AbstractWe investigated the adsorption properties of HCN on dianiline (as a model for polyaniline, denoted here as 2PANI) using density functional theory (DFT) by considering the geometry as well as the electronic property. Contact information of 2PANI with HCN at different configurations was studied and the adsorption energy was calculated in each case. UV-vis analysis, density of states (DOS) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis were used to study the interaction of HCN with 2PANI at different configurations. Our calculations showed that HCN could be adsorbed on 2PANI with adsorption energy of ∼ −4.3 kcal mol

We interrogate a type of heterolytic fragmentation called a ‘divergent fragmentation’ using density functional theory (DFT), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and external electric field (EEF) calculations.

Using density functional theory, we investigate the adsorption properties of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) on the outer surfaces of a (10,0) carbon nanotube (CNT) and a (8,0) triazine-based graphitic carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT).

Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, hybrid density functional theory (hybrid DFT: B3LYP/6-311+G**//B3LYP/6-311+G**), and ab initio molecular orbital (MO: MP2/6-311+G**//B3LYP/6-311+G**) based methods were used to study the electronic delocalization energy (DE), dipole–dipole interactions, and steric repulsions on the conformational properties of 5-methyl-5-aza-1,3-dioxacyclohexane (1) (-phospha- (2), -arsena- (3)), 5-methyl-5-aza-1,3-dithiacyclohexane (4) (-phospha- (5), -arsena- (6)), and 5-methyl-5-aza-1,3-diselenacyclohexane (7) (-phospha- (8), -arsena- (9)). The MP2/6-311+G**//B3LYP/6-311+G** and B3LYP/6-311+G**//B3LYP/6-311+G** results revealed that the axial stereoisomers of compounds 1–9 are more stable than their equatorial stereoisomers. In this regard, the obtained results showed an egregious axial preference for compounds 1, 4, and 7. Importantly, the results showed that the energy differences between the axial and equatorial stereoisomers decrease from compounds 1 → 3, 4 → 6, and also, 7 → 9. The NBO analysis of donor–acceptor interactions revealed that the calculated DE for compounds 1–3 are –21.50, –7.84, and –4.38 kcal mol–1, respectively. The decrease of the calculated DE values from compound 1 to compound 3 could reasonably explain the decrease of the energy differences between the axial and equatorial stereoisomers from compound 1 to compound 3. The correlation between the DE, dipole–dipole interactions, structural parameters, and conformational behaviors of compounds 1–9 has been investigated.

In this paper, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, nonlinear optical and the thermodynamic properties of 10-Acetyl-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide have been analyzed by employing density functional theory level employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. NBO analysis reveals that the intra- intermolecular charge transfer occurs within the molecule leading to the stabilization. The predicted nonlinear optical properties (NLO) like; polarizability and first hyperpolarizabiliy support that the molecule could attract the interests for future investigation.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 131-139

Electronic and geometric structures of Ca(II) and Zn(II) complexes with porphyrazine (Pz) and tetrakis(1,2,5-thiadiazole)porphyrazine (TTDPz) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and compared. The perimeter of the coordination cavity was found to be practically independent on the nature of a metal and a ligand. According to the results of the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) calculations, Ca–N bonds possess larger ionic contributions as compared to Zn–N. The model electronic absorption spectra obtained with the use of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations indicate a strong bathochromic shift (~70 nm) of the Q-band with a change of Pz ligand by TTDPz for both Ca and Zn complexes. Additionally, CaTTDPz was synthesized and its electronic absorption spectrum was recorded in pyridine and acetone.

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).
