [Formula: see text]C NMR spectra of TMA were obtained in DMSO-[Formula: see text] and CDCl3. The staggered conformer (C[Formula: see text] was favored using MP2 and DFT(B3LYP/[Formula: see text]B97XD) quantum mechanical calculations utilizing a 6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) basis set. High energy difference estimates of 4534[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]5338[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] (12.96[Formula: see text]kcal/mol[Formula: see text]15.26[Formula: see text]kcal/mol) were predicted, along with three imaginary torsion frequencies for the eclipsed conformer, therefore considered a transition state. The 1H and [Formula: see text]C NMR chemical shifts were predicted with B3LYP and [Formula: see text]B97XD methods using the GIAO approximation and 6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) basis set. B3LYP frequencies calculation is favored herein owing to the relatively good compilation with the experimental measurements. The computed structural parameters are well correlated to those reported from electron diffraction and microwave studies. Moreover, the [Formula: see text]C[Formula: see text]H coupling constant was estimated and found consistent with that observed for the sample dissolved in DMSO-[Formula: see text]/CDCl3 solvents. Using the observed methyl torsion at 266[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] in gas phase and the kinetic parameter F number, a potential function (V[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text]([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kcal/mol) was obtained, this barrier to internal rotation is well correlated to 1527[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text] (4.37[Formula: see text]kcal/mol) predicted from MP2/6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) potential surface scan. Aided by the predicted wavenumbers and their IR intensity/Raman activity, the observed IR/Raman bands were intensively discussed and therefore assigned to their corresponding fundamentals, in agreement with novel normal coordinate analysis and potential energy distributions (PEDs).

AbstractQuantum chemical calculations have been performed to study the molecular geometry, 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts, conformational, natural bond orbital (NBO) and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the 2-chloro-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4- methoxy-6-methylpyrimidine molecule in the ground state using DFT and HF methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometric parameters and 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts have been compared with the experimental values of the title molecule. The results of the calculations show excellent agreement between the experimental and calculated frequencies at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. In order to provide a full understanding of the properties of the title molecule in the context of molecular orbital picture, the highest occupied molecular energy level (EHOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular energy level (ELUMO), the energy difference (DE) between EHOMO and ELUMO, electronegativity (χ), hardness (η) and softness (S) have been calculated using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and HF/6-311++G(d,p) levels. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that the charge transfer occurs within the title molecule.

Objective: Two novel Schiff bases named, 2-((2-Hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzo[b] thiophene-3-carbonitrile (BESB1) and 2-((Furan-2-ylmethylene)amino)-4,5,6, 7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile (BESB2) were synthesized. Methods: The structures were characterized based on CHN elemental analysis, mid-infrared (400– 4000 cm-1), Raman (100-4000 cm-1), 1H NMR, mass and UV-Vis spectroscopic measurements. In addition, quantum mechanical calculations using DFT-B3LYP method at 6-31G(d) basis set were carried out for both Schiff bases. Initially, we have carried out complete geometry optimizations followed by frequency calculations for the proposed conformational isomers; BESB1 (A–E) and BESB2 (F–J) based on the orientations of both CN and OH groups against the azomethine lonepair (NLP) in addition to the 3D assumption. Results: The computational outcomes favor conformer A for BESB1 in which the C≡N and OH moieties are cis towards the NLP while conformer G is preferred for BESB2 (the C≡N/furan-O are cis/trans towards the NLP) which was found consistent with the results of relaxed potential energy surface scan. Aided by normal coordinate analysis of the Cartesian coordinate displacements, we have suggested reliable vibrational assignments for all observed IR and Raman bands. Moreover, the electronic absorption spectra for the favored conformers were predicted in DMSO solution using TD-B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations. Similarly, the 1H NMR chemical shifts were also estimated using GIAO approach implementing PCM including solvent effects (DMSO-d6). Conclusion: Proper interpretations of the observed electronic transition, chemical shifts, IR and Raman bands were presented in this study.

