The present investigation informs a descriptive study of 1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) -3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one compound, by using density functional theory at B3LYP method with 6-311G** basis set. The oxygen atoms and π-system revealed a high chemical reactivity for the title compound as electron donor spots and active sites for an electrophilic attack. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), softness (S), electronegativity (χ), and electrophilicity (ω) were yielded as descriptors for the molecule’s chemical behavior. The optimized molecular structure was obtained, and the experimental data were matched with geometrical analysis values describing the molecule’s stable structure. The computed FT-IR and Raman vibrational frequencies were in good agreement with those observed experimentally. In a molecular docking study, the inhibitory potential of the studied molecule was evaluated against the penicillin-binding proteins of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The carbonyl group in the molecule was shown to play a significant role in antibacterial activity, four bonds were formed by the carbonyl group with the key protein of the bacteria (three favorable hydrogen bonds plus one van der Waals bond) out of six interactions. The strong antibacterial activity was also indicated by the calculated high binding energy (−7.40 kcal/mol).

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.

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.

The structure and spectroscopic properties of polycyclic aromatic ligands of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis (alkylthio) triphenylene (alkyl: methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl; corresponding to the abbreviations of the molecules: HMTT, HETT and HiPTT) were studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods with triple-zeta valence polarization (TZVP) basis set. It was shown that the type of functional theory used, Becke-Perdew (BP) and Leeuwen-Baerends (LB94) implemented in Amsterdam Density functional (ADF) program package, does not have essential influence on the geometry of studied compounds in both ground and excited states. However, significant differences were obtained for the band gap values with relativistic effects of the zero order regular approximation scalar corrections (ZORA) and LB94 functional seems to reproduce better the experimental optical band gap of these systems.

Five density functionals, CAM-B3LYP, LC-ωHPBE, MN12SX, N12SX, and ωB97XD, in connection with the Def2TZVP basis set were assessed together with the SMD solvation model for the calculation of the molecular properties, chemical reactivities, and solubilities of some pigments derived from astaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, fucoxanthin, myxol, siphonaxanthin, siphonein, and zeaxanthin marine carotenoids in the presence of different solvents (hexane, methanol, ethanol, and water). All the chemical reactivity descriptors for the systems were calculated via conceptual density functional theory (CDFT). Finally, the potential bioavailability and druggability as well as the bioactivity scores for the marine carotenoid pigments were predicted through different methodologies already reported in the literature, which have been previously validated during the study of other natural products obtained from marine sources.

First-principles exploration is very important to molecular design.

This has guiding significance for the design of nonlinear optical molecules and the development of coumarin-based photoelectric molecules.

We have studied how water modifies the surface of graphene and in particular how the surface conductivity of graphene is affected. According to the literature, two types of interactions should be distinguished: physical, where a water molecule remains intact and is located at some distance from the mesh, and chemical, where a water molecule is imbricated in the graphene bond structure. We have developed theoretical models for both types of interactions using the density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP hybrid functional combined with the 6-31G(d) basis set. Our calculations show that the surface conductivity of graphene is reduced in the presence of water.

Abstract In this study, we introduce nano-baits that are formed based on the binding of glucose in a silicon nanoparticle. Sila-dodecahedrane has been selected among of four other famous nanostructures, due to its high stability, biocompatibility and its ability to engineer electronic features. Because of the glucose attached to nano-baits, they are attractive to cancer cells that consume high glucose. In this research, two nano-baits have been modeled with the chemical formulas of Si20H19C6H11O6 and Si20H13(C6H11O6)7. Their optimal structures are obtained using density functional theory (DFT). For this, we use the B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-31+g(d,p) basis set. Vibration frequency calculations show that the glucose binding of a sila-dodecahedrane has a stable bond. These nano-baits with photoluminescence determine the location of cancer cells. By adjusting the number of glucoses attached to these nano-baits, the energy required for their excitation and light response can be adjusted. These nano-baits are a viable alternative to radioactive materials for locating cancer cells.
