: 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.

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.

Ab initio Hartree–Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP methods with the 6-311G(d,p) basis set were applied to the three 11-thiocyanatoundecanoic acid phenylamide derivatives as corrosion inhibitors. Inhibition efficiency obtained experimentally followed the following order: N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-11-thiocyanatoundecanamide (N3MPTUA) > N-phenyl-11-thiocyanatoundecanamide (NPTUA) > N-(3-nitrophenyl)-11-thiocyanatoundecanamide (N3NPTUA). The molecular parameters most relevant to their potential action as corrosion inhibitors have been calculated in the neutral and protonated forms: EHOMO, ELUMO, energy gap (ΔE), dipole moment (μD), electronegativity (χ), global hardness (η), and the fraction of electrons transferred from the inhibitor molecule to the metallic atom (ΔN). The results of most of the global reactivity descriptors show that the experimental and theoretical studies agree well, and confirm that N3MPTUA is a better inhibitor than NPTUA or N3NPTUA. In addition, the local reactivity, analyzed through Fukui functions, show that the oxygen and nitrogen atoms will be the main adsorption sites.

Carbodiimides have been widely used for different purposes, such as an intermediary to form peptides bonds and esters, which have generated industrial, organic and biological applications. Diisoproylcarbodiimide (DIC), (3-(dimethylamino) propyl)ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) are the most common carbodiimides, however, there exist other carbodiimides that are not normally used. Twelve carbodiimides including the above mentioned were chosen to study their chemical reactivity as well as their nucleophilic and electrophilic attack sites. Geometry optimization in gas and solution phases was obtained using Density Functional Theory (DFT) through B3LYP with 6-31G(d) and 6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) level. Global and local reactivity descriptors were calculated and analyzed such as chemical hardness, ionization potential, electron affinity, Fukui functions, dual descriptor and hypersoftness. The results obtained for geometrical parameters do not have significant differences for gas and solution phase. The introduction of diffuse functions has great impact in electron affinity, modifying notably the values of reactivity descriptors, but didn’t show qualitative differences, since the results found for both basis set calculations show that Cyanamide or CD1 is the most stable and CD11 present greater reactivity of all studied molecules. Also, the hypersoftness results obtained with 6-31G(d) are in agreement with the general affirmation that carbodiimides are easily attacked by nucleophiles and electrophiles in the central carbon–nitrogen double bond.

In the title compound, C18H12O3S2, synthesized by the Claisen–Schmidt condensation method, the essentially planar chalcone unit adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the carbonyl group within the ethylenic bridge. In the crystal, weak C—H...π interactions connect the molecules into zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. The molecular structure was optimized geometrically using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–311 G++(d,p) basis set level and compared with the experimental values. Molecular orbital calculations providing electron-density plots of HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) were also computed both with the DFT/B3LYP/6–311 G++(d,p) basis set. The experimental energy gap is 3.18 eV, whereas the theoretical HOMO–LUMO energy gap value is 2.73 eV. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to further investigate the weak interactions present.

The FTIR, UV–Vis and NMR spectra of 4-(2-hydroxy-3-morpholin-4-yl-propoxy)-chromen-2-one (4-HMPC) have been recorded and analyzed. The optimized geometry and harmonic vibrational frequencies of 4-HMPC were obtained by the Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional with 6-311[Formula: see text]G basis set. The 1H and [Formula: see text]C NMR chemical shifts were calculated by the GIAO method in chloroform. The absorption spectra of 4-HMPC were computed in ethanol and water solutions using TD-B3LYP/6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) approach. The correlation of theoretical and experimental results provides a detailed description of the structural and physicochemical properties of the molecule. The results obtained from the studies of HOMO and LUMO were used to calculate the conceptual-DFT-based global reactivity descriptors such as electronic chemical potential, electronegativity, chemical hardness, global softness and electrophilicity index of the compound.

In this study, the dependence of corrosion inhibition and microbial effects of four N-hydroxymethylated amino acids, on their molecular and electronic structure is analyzed using density functional theory calculations. Quantum chemical parameters such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), energy gap (ΔE) were calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) basis set. Although no simple relationship between the inhibition performance and the calculated data could be discerned, the comparison of inactivation rate constants with energetic parameters suggested that microbial effects of the compounds can be explained in terms of their side chain disparities.

The energy gaps, total energies, the energy of HOMO and LUMO, softness, dipole moment, Fermi level, molecular symmetry, electrochemical hardness, electron density, electrostatic potential surfaces and infrared spectra were calculated. The results showed that the electronic properties of phenanthrene molecule are affected by the added nitro group. The total energy, energy gap and the HOMO and LUMO energy decreased compared with the original molecule. The ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA) and Fermi level (Ef) are increased compared with the original molecule.

Abstract Theoretical analysis on geometries, optoelectronic properties, photovoltaic properties and absorption spectra on six π-conjugated molecules used in organic bulk heterojunction solar cell (BHJ), completed using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations with Becke’s three-parameter functional and Lee-Yang-Parr functional (B3LYP), hybrid exchange-correlation functional using the Coulomb-attenuating method (CAM-B3LYP) and WB97XD level with 6-311G basis set supported by Gauss View and Gaussian 09 program. LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital), energy gap (Egap) and Voc (open-circuit voltage) and other essential parameters have been investigated to study the effects on substitution of electron-donating and electron-accepting groups to the proposed molecule. These properties determine if the studied compounds can act as good electron donors along with phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as a suitable electron acceptor.
