In this work, the quantum computations of newly synthesized N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)picolinamide (4-HPP) is focused. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to perform the quantum calculations. The optimized molecular geometry was obtained using the B3LYP and MP2 methods employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, which served as the foundation for all subsequent calculations. The experimental data was compared with the calculated vibrational frequencies and NMR spectra. With the use of the molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEP) and the Fukui functions, the charge distribution, reactive regions and electrostatic potential were displayed. The chemical activity of the 4-HPP was evaluated by the energy difference between HOMO and LUMO. For better understanding of the intermolecular charge transfer (ICT), natural bond order analysis (NBO) was used. At various temperatures, thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb’s free energy, enthalpy and entropy were determined. The electrophilicity index was used to portray the molecule’s bioactivity and molecular docking was used to show the interaction between the ligand and the protein. The nature of the molecule was determined by drug similarity when expecting its application for medical purposes.

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 10H-dibenzo[b,e][2,4]oxazine was calculated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) using 6-311G (d,p) basis set. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of title compound were interpreted by comparing the experimental results with the theoretical B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) calculations. The experimental observed vibrational frequencies are compared with the calculated vibrational frequencies and they are in good agreement with each other. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis interprets the intramolecular contacts of title molecule. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical movements of the particle have been determined by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) strategy and contrasted with the experimental outcome.

The molecular spectroscopic investigations of (E)-2-(3-pentyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-ylidene)-N-phenylhydrazine carbothioamide (3-PDPPPHC) are studied. The FT-IR and FT-Raman experimental spectra of the molecule have been recorded in the range of 4000–400 cm−1 and 4000–50 cm−1, respectively. The molecular structure, fundamental vibrational frequencies, and intensities of the vibrational bands were interpreted to aid structure optimizations based on the density functional theory (DFT) method with B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of basis set. The complete vibrational assignments of wavenumbers were made based on total energy distribution (TED).

The molecular vibrations of Trichloro isocyanuric acid (C3Cl3N3O3) and Trithio cyanuric acid (C3H3N3S3) have been investigated in polycrystalline sample at room temperature by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and FT-Raman spectroscopies in the region 4000-450 cm-1 and 4000-50 cm-1 respectively, which provide a wealth of structural information about the molecules. The spectra are interpreted with the aid of normal co-ordinate analysis following full structure optimization and force field calculations based on density functional theory   (DFT) using standard B3LYP / 6-311++ G (d, p) basis set for investigating the structural and spectroscopic properties. The vibrational frequencies are calculated and the scaled values are compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The scaled theoretical wave numbers shows very good agreement with experimental ones. The complete vibrational assignments are performed on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) of vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum (SQM) method. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The results show that change in electron density (ED) in σ* and π* anti-bonding orbitals and second order delocalization   energy (E2) confirm the occurrence of Intra molecular Charge Transfer (ICT) within the molecule. The thermodynamic properties like heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy and zero point energy have been calculated for the molecule. The frontier molecular orbitals have been visualized and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been calculated. The Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) analysis reveals the sites for electrophilic attack and nucleophilic reactions in the molecule.

In this work, the interaction of C 20 with N 2 X 2 ( X = H , F , Cl , Br , Me ) molecules has been explored using the B3LYP, M062x methods and 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets. The interaction energies (IEs) obtained with standard method were corrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules at the same levels of theory. It was found C 20… N 2 H 2 interaction is stronger than the interaction of other N 2 X 2 ( X = F , Cl , Br , Me ) with C 20. Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO, respectively) levels are illustrated by density of states spectra (DOS). The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICSs) confirm that C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules exhibit aromatic characteristics. Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform NBO analysis. Also, 14 N NQR parameters of the C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules are predicted.
