In this work, through computational study based on density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) using basis set 6-31G (d,p) a number of global and local reactivity descriptors for a series of molecules containing a TTF function which are bis (1,4-dithiafulvalene) derivatives. They were computed to predict the reactivity and the reactive sites on the molecules. The molecular geometry and the electronic properties in the ground state such as frontier molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO), ionization potential (I) and electron affinity (A) were investigated to get a better insight of the molecular properties. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) for all compounds were determined to check their electrophilic or nucleophilic reactivity. Fukui index, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, second order NLO property and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses have also employed to determine the reactivity of bis (1,4-dithiafulvalene) derivatives.

Indanone and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds are considered as special structures in therapeutic science and explicitly associated with various biologically potent compounds. In the present disclosure, we report the synthesis of two new 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran tethered arylidene indanones via an environmentally adequate and viable protocol. The two compounds revealed in this have been characterized well by analytical methods; proton magnetic resonance (PMR), carbon magnetic resonance (CMR). The Density Functional Theory (DFT) study has been presented for the spectroscopic, structural and quantum correlation between (E)-2-((2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)methylene)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (DBDI) and (E)-7-((2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)methylene)-1,2,6,7-tetrahydro-8H-indeno[5,4-b]furan-8-one (DBTI). Optimized geometry, frontier molecular orbital, global reactivity descriptors, and thermodynamic parameters have been computed for DBDI and DBTI. DFT/B3LYP method using basis set 6-311++G (d,p) has been employed for the computational study. Mulliken atomic charges are established by using 6-311G (d,p) basis set. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential for DBDI and DBTI is also explored to locate the electrophilic and nucleophilic centres.

The ortho-CF3 substituent and the N-H bond are in syn-conformation in N-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]succinamic acid. In amide and acid functionalities, the carbonyl groups are directed in opposite directions to each other and their related-CH2 groups. syn-Conformation is observed for the acid functionality, where the carbonyl C=O and hydroxyl O-H bonds are directed in the same direction. Three planar fragments comprise of the molecule: aromatic ring (A), core portion -Carm-N(H)-C(=O)-C(H2)-C(H2)(B) and -C(H2)-C(=O)-OH(C). The dihedral angle between a pair of fragments being 48.6(4)º (A and B), 81.6 (4)º (B and C) and 70.5 (5)º (A and C). N-H•••O hydrogen bonds bind the molecules forming C(4) chains in the crystal, and the neighbouring anti-parallel chains are bound by O-H•••O hydrogen bonds resulting in a chair shaped ribbon of one-dimensional nature. The Hirshfeld surface study was carried out, including fingerprint plots. Studies have shown that the interactions with O•••H/H•••O (27.4%), H•••H (27.3%) and H•••F/F•••H (20.2%) substantially added to the surface. Theoretically, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and various global reactivity descriptors were also computed by the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) approach with a 6-311G(d, p) basis set in the ground state on the geometrically optimized structure in the gas phase.

The density functional theory (at the B3LYP level using 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set) was used for the investigation of the geometry and electronic properties of the carvone. The electronic properties and chemical activity of the titled compound were investigated by means of several theoretical approaches, molecular electrostatic potential surface, natural bond orbital, and frontier molecular orbital analyses. It was established that the oxygen atom in the structure characterized the electrophilic reactivity; the positive regions are localized on the hydrogen atoms, which can be considered as possible sites for nucleophilic attack. A detailed analysis of the intermolecular interactions via Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots revealed that the carvone structure is stabilized mainly by the formation of O. . .H/H. . .O hydrogen bonds. However, close contacts were established between C. . .H/H. . .C and H. . .H contacts.

This study aims to explore the effects of solvent polarity on the geometry, energy of solvation, dipole moment, polarizability, charge distribution, frontier molecular orbital analysis, and global, local, and dual descriptors for β Carboline. The effects of eight solvents were treated using a conductor-like polarized continuum model. Density Functional Theory calculations were performed at B3LYP level at 6-311++g (d,p) basis set. The computed results showed that the dipole moment, polarizability, the solvation free energy, and atomic charge of β Carboline increased with the increasing polarity of the solvent. Also, the solvation modified the values of the reactivity descriptors as a result of the interaction between the solvent and β Carboline. The dual descriptor provided a clearer difference between electrophilic and nucleophilic attack at specific atomic site than presented by Fukui functions of β Carboline.

n the current investigation, we wish to report a combined study on the theoretical and experimental investigation of structural, molecular, and spectral properties of ethyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (EDMT). The EDMT molecule is synthesized and characterized by UV-Visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT, and mass spectral techniques. The density functional theory (DFT) investigation was performed by using the B3LYP level of theory at 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis is likewise examined. An TD-DFT method was used for the UV-Visible spectral analysis by using the B3LYP level and 6-311++G (d,p) basis set in the DMSO solvent. Experimental and theoretical UV-Visible spectra were compared in the present study. Various reactivity descriptors are discussed. Besides, Mulliken atomic charges, molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP), and some valuable thermodynamic functions are studied.

