Abstract DFT calculations were performed to analyze those interactions; B3LYP and B3PW91 methods were applied and the following basis sets were used: 6-311++G(2d, 2p), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd) and aug-cc-pVDZ. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and atom in molecules (AIM) theory were applied to understand the nature of the interactions. The most stable complex NS1 with an eight-membered cyclic structure contains two O- H· ··O and N-H·· ·O hydrogen bonding interactions. From the values of r(r) at O·· ·H critical points, it can be concluded that the H-boding in eight-membered cyclic NS1 is stronger than other. The elongation of the O-H bond length is caused by the electron-density transfer to the O-H antibonding orbital.

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.

The torsional potential function for methyl rotation in dimethyl ether (DME) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) has been determined by utilizing ab initio (Hartree–Fock and MP2) and density functional theory (B3LYP, B3P86, and B3PW91) methods along with several basis sets. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was also applied to investigate the origin of the rotational barrier.

It is important to understand how ionic liquids interact with aromatic sulfur compounds in view of ionic liquids application in desulfurization from fuels. Ion pairs of N, N-dialkylimidazolium dialkylphosphate ionic liquids were optimized at the Becke3LYP level of density functional theory. The most stable geometries were obtained. The stable ion pairs indicate there exist hydrogen bonding interactions between them. The calculated interaction energies of ion pairs were found to increase in magnitude with decreasing alkyl chain length, and with decreasing anionic radius. Furthermore, the interactions between the IL and aromatic sulfur compound, and benzene molecule were investigated. The results indicate that there exist hydrogen bonds between them. The calculated interaction energy between IL and sulfur compound is larger than that between IL and benzene. The aromatic ring π - π interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction may be the dominant factors to influence the trend of interaction between ILs and aromatic sulfur compounds.

2-Substituted N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amines were synthesized either from their corresponding 6-chloro-9-methyl-9H-purines or 2-chloro-N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amine. Great diversity in the amino/imino tautomeric ratios was observed and calculated based on 1H NMR. The tautomers were identified by 1D and 2D 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR techniques, and showed significant variation both in 13C and 15N shift values. Comparison of the tautomeric ratios with Hammett F values revealed that as the field/inductive withdrawing abilities of the 2-substituent increased, the ratio of amino:imino tautomers was shifted toward the amino tautomer. Computational chemistry exposed the significance of hydrogen bonding between solvent and the compound in question to reach accurate predictions for tautomeric ratios. B3LYP/def2-TZVP density functional theory (DFT) calculations resulted in quantitatively more accurate predictions than when employing the less expensive BP86 functional. N-7-Alkylation of the 2-substituted N-methoxy-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-amines showed that when the field/inductive withdrawing ability of the 2-substituent reached a certain point the reactivity drastically dropped. This correlated with the atomic charges on N-7 calculated using a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Biological screening of the final 2-substituted agelasine analogs indicated that the introduction of a methyl group in the 2-position is advantageous for antimycobacterial and antiprotozoal activity, and that an amino function may improve activity against several cancer cell lines.
