The computational Quantum Chemistry (QC) has been used for different types of problems, for example: structural biology, surface phenomena and liquid phase. In this paper we have employed the density functional method for the study of molecular structure of loganin. The equilibrium geometry, harmonic vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities were calculated by B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) method and basis set combinations. It was found that the optimized parameters obtained by the DFT/B3LYP method are very near to the experimental ones. A detailed conformational analysis was carried out. A detailed interpretation of the infrared spectra of loganin is also reported in the present work. The FT-IR spectra of loganin were recorded in solid phase. The thermodynamic calculations related to the title compound were also performed at B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level of theory.

An FT-IR spectrum of trimethylphenyl ammonium chloride (TMPAC) has been recorded in the region 4000 - 400 cm−1. The optimized geometry and vibrational spectrum TMPAC in the ground state have been calculated by using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations and the density functional method B3LYP with the 6-31G (d) basis set. The obtained vibrational frequencies and optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) were in very good agreement with the experimental data. The comparison of the observed and calculated results for the vibrational frequencies of TMPAC exhibited that the scaled B3LYP method is superior compared to the scaled HF method. Furthermore the calculated infrared and Raman intensities are also reported.

The possible stable conformers of 1-pentylamine (1-pa) molecule were experimentally and theoretically studied by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy in the region of 4000–400 cm-1. The optimized geometric structures concerning the minimum on the potential energy surface were investigated by Becke-3–Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) density functional method together with 6-31G(d) basis set. Based on the energy calculations, 10 possible rotamers of 1-pa (TT, TG, GT, GT1, GG1, GG2, GG3, GG4, GG5 and GG6; T and G denote trans and gauge, respectively) were proposed. Optimized energies of the possible conformers were obtained in the gas phase and within the chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methanol and water solvent environments all of which have different polarities. Comparison between the experimental and theoretical results based on the correlation graphics and mean absolute error calculations presented in this study indicates that density functional B3LYP method is able to provide satisfactory results for predicting vibrational wavenumbers and TT isomer is the most stable form of 1-pa molecule.

We report a theoretical study on molecular structure, vibrational spectra, nonlinear optical (NLO), and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of sarcosine-maleic acid (C7H11NO6) in the ground state calculated by using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional method (DFT/B3LYP) with 6–31++G(d,p) basis set. We repeat NBO calculations with 6–31G(d,p) basis set so as to see the diffuse function impact on NBO analysis. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions and charge delocalization has been analyzed using NBO analysis. NBO analysis shows that there is a O–H⋯O and N–H⋯O hydrogen bond in the title compound, which is consistent with the conclusion obtained by the analysis of molecular structure. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Also, these results are supported by the NLO parameters. Finally, the calculated results were applied to simulate infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound which showed good agreement with experimental ones.

<div> <div> <div> <p>We present an origin-invariant approach to compute the full optical rotation tensor (Buckingham/Dunn tensor) in the length dipole gauge without recourse to London atomic orbitals, called LG(OI). The LG(OI) approach is simpler and less computationally demanding than the more common LG-London and modified velocity gauge (MVG) approaches and it can be used with any approximate wave function or density functional method. We report an implementation at coupled cluster with single and double excitations level (CCSD), for which we present the first simulations of the origin-invariant Buckingham/Dunn tensor in the length gauge. With this method, we attempt to decouple the effects of electron correlation and basis set incompleteness on the choice of gauge for optical rotation calculations on simple test systems. The simulations show a smooth convergence of the LG(OI) and MVG results with the basis set size towards the complete basis set limit. However, these preliminary results indicate that CCSD may not be close to a complete description of the electron correlation effects on this property even for small molecules, and that basis set incompleteness may be a less important cause of discrepancy between choices of gauge than electron correlation incompleteness. </p> </div> </div> </div>
