Simulation studies based on ab initio, semi-empirical or density functional (DFT) calculations are now becoming common among the researchers who are pursuing their intereset in theoretical chemistry. These studies are based on quantum chemical softwares. These studies provide better insight for the structural and other parameters of the compounds. The present paper includes the studies on synthesis or procurement along with the simulated IR spectra of some benzoyl derivatives of N-heterocyclic compounds viz. 2-aminopyridine, 4-aminoantipyrine, 2-aminopyrimidine or 3-aminopyridine using four different AM1, PM3, MNDO and ZINDO1 semi-empirical methods. Among the methods used for the study, AM1 method is more reliable and more accurate so far as the prediction of spectral results is concerned.

Background: Nitro-derivatives of heterocyclic compounds were used as active agents against pathogenic microorganisms. A set of 4- and 5-nitroimidazole derivatives exhibiting antimicrobial activity was analyzed with the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) method. The study included compounds used both in documented treatment and those described as experimental. Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the common and differentiating characteristics of the above-mentioned chemical compounds alike physicochemically as well as pharmacologically based on the quantum chemical calculations and microbiological activity data. Methods: During the study PCA and MLR analysis were performed, as the types of proposed chemometric approach. The semi-empirical and ab initio level of in silico molecular modeling was performed for calculations of molecular descriptors. Results: QSAR models were proposed based on chosen descriptors. The relationship between the nitro-derivatives structure and microbiological activity data was able to class and describe the antimicrobial activity with the use of statistically significant molecular descriptors. Conclusion: The applied chemometric approaches revealed the influential features of the tested structures responsible for the antimicrobial activity of studied nitro-derivatives.

In this paper, we theoretically studied the geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of bridged bithiophene S-oxide (BTO-X) derivates (with X = BH2, SiH2, S, S=O, and O) by using semi-empirical methods, ab-initio, and Density functional theory. The geometries and thermodynamic parameters calculated by PM3 were in good agreement with that of B3LYP/6-31G(d). The bandgap calculated by B3LYP/6-31G(d) ranged from 3.94eV (BTO-O)-3.16eV (BTO-BH2). The absorption λmax calculated suing B3LYP/6-31G(d) shifted to longer wavelength with X=BH2, SiH2, and S=O due to enhancement of π-conjugated system whereas, BTO-S and BTO-O shifted to shorter wavelengths as compared to dimmer thiophene S-oxide (2TO).

Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP hybrid exchange-correlation functional and 3-21G basis set and semi-empirical methods (PM3) were used to calculate the energies (total energy, binding energy (Eb), molecular orbital energy (EHOMO-ELUMO), heat of formation (?Hf)) and vibrational spectra for some Tellurium (IV) compounds containing cycloctadienyl group which can use as ligands with some transition metals or essential metals of periodic table at optimized geometrical structures.

This study examines whether the use of more accurate embedding potentials improves the convergence of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) models with respect to the size of the QM region. In conjunction with density functional theory calculations using the ωB97X-D functional, various embedding potentials including the TIP3P water model, the effective fragment potential (EFP), and semi-empirical methods (PM6, PM7, and DFTB) were used to simulate the deprotonation energies of solvated acid clusters. The calculations were performed on solvated neutral (HA) and cationic (HB+) acids clusters containing 160 and 480 water molecules using configurations sampled from molecular dynamics simulations. Consistently, the ωB97X-D/EFP model performed the best when using a minimal QM region size. The performance for the other potentials appears to be highly sensitive to the charge character of the acid/base pair. Neutral acids display the expected trend that semi-empirical methods generally perform better than TIP3P; however, an opposite trend was observed for the cationic acids. Additionally, electronic embedding provided an improvement over mechanical embedding for the cationic systems, but not the neutral acids. For the best performing ωB97X-D/EFP model, a QM region containing about 6% of the total number of solvent molecules is needed to approach within 10 kJ mol−1 of the pure QM result if the QM region was chosen based on the distance from the reaction centre.

The ionization and excitation spectra of valence and core electrons of s-triazine in the gas phase are studied with ab initio, density functional, and semi-empirical methods. The results are compared with available experimental data and previous calculations. New estimates are proposed for the ionization energies of both valence and core electrons. The calculated excitation energies are consistent with experiment.
