AbstractThe crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses are reported for four aldoximes, (E)-X–C6H4CH=N–OH [X = 3-Cl (1), 4-F (2), 2-O2N (3) and 4-O2N (4)]. The strong classical O–H · · · N hydrogen bonds involving the oxime group generate C(3) chains in compound 1, in contrast to the R22(6) dimers formed in compounds 2–4; such arrangements have been shown to be the most frequently found for oximes other than salicylaldoximes (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde oximes). In general, weaker intermolecular interactions involving the X substituents, as well as C–H · · · O and π · · · π interactions have significant effects on the supramolecular arrays generated in the aggegation. A further important interaction in compound 1, and to a lesser extent in compound 4, is a π(C=N) · · · π(phenyl) molecular stacking. A data base search has indicated that short Cg(C=N) · · · Cg(phenyl) distances, <3.3 Å (Cg = centre of gravity), have been found in various compounds, including other oximes. A theoretical study was carried out starting from the crystal structure data of compound 1, with optimisation at the BLYP-D3/def2-DZVP level, as well as at the higher PBE0/ma-def2-TZVP level. Breakdown of the interaction energy into separate contributions was achieved using SAPT (using the jun-cc-pvdz basis set). Overall, the calculations indicate that the π(C=N) ·· · π(phenyl) interaction is attractive, with a magnitude of 14–18 kJ mol−1.

The paper presents six homologues series of Schiff bases ether compounds distinguished by the length of terminal alkoxy groups which substituted on a side benzene nucleus. The above structures were demonstrated through the use of spectroscopic techniques, like FT- IR and 1H-NMR. Polarized hot stage optical microscopy was used to study both mesomorphic properties and phase transitions. The results showed that out of the six compounds only three (B2, B3 and B4) were pure (marble) nematic mesophase, while no liquid crystal properties for (B5, B6 and B7) compounds. The theoretical study for the electronic structures was intended to study the effects of alkyl chain length on the electronic structure by using Gaussian program, DFT and 6-31G as basis set. The theoretical results indicate that there is no effect to the terminal substituted alkoxy groups on the HOMO energies but there is an effect on LUMO energies through decreasing energy for the prepared compounds.

We report the results obtained for the experimental determination and the theoretical calculation of the enthalpy of formation of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetroxane molecule. The experimental work was performed using a macrocalorimeter to measure the combustion heat, and the sublimation enthalpy was determined via the measurement of the vapor pressure at equilibrium with the vapor phase at different temperatures resorting to the Clapeyron-Claussius equation. Theoretical calculations were performed using semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods as well asab initiotechniques at the 3-21, 6-31G(d,p), and 6-311G(d,p) basis set levels.

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.

The title compound [systematic name: 2-(N-hydroxyimino)-1,2-diphenylethanol], C14H13NO2, consists of hydroxy phenylacetophenone and oxime units, in which the phenyl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 80.54 (7)°. In the crystal, intermolecular O—HOxm...NOxm, O—HHydr...OHydr, O—H′Hydr...OHydr and O—HOxm...OHydr hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the c-axis direction. π–π contacts between inversion-related of the phenyl ring adjacent to the oxime group have a centroid–centroid separation of 3.904 (3) Å and a weak C—H...π(ring) interaction is also observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (58.4%) and H...C/C...H (26.4%) contacts. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals contacts are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.

In the title molecule, C13H16N4O3, the mean planes of the phenyl and triazole rings are nearly perpendicular to one another as a result of the intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...π(ring) interactions. In the crystal, layers parallel to (101) are generated by O—H...N, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected by inversion-related pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The experimental molecular structure is close to the gas-phase geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important interaction involving hydrogen in the title compound is the H...H contact. The contribution of the H...O, H...N, and H...H contacts are 13.6, 16.1, and 54.6%, respectively.
