A computational study of medium effect on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and different molecular properties like chemical hardness & softness, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of metronidazole have been reported in this paper. Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) level of theory with 6-31G (d,p) basis set was applied for gas phase and solution. The effect of solvent polarity on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and molecular properties were calculated by employing Solvation Model on Density (SMD). The solvation free energies and dipole moment of metronidazole were found to be increased in nonpolar to polar solvents. The dipole moment of metronidazole was higher in different solvent than that of the gas phase. Moreover, from non-polar to polar solvents the chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index were increased. On the other hand, opposite relation was found in the case of chemical hardness and softness. The results obtained in this study may lead to understand the stability and reactivity of metronidazole and the results will be of assistance to use the title molecule as reaction intermediates and pharmaceuticals.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(1): 9-14, 2016

Ab initio calculations were carried out to study the geometry, solvation free energy, dipole moment, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), Mulliken and Natural charge distribution, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) energetic and different molecular properties like global reactivity descriptors (chemical hardness, softness, chemical potential, electronegativity, electrophilicity index) of 2-methylimidazole. B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory was used to optimize the structure both in the gas phase and in solution. The solvation free energy, dipole moment and molecular properties were calculated by applying the Solvation Model on Density (SMD) in four solvent systems, namely water, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), n-octanol and chloroform. The computed bond distances, bond angles and dihedral angles of 2-methylimidazole agreed reasonably well with the experimental data except for C(2)-N(1), C(4)-C(5) and N(1)-H(7) bond lengths and N(1)-C(5)-C(4) bond angle. The solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, first order hyperpolarizability, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of 2-methylimidazole increased on going from non-polar to polar solvents. Chemical hardness also increased with increasing polarity of the solvent and the opposite relation was found in the case of softness. These results provide better understanding of the stability and reactivity of 2-methylimidazole in different solvent systems.

Ab initio calculations were carried out to studysolvation free energy, dipole moment, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), Mulliken charge distribution, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and different molecular properties like global reactivity descriptors (chemical hardness, softness, chemical potential, electronegativity, electrophilicity index) of betulin. B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory was used to optimize the structure both in gas phase and in solution. The solvation free energy, dipole moment and molecular properties were calculated by applying the Solvation Model on Density (SMD) in six solvent systems namely water, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, n-octanol, chloroform and carbontetrachloride. The solvation free energy of betulin increases with decreasing polarity of the solvent. No systematic trend of hyperpolarizability with solvent polarity is found. Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) and Mulliken population analysis (MPA) reveal that the most possible sites for nucleophilic attack are C30, H76 and H77 and electrophilic attack are O1 and O2 among the atoms in betulin. However, the dipole moment, polarizability, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of betulin increase on going from non-polar to polar solvents. Chemical hardness was also increased with decreasing polarity of the solvent and opposite relation was found in the case of softness. These results provide better understanding of the stability and reactivity of betulin in different solvent systems.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 16(1): 1-9, 2017 (June)

In the present paper, the chemical potential of four flavonoids i.e. apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, and myricetin, of interest in the pharmaceutical industry was investigated using molecular modelling. The equilibrium geometry of molecular structures was calculated in the gas phase and ground state by using B3LYP hybrid functional in conjunction with a 6-311G(d,p) basis set. In order to assess the chemical potential of investigated flavonoids, the main quantum molecular descriptors, such as the dipole moment, the energy of the highest/lowest occupied/unoccupied molecular orbital, the gap energy, the electronegativity, the chemical hardness/softness, and the electrophilicity index have been computed. Also, the influence of the hydroxylation degree of chemical compounds on the chemical potential is discussed.

