The present study included the use of the approximate semi-experimental method, the time-independent density function theory (unrestricted), the time-dependent density function theory, and Hartree-Fock method to calculate the reaction pathway of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac with its common ionic carriers (sodium and potassium). The basis sets used were STO-3G, 3-21G, 6-31G, and 6-311G. The drug was studied with two new proposed carrier ions (lithium and calcium) which were compared with common carriers. The calculations included the optimized geometrical structure and some physical properties such as standard heat of formation, dipole moment, total energies, and analytical spectra of IR, UV-VIS and 1H NMR. The biological and toxicological activities and the nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were also studied theoretically for the drug and for its proposed and common carriers. All calculations were performed using Gaussian-09 program. The results of the proposed carriers were compared with the common carriers in terms of activation energies, transition states, and products. This study is considered as a step to develop diclofenac prodrugs and find new carriers for diclofenac. The proposed lithium showed a good result and a potential for use as a drug carrier. The results also showed the convergence of the values of the common carriers (Na, K) and those of the proposed carrier (Ca), with their preference over it.

The reaction of silylene with acetylene was observed by the density function theory (DFT) method at the 6 - 311 g (d,p) level. A new reaction pathway has been identified involving the tetra-conjugated: SiH2CH==CHH2Si:. Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis confirms the reaction to be spontaneous at room temperature. The new intermediate proposed in this work offers a resolution of the conundrum of the silylene/acetylene reaction.

The photo physical properties of two mononuclear pentacoordinated copper(II) complexes formulated as [Cu(L)(Cl)(H2O)] (1) and [Cu(L)(Br)(H2O)] (2)HL = (1-[(3-methyl-pyridine-2-ylimino)-methyl]-naphthalen-2-ol) were synthesized and characterized by elemental, physicochemical, and spectroscopic methods. The density function theory calculations are used to investigate the electronic structures and the electronic properties of ligand and complex. The interactions of copper(II) complexes towards calf thymus DNA were examined with the help of absorption, viscosity, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques at pH 7.40. All spectroscopy's result indicates that complexes show good binding activity to calf thymus DNA through groove binding. The optical absorption and fluorescence emission properties of microwires were characterized by fluorescence microscope. From a spectroscopic viewpoint, all compounds strongly emit green light in the solid state. The microscopy investigation suggested that microwires exhibited optical waveguide behaviour which are applicable as fluorescent nanomaterials and can be used as building blocks for miniaturized photonic devices. Antibacterial study reveals that complexes are better antimicrobial agents than free Schiff base due to bacterial cell penetration by chelation. Moreover, the antioxidant study of the ligand and complexes is evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical assays, which demonstrate that the complexes are of higher antioxidant activity than free ligand.

The ring-opening reaction between bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin was calculated by Gaussian03. The Density Function Theory (DFT) method were employed to study the geometry structures of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin and the product was obtained on the base of B3LYP/6-31G+ model in this paper. The transitional states (Ts1, Ts2) during the ring-opening process were found by TS method and the energy changing of the system was proved by IRC calculation. Results showed that the energy reduced by 64.37726kJ/mol during the ring-opening process. The product was confirmed to be thermodynamically stable.
