Substituted Cyclopropanes

The hydroboration of substituted cyclopropanes has been investigated using the B3LYP density functional method employing 6-31G** basis set. Borane moiety approaching the cyclopropane ring has been reported. It is shown that the reaction proceeds via a three-centered, “loose” and “tight,” transition states when boron added to the cyclopropane across a bond to a substituents. Single point calculations at higher levels of theory were also performed at the geometries optimized at the B3LYP level, but only slight changes in the barriers were observed. Structural parameters for the transition state are also reported.

Good Agreement

Density functional method was applied to the study of the highly efficient primary explosive 2-diazo-4,6-dinitrophenol (DDNP) in both gaseous tautomers and its bulk state. Two stable tautomers were located. It was found that the structure (I) with open diazo, i.e. with linear CNN, is more stable than that with diazo ring tautomer (II) of DDNP. The structure I is in good agreement with the structure in the bulk. The lattice energy is -89.01 kJ/mol, and this value drops to -83.29 kJ/mol when a 50% correction of the basis set superposition error was adopted. The frontier bands are quite flat. The carbon atoms in DDNP make up the upper valence bands. While the lower conduction bands mainly consist of carbon and diazo N atoms. The bond populations of C–N bonds (both C–Nitro and C–Diazo) are much less than those of the other bonds and the detonation may be initiated through the breakdown of C–N bonds.

The Density Functional Theory

Within the framework of the density functional theory, the method was developed to calculate the band gap of semiconductors. We have evaluated the band gap for a number of monoatomic and diatomic semiconductors (Sn, Ge, Si, SiC, GaN, C, BN, AlN). The method gives the band gap of almost experimental accuracy. An important point is the fact that the developed method can be used to calculate both localized states (energy deep levels of defects in crystal), and electronic properties of nanostructures.

In these study we have been obtained the structural properties of (exTTF) derivatives 1-4 by using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) of Density Functional Theory (DFT) utilizing Becke three exchange functional and Lee Yang Paar correlation functional. The calculation of first hyperpolarizability shows that the molecules are attractive molecules for future applications in non-linear optics. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) at a point in the space around a molecule gives an indication of the net electrostatic effect produced at that point by the total charge distribution of the molecule. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within these molecules.

<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>

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 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.

In this work, we have investigated the adsorption behavior of the CN radicals on electronic properties of BC2N nanotube (BC2NNT) by means of the B3LYP hybrid density functional method using 6-31G(d) basis set. The results show that CN radicals can be chemically adsorbed on the nanotube. Based on the energy analysis, the most stable position of CN radical on the nanotube is C1 site. Also, the C-side complexes are more stable than the N-side complexes. We investigated the effects of CN radicals adsorption on the electronic properties of the BC2N nanotube. According to our calculations, band gap energy of the BC2NNT decreases with increasing the number of CN radicals. It is predicted that the conductivity and reactivity of nanotube increase by increasing the number of CN radicals. Based on the NBO analysis, in all complexes charge transfer occurs from nanotube to CN radical. The AIM results show that, the Xtube…YCN interaction has covalent nature. Generally, The BC2N nanotube can be used to as sensor for nanodevice applications.

Theory Calculation

Density functional method with continuum solvation model is used for calculation of partition coefficient logKOW and determination of lipophilicity of 22 most frequently used organophosphate type pesticides. Excellent agreement with experimental data is obtained using three different density functional approximations (one local, one general gradient and one hybrid), and our result highlights DFT as a reliable and trustworthy method for calculation and of lipophilicity for this important class of molecules. Furthermore, calculated lipophilicity results are associated with experimentally determined LD50 and LC50 values, showing that the most toxic pesticides are these with transient characteristics (medium lipophilicity), although this concussion must be taken with a caution due to the many factors influencing the ingestion and action of a certain substance in the body beside lipophilicity.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

Mechanism of the reaction between Criegee compound (CH2OO) and Propargyl radical (C3H3) has been studied by using the density functional theory DFT/M06-2X in conjunction with the 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis set for both optimization and single-point energy calculations. The calculated results indicate that mechanism of the C3H3 + CH2OO reaction can occur in two different directions: H-atom abstraction and/or addition. As a result, 11 various products have been created from this reaction; in which, P10 (OCHCHCHCHO + H) is the most thermodynamically stable product and the reaction path leading to the P7 (CH2-[cyc-CCHCHOO] + H) product is the most energetically and kinetically favorable channel.