A combined experimental and theoretical study for Fourier transform infrared spectra for 2-(pyranoquinolin-4-yl)malononitrile (PQMN) compound has been made. In advance, we investigate many physical characteristics based on DFT/B3LYP using 6-311G(d,p) basis set such as optimum structure, vibrational frequencies, thermo-chemistry, overall dipole moment, HOMO/LUMO Bandgap, nuclear repulsive energy and ionization energies, electronic affinity and chemical potential, global electrophilicity index, global hardness and finally softness (ζ). Also, we studied the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of PQMN. Results emphasize both degeneracy and diamagnetic properties of PQMN. PQMN Frontiers’ molecular orbitals (FMOs) split into two distinguished alpha (spin ↑) and beta (spin ↓) states with the same energy 3.7 eV, although its singlet spins state. Moreover, the calculated dipole moment (DM) value (13.3 Debye) for PQMN explains the mystery behind its reactive tendency with the nearby media. PQMN is a unique model for a degenerate diamagnetic semiconductor that can be easily used for optoelectronic manufactured devices such as solar cells and spintronic devices.

Electrophilicity index (𝜔) is related to the energy lowering associated with a maximum amount of electron flow between a donor and an acceptor and possesses adequate information regarding structure, stability, reactivity and interactions. Chemical potential (μ) measures charge transfer from a system to another having a lower value of μ, while chemical hardness (η) is a measure of characterizing relative stability of clusters. The main purpose of the present research work is to examine the Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) effect on the behavior of the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness of neutral gold clusters Aun (n=2-6). Using the second-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, geometries are optimized at the DKH2-B3P86/DZP-DKH level of theory. Spin-orbit coupling energies are computed using the fourth-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, generalized Hartree-Fock method and all-electron relativistic double-ζ level basis set. Then, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) corrections to the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness are calculated. It is revealed that spin-orbit correction to the vertical chemical hardness has important effect on Au3 and Au6, i.e. SOC decreases (increases) the hardness of gold trimer (hexamer). Due to the relationship between hardness and softness, σ = , inclusion of spin-orbit coupling increases (decreases) the softness of Au3 (Au6) and thus destabilizes (stabilizes) it. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) also has more important effect on the chemical potential of Au3 by decreasing its value. It is found that spin-orbit coupling has considerable effect on the electrophilicity index of gold trimer and greatly increases its value. Furthermore, SOC increases the maximal charge acceptance of Au3 more and thus destabilizes it more. As a result, spin-orbit coupling effect appears to be important in calculating the electrophilicity index of the gold trimer. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-01-05 Full Text: PDF

Solvation free energy of six choline based ILs were computed under molecular dynamics (MD) simulation using Bennet Acceptance Ratio (BAR) method. H2S removal from the natural gas can be accomplished by absorption process using a solvent. Degree elimination of gases in liquid can be estimated by excess chemical potential (μex), Henry’s law constant (kH), enthalpy (hex), and entropy (sex). The Optimised Potential Liquids Simulation (OPLS) force fields used for ILs were validated against experimental density in order to get valid results of solvation free energy. The percentage error of the predicted density of six choline based ILs were below than 2.0% which is a good agreement with the previous study. The highest value of kH was 109.23 atm gained by choline thiocyanate [Chl][tcy] and the lowest value of kH was 23.25 atm obtained by choline acetate [Chl][act]. There are many features that influence the solubility of H2S for example length of alkyl chain, free volume effect, molar density, type of anions and hydrogen bonding interaction. In order to understand the behaviour of H2S molecules in ILs system, the radial distribution function (RDF) of H2S-ILs and RDF for specific atom were analysed. Basically, the shorter the alkyl chain, increase in molar density of ILs, reduce the free volume thus provide less space for H2S to occupy and decrease insolubility.

This work deals with the molecular orbital calculation studies performed on different diazadienes to assess their reactivity pattern. The interaction of these diazadienes with various electron-poor and electron-rich dienophiles leads to the formation of diazines and tetrazines as the cycloadducts. The results from frontier orbital interactions were used to rationalize the reactivity and predictability of NDAC and IEDDAC reaction pathways. Correlation studies were also performed to predict reactivity sequence using a number of electronic descriptors, such as electrophilicity index (ω), chemical potential (µ), electronic charge ΔNmax, and chemical hardness η. Moreover, these studies exhibit good compatibility with experimental observations.Key words: AM1, MNDO, PM3, diazadienes, tetrazines, electrophilicity index, chemical potential.