: Gallic acid is abundantly found in amla (Phyllanthus emblica), a deciduous of the family phyllanthaceae. Gallic acid, the major constituent of the plant was methylated to 3,4,5 trimethoxy gallic acid, which then underwent steglich esterification first with paracetamol and then with 4-hydroxy acetophenone to yield 4-acetamidophenyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate and 4-acetyl phenyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate “respectively”. 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV, FT-IR and mass spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesized compounds. Density functional theory (B3YLP) using 6-31G (d,p) basis set have been used for quantum chemical calculations. AIM (Atom in molecule) approach depicted weak molecular interactions within the molecules whereas the reactive site and reactivity within the molecule were examined by global and local reactivity descriptors. The HOMO and LUMO energies and frontier orbital energy gap were calculated by time dependant DFT approach using IEFPCM model. Small value for HOMO–LUMO energy gap indicated that easier charge transfer occurs within compound 4. The nucleophilic and electrophilic reactivity were determined by MEP (molecular electrostatic potential) experiment. Polarizability, dipole moment, and first hyperpolarizability values were calculated to depict the NLO (nonlinear optical) property of both the synthesized compounds. The antimicrobial activity was also carried out and broad spectrum antibacterial activity against several strains of bacteria and certain unicellular fungi were exhibited by synthesized compound 3.

In this work, a comprehensive investigation of the salicylideneaniline derivatives is carried out using density functional theory to determine their linear and non-linear optical properties. Geometry optimizations, for gas and solvent phases, of the tautomers (enol and keto forms) are calculated using B3LYP levels with 6–31G (d,p) basis set . An intramolecular proton transfer, for 1SA-E and 2SA-E, is performed by a PES scan process at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level. The optical properties are determined and show that they have extremely high nonlinear optical properties. In addition, the RDG analysis, MEP, and gap energy are calculated. The low energy gap value indicates the possibility of intramolecular charge transfer. The frontier molecular orbital calculations clearly show the inverse relationship of HOMO–LUMO gap with the first-order hyperpolarizability (β = 59.6471 × 10-30 esu), confirming that the salicylideneaniline derivatives can be used as attractive future NLO materials. Therefore, the reactive sites are predicted using MEP and the visible absorption maxima are analyzed using a theoretical UV–Vis spectrum. Natural bond orbitals are used to investigate the stability, charge delocalization, and intramolecular hydrogen bond.

Tetrathiafulvalene () is an organosulfur compound used in the production of molecular devices such as switches, sensors, nonlinear optical devices and rectifiers. In this work, a theoretical study on the effects of solvent on TTF molecule was investigated and reported based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) as implemented in Gaussian 03 package using B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) basis set. Different solvents were introduced as a bridge to investigate their effects on the electronic structure. The HUMO, LUMO, energy gap, global chemical index, thermodynamic properties, NLO and DOS analysis of the TTF molecule in order to determine the reactivity and stability of the molecule were obtained. The results obtained showed that the solvents have effects on the electronic and non-linear-optical properties of the molecule. The optimized bond length revealed that the molecule has strong bond in gas phase with smallest bond length of about 1.0834Å than in the rest of the solvents. It was observed that the molecule is more stable in acetonitrile with HOMO-LUMO gap and chemical hardness of 3.6373eV and 1.8187eV respectively. This indicates that the energy gap and chemical hardness of TTF molecule increases with the increase in polarity and dielectric constant of the solvents. The computed results agreed with the results in the literature. The thermodynamics and NLO properties calculation also indicated that TTF molecule has highest value of specific heat capacity (Cv), total dipole moment () and first order hyperpolarizability () in acetonitrile, while acetone has the highest value of entropy and toluene has a slightly higher value of zero point vibrational energy (ZPVE) than the rest of the solvents. The results show that careful selection of the solvents and basis sets can tune the frontier molecular orbital energy gap of the molecule and can be used for molecular device applications.
