IR and Raman spectra of selenophene and of its perdeuterated isotopomer have been obtained in gas phase through density-functional theory (DFT) computations. Vibrational wavenumbers have been calculated using harmonic and anharmonic second-order perturbation theory (PT2) procedures with the B3LYP method and the 6-311 basis set. Anharmonic overtones have been determined by means of the PT2 method. The introduction of anharmonic terms decreases the harmonic wavenumbers, giving a significantly better agreement with the experimental data. The most significant anharmonic effects occur for the C–H and C–D stretching modes, the observed H/D isotopic wavenumber redshifts being satisfactorily reproduced by the PT2 computations within 6–20 cm−1(1–3%). In the spectral region between 500 cm−1and 1500 cm−1, the IR spectra are dominated by the out-of-plane C–H (C–D) bending transition, whereas the Raman spectra are mainly characterized by a strong peak mainly attributed to the C=C + C–C bonds stretching vibration with the contribution of the in-plane C–H (C–D) bending deformation. The current results confirm that the PT2 approach combined with the B3LYP/6-311 level of calculation is a satisfactory choice for predicting vibrational spectra of cyclic molecules.

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.

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.

We have synthesized and characterized a series of carbothioamide derivatived molecules, obtained by reaction of aromatic aldehyde (Anisaldehyde, 9-anthraldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, indole-3-carboxaldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde and o-vanillin) with an equimolar amount of 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide with microwave irradiation. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Quantum calculations of the physical properties, based on density functional theory method at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory, were performed, by means of the Gaussian 09W set of programs. The theoretical 1H NMR chemical shift results of the studied compounds have been calculated at B3LYP method and standard 6-31+G(d,p) basis set using the standard Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital approach. The calculated values are also compared with the experimental data available for these molecules. A good linear relationship between the experimental and calculated data has been obtained.

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 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.

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.
