The aim of this work is to explore the adsorption process of an organic pollutant the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol on the clay mineral (kaolinite) surface in order to identify the sites of adsorption as well as conformations corresponding to the lowest energies. Ab-initio calculations have been used to investigate the adsorption process using a representative cluster model. According to the results obtained on the various studied models, the orientation of TCP on the surfaces clay affect the parameters such as : HOMO-LUMO energy gap, the enthalpy change (ΔH), the thermal Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and entropy contribution (ΔS). The results point out a preferential adsorption of TCP on the octahedral surface and the NBO analysis indicates that the electron donor-acceptor complex was the dominant adsorption mechanism.

In this work, to determine natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, solvation and substituent effects for electron-releasing substituents (CH3, OH) and electron-withdrawing derivatives (Cl, NO2, CF3) in para positions on the molecular structure of the synthesized 3-phenylbenzo[d]thiazole-2(3H)-imine derivatives 1?6 (H (1), CH3 (2), Cl (3), OH (4), CF3 (5), NO2 (6)) in the selected solvents (acetone, toluene, and ethanol) and gas-phase employing polarizable continuum method (PCM) model were studied at the M06-2x/6- -311++G(d,p) level of theory. The relative stability of the studied compounds was affected by the possibility of intramolecular interactions between substituents and the electron donor/acceptor centers of the thiazole ring. Furthermore, atomic charges electron density, chemical thermodynamics, energetic properties, dipole moments, and the nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) of the studied compounds and their relative stability are considered. The dipole moment values and the HOMO?LUMO energy gap reveal the different charge transfer possibilities within the considered molecules. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis revealed that compound 6 has very small HOMO-LUMO energy gaps in the considered phases, and thus is kinetically less stable. The obtained HOMO-LUMO energy gap corresponds to intramolecular hyperconjugative interactions ?? ?*. Finally, NBO analysis is carried out to demonstrate the charge transfer between localized bonds and lone pairs.

The structural and energetic properties of polyfluorene and its derivatives were investigated, using quantum chemical calculations. Conformational analysis of bifluorene was performed by using ab initio (HF/6-31G* and MP2/6-31G*) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G*) calculations. The results showed that the local energy minimum of bifluorene lies between the coplanar and perpendicular conformation, and the B3LYP/6-31G* calculations led to the overestimation of the stability of the planar pi systems. The HOMO-LUMO energy differences of fluorene oligomers and its derivatives — 9,9-dihexylfluorene (DHPF), 9,9-dioctylfluorene (PFO), and bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene (BEHPF) — were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. Energy gaps and effective conjugation lengths of the corresponding polymers were obtained by extrapolating HOMO-LUMO energy differences and the lowest excitation energies to infinite chain length. The lowest excitation energies and the maximum absorption wavelength of polyfluorene were also performed, employing the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and ZINDO methods. The extrapolations, based on TDDFT and ZINDO calculations, agree well with experimental results. These theoretical methods can be useful for the design of new polymeric structures with a reducing energy gap.

The title compound, C31H30N2S2O6, possesses crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry with the two C atoms of the central benzene ring and the C atom of its methyl substituent lying on the twofold rotation axis. The two dansyl groups are twisted away from the plane of methylphenyl bridging unit in opposite directions. The three-dimensional arrangement in the crystal is mainly stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds between the sulfonyl oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms from the N-methyl groups. Stacking of the dansyl group is not observed. From the DFT calculations, the HOMO–LUMO energy gap was found to be 2.99 eV and indicates n→π* and π→π* transitions within the molecule.

Pyrene (C16H10) is an organic semiconductor which has wide applications in the field of organic electronics suitable for the development of organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPV). In this work, Density Functional Theory (DFT) using Becke’s three and Lee Yang Parr (B3LYP) functional with basis set 6-311++G(d, p) implemented in Gaussian 03 package was  used to compute total energy, bond parameters, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, electron affinity, ionization potential, chemical reactivity descriptors, dipole moment, isotropic polarizability (α), anisotropy of polarizability ( Δ∝) total first order hyper-polarizability () and second order hyperpolarizability (). The molecules used are pyrene, 1-chloropyrene and 4-chloropyrene  in gas phase and in five different solvents: benzene, chloroform, acetone, DMSO and water. The results obtained show that solvents and chlorination actually influenced the properties of the molecules. The isolated pyrene in acetone has the largest value of HOMO-LUMO energy gap of and is a bit closer to a previously reported experimental value of  and hence is the most stable. Thus, the pyrene molecule has more kinetic stability and can be described as low reactive molecule. The calculated dipole moments are in the order of 4-chloropyrene (1.7645 D) < 1-chloropyrene (1.9663 D) in gas phase. The anisotropy of polarizability ( for pyrene and its derivatives were found to increase with increasing polarity of the solvents.  In a nutshell, the molecules will be promising for organic optoelectronic devices based on their computed properties as reported by this work.

An efficient synthesis of novel 2,3,4-trisubstituted 1,5-benzothiazepines (4a-e) incorporating the sulfonyl group is described. Compound (4a-e) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-(1,4-dioxane-6-sulfonyl)-2,4-dimethyl/4-methyl-2-phenyl/2,4-diphenyl/2-ethoxy-4-methyl/2,4-diethoxy propane-1,3-dione (3ae) with 2-aminobenzenethiol with ZnOnanoparticles/pyridine. Formation of compound (3a-e) was achieved by the reaction of 1,4-dioxane-6-sulfonyl chloride (1) with 2,4-dimethyl/4-methyl-2-phenyl/2,4-diphenyl/2-ethoxy-4-methyl/2,4-diethoxy propane-1,3-dione (2a-e). The benzothiazepines (4a-e) obtained were purified by column chromatography (benzene: CHCl3, 40:60, 30:70, 20:80, 10:90) and crystallized from methanol. The purity of the compounds was checked by TLC using (CHCl3: CH3OH, 9:1) as the mobile phase. The structure of the compounds has been established by elemental, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectral analyses. Frontier molecular orbitals of the title compounds have been studied in the ground state speculatively. The reactivity of a molecule using diverse descriptors such as softness, electrophilicity, electronegativity, HOMO-LUMO energy gap is calculated additionally discussed.