Synthesis of zinc(II)/cadmium(II)/mercury(II) thiocyanate and azide complexes of a new bidentate Schiff-base ligand (L) with general formula of MLX2(M = Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II)) in ethanol solution at room temperature is reported. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-visible), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR),1H- and13C-NMR spectroscopy and physical characterization, CHN analysis, and molar conductivity.1H- and13C-NMR spectra have been studied in DMSO-d6. The reasonable shifts of FT-IR and NMR spectral signals of the complexes with respect to the free ligand confirm well coordination of Schiff-base ligand and anions in an inner sphere coordination space. The conductivity measurements as well as spectral data indicated that the complexes are nonelectrolyte. Theoretical optimization on the structure of ligand and its complexes was performed at the Becke’s three-parameter hybrid functional (B3) with the nonlocal correlation of Lee-Yang-Parr (LYP) level of theory with double-zeta valence (LANL2DZ) basis set using GAUSSIAN 03 suite of program, and then some theoretical structural parameters such as bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles were obtained. Finally, electrochemical behavior of ligand and its complexes was investigated. Cyclic voltammograms of metal complexes showed considerable changes with respect to free ligand.

The molecular structures, conformational stabilities, and infrared vibrational wavenumbers of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 3-thiophenecarboxaldehyde are computed using Becke-3—Lee—Yang—Parr (B3LYP) with the 6-311++G** basis set. From the computations, cis-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde is found to be more stable than the transfer conformer with an energy difference of 1.22 kcal/mol, while trans-3-thiophenecarboxaldehyde is found to be more stable than the cis conformer by 0.89 kcal/mol. The computed dipole moments, structural parameters, relative stabilities of the conformers and infrared vibrational wavenumbers of the two molecules coherently support the experimental data in the literature. The normal vibrational wavenumbers are characterized in terms of the potential energy distribution using the VEDA4 program. The effect of solvents on the conformational stability of the molecules in nine different solvents is investigated using the polarizable continuum model.

Molecular structure and vibrational spectra of acetone, acetone-d3, and acetone-d6were investigated by means of ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies of the acetone isotopomers were calculated at the B3LYP (using the 6–311++G(3df,3pd) basis set) and B2PLYP (using the 6–31+(2d,p) and 6–311G(2df,p) basis sets) levels. The calculated frequencies and the Raman and infrared (IR) intensities were compared with the experimental results. Excellent agreement between calculated and observed vibrational wavenumbers was obtained. Additionally, a normal coordinate analysis (NCA) was also done by using the normal mode eigenvectors obtained at the B3LYP/6–311++G(3df,3pd) level. All fundamental vibrational bands were assigned to the normal modes with the aid of the potential energy distribution (PED) values obtained from normal coordinate calculations. To study the internal rotation of CH3groups, single CH3rotation and synchronous rotations of both CH3groups (clockwise–clockwise and clockwise–counterclockwise) were analyzed using the MP2/6–311++G(3df,2pd) and B3LYP/6–311++G(3df,2pd) levels.

Abstract The structural parameters of closo-[B6H5F]2- with C4v symmetry have been determined by MP2/6-31G* optimization. They reveal typical B-F and B-B bond lenghts of 143.4 and 172.5 -173.9 pm, respectively. A frequency analysis at the same theoretical level has been performed. The vibrational spectra of [B6H5F]2- labelled with 10B, 11B and D have been additionally assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field using the ab initio structure parameters. With a set of 10 force constants (e.g. fd(BB)=1.92, fd(BF)=5.25 mdyn/Å) a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies can be achieved. The results correspond with the scaled (Fscale=0.97) ab initio frequencies and assignments.

Using the X-ray crystal geometry as input, the 13C NMR chemical shifts of benzo-9-crown-3 ether have been calculated via ab initio methods using a localized orbital local origin (LORG) approach. Reasonable agreement is found between the calculated values for an isolated molecule in the gas phase and those obtained in the 13C CPMAS NMR spectrum. Solid phase 13C spectra of the C7,10-d4 derivative confirm the existence of a 7.9 ppm shift difference between these sites in the solid, whereas in solution they are conformationally averaged to one resonance. The effects of C—H bond length variation on calculated 13C shifts have been explored.
