For the first time in the present study, we studied the adsorption effect of the Solriamfetol (SOF) on the electronic and optical properties of B12N12 fullerene using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations with the M062X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in the solvent water. The calculated adsorp-tion energies of SOF drug with the B12N12 fullerene were computed at T= 298.15 K with the M062X functional. The UV/Vis absorption spectra were computed and investigated for study the significant changes happening in interactions between SOF and B12N12 fullerene. The IR spectra also were calculated and investigated. The calculated results indicate that the adsorption of the SOF drug from its internal NH2 group on the B12N12 fullerene (configuration B) has the most chemical stability rather than configuration A and C. According to the NBO results, the SOF molecule and B12N12 fullerene identify as both electrons donor and acceptor at the complexes B12N12-SOF. On the other hand, the charge transfer is occurred between the bonding, antibonding or nonbonding orbitals in the SOF drug and B12N12 fullerene. It is found that the applied B12N12 fullerene can be suitable as a drug carrier for the delivery of SOF as drug for treatment of excessive sleepiness.

Abstract The molecular structure, UV-Visible spectra, and optical properties of D-π-A conjugated organic dye molecules (Disperse Red 1 (DR1) and Disperse Red 73 (DR73)) were analyzed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and compared with Azobenzene molecule to study the effect of Donor and Acceptor substituents on the molecular properties. The performance of DFT functionals is investigated using B3LYP hybrid functional and three long-range corrected functionals (CAM-B3LYP, LC-ωPBE, and ωB97XD) in conjunction with 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Using TD-DFT, we calculate the vertical excitation energies and transition dipole moment values for 100 excited states. These values were further utilized to calculate frequency dependent polarizability under Sum-Over-States (SOS) formalism and refractive index of these molecular systems. We observe that for Azobenzene and DR1 molecules, ωB97XD predicted wavelengths corresponding to peak absorbance closest to the experimental results, while for DR73 molecule, B3LYP gave better prediction. Large polarizability response is also observed for these molecules (DR1 and DR73) in comparison to parent Azobenzene structure due to charge transfer between donor and acceptor groups. For DR1 and DR73 molecules, αxx component of polarizability dominates in contrast to azobenzene where αzz dominates. The HOMO→LUMO transition during excitation contributes to the peak molecular response in simulated UV-Visible spectra. The high polarizability response of selected D-π-A conjugated molecules in comparison to parent molecule suggests that these molecules are promising candidates for tailor-made photonic and optoelectronic device development

Objective: In the present study, the interaction between drug Tyrphostin AG528 and CNT(6,6-6) nanotube by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations in solvent water has been investigated for the first time. Methods and Results: According to the calculations, intermolecular hydrogen bonds take place between an active position of the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 and hydrogen atoms of the nanotube which play an important role in the stability of complex CNT(6,6- 6)/Tyrphostin AG528. The non-bonded interaction effects of the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 with CNT(6,6-6) nanotube on the electronic properties, chemical shift tensors and natural charge have also been detected. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis suggested that the molecule Tyrphostin AG528 as an electron donor and the CNT(6,6-6) nanotube play the role of an electron acceptor at the complex CNT(6,6-6)/Tyrphostin AG528. Conclusion: The electronic spectra of the Tyrphostin AG528 drug and complex CNT(6,6-6)/Tyrphostin AG528 in solvent water were calculated by Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) for the investigation of adsorption effect of the Tyrphostin AG528 drug over nanotube on maximum wavelength. Then, the possibility of the use of CNT(6,6-6) nanotube for Tyrphostin AG528 delivery to the diseased cells has been established.

Quantum chemical calculations using semi-empirical, ab initio, density functional theory (DFT) and Møller plesset (MP2) methods were performed on 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene S-oxide derivatives (i.e. bridged dithiophene S-oxides, BTOs). The geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of the compounds were studied. The thermodynamic parameters calculated at PM3 were in good agreement with those calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The band gap energies calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level for the BTOs were lower than the un-substituted trithiophene but higher than 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene. The absorption λmax calculated using TD-DFT was shifted to longer wavelength by successive replacement of methylene hydrogens of BTO by chlorine and fluorine atoms.

The existence of divalent bis(pentaisopropylcyclopentadienyl) actinocene compounds, An(CpiPr5)2 for An = (Th, U, Pu, Am, Bk, No, Lr), is assessed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with scalar-relativistic small core pseudopotentials. The calculations predict ground states with significant 6d occupation for Th, U, and Lr, whereas Am, Bk, and No exhibit 5f ground states. A mixed ground state with predominant 5f character is found for Pu. The complexes exhibit a linear coordination geometry and high S10 symmetry except for Pu(CpiPr5)2 and Am(CpiPr5)2, which are found to be bent by 11 and 12 degrees , respectively. Absorption spectra are simulated with time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and compared to experimental spectra of known tris(C4H4SiMe3) and tris(C5H3(SiMe3)2) compounds [M. E. Fieser et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2015, 137, 369-382] as well as recently synthesized divalent lanthanide analogs Dy(CpiPr5)2 and Tb(CpiPr5)2 [C. Gould et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2019, accepted]. Thermodynamic stability is assessed by calculation of adiabatic reduction potentials of the trivalent precursors [An(CpiPr5 )2] +, and the feasibility of further reduction to obtain as yet unknown monovalent molecular actinide complexes is discussed. <br>

The near ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum of disulfur monoxide ( S2O) has been theoretically studied by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the equation of motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles approach (EOM-CCSD) combined with the AUG-cc-PVQZ basis set. From this, analytical expressions for the absorption coefficient over the 250 - 340 nm range are reported for the first time. The computed molecular structure and the vibrational frequencies for the ground and third electronically excited state S2O (C 1Aʹ), responsible of the observed spectrum, are compared with available data.
