Objective: Optimized molecular structures have been investigated by DFT/B3LYP method with 6-31G (d,p) basis set. Stability of Benzo and anthraquinodimethane derivatives 1-4, hyperconjugative interactions, charge delocalization and intramolecular hydrogen bond has been analyzed by using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Electronic structures were discussed and the relocation of the electron density was determined. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), local density functional descriptors has been studied. Nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were also investigated. In addition, frontier molecular orbitals analyses have been performed from the optimized geometries. An ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), electrophilicity index (ω), chemical potential (µ), electronegativity (χ), hardness (η), and softness (S), have been investigated. All the above calculations are made by the method mentioned above.Methods: The most stable optimized geometries obtained from DFT/B3LYP method with 6-31G(d,p) basis set were investigated for the study of molecular structures, nonlinear properties, natural bond orbital (NBO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and frontier molecular orbital of Benzo and anthraquinodimethane derivatives.Results: Reactive sites of electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks for the investigated molecule were predicted using MEP at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p). Compound 4 possesses higher electronegativity value than all compounds so; it is the best electron acceptor; the more reactive sites for electrophilic attacks are shown in compounds 1 and 4, for nucleophilic attacks are indicated in compounds 2 and 3 and the more reactive sites in radical attacks are detected in compounds 2 and 4.Conclusions: Compound 1 is softest, best electron donor and more reactive than all compounds. The calculated first order hyperpolarizability was found much lesser than reported in literature for urea.

In this work, a comprehensive investigation of the salicylideneaniline derivatives is carried out using density functional theory to determine their linear and non-linear optical properties. Geometry optimizations, for gas and solvent phases, of the tautomers (enol and keto forms) are calculated using B3LYP levels with 6–31G (d,p) basis set . An intramolecular proton transfer, for 1SA-E and 2SA-E, is performed by a PES scan process at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level. The optical properties are determined and show that they have extremely high nonlinear optical properties. In addition, the RDG analysis, MEP, and gap energy are calculated. The low energy gap value indicates the possibility of intramolecular charge transfer. The frontier molecular orbital calculations clearly show the inverse relationship of HOMO–LUMO gap with the first-order hyperpolarizability (β = 59.6471 × 10-30 esu), confirming that the salicylideneaniline derivatives can be used as attractive future NLO materials. Therefore, the reactive sites are predicted using MEP and the visible absorption maxima are analyzed using a theoretical UV–Vis spectrum. Natural bond orbitals are used to investigate the stability, charge delocalization, and intramolecular hydrogen bond.

The electronic properties such as Frontier orbital and band gap energies have been calculated using DFT. Global reactivity descriptor has been computed to predict chemical stability and reactivity of the molecule. The chemical reactivity sites of compounds were predicted by mapping molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface over optimized geometries and comparing these with MEP map generated over crystal structures. The charge distribution of molecules predict by using Mulliken atomic charges. The non-linear optical property was predicted and interpreted the dipole moment (μ), polarizability (α) and hyperpolarizability (β) by using density functional theory.

The binding, interaction and distortion energies between the main triglycerides, palmitic-oleic-stearic (POS) in cocoa butter versus palmitic-oleic-palmitic (POP) in refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm oil with cocoa′s methylxanthines (caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline) during the production of chocolate were theoretically studied and reported. The quantum mechanical software package of Gaussian09 at the theoretical level of density functional theory B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) was employed for all calculations, optimization, and basis set superposition errors (BSSE). Geometry optimizations were carried out to the minimum potential energy of individual species and binary complexes formed between the triglycerides, methylxanthines and polyphenols. The interaction energies for the optimized complexes were then corrected for the BSSE using the counterpoise method of Boys and Bernardi. The results revealed that the binding energy and interaction energy between methylxanthine components in cocoa powder with triglycerides were almost of the same magnitude (13.6-14.5 and 3.4-3.7 kJ/mol, respectively), except for the binary complex of POS-caffeine (25.1 and 10.7 kJ/mol, respectively). Based on the molecular geometry results, the hydrogen bond length and angle correlated well with the interaction energies. Meanwhile, the POS-caffeine complex with two higher and almost linear bond angles showed higher binding and interaction energies as compared to the other methylxanthines. Therefore, a donor-acceptor analysis showed that the hydrogen bond strength was proven using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), which resulted in parallel outcomes. The research results were believed to be one of the factors that contributed to the rheological behaviour and sensory perception of cocoa products, especially chocolate.

The optimized molecular structures and vibrational frequencies and also gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO)1H and13C NMR shift values of benzoylcholine chloride [(2-benzoyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] have been calculated using density functional theory (B3LYP) method with 6-31++G(d) basis set. The comparison of the experimental and calculated infrared (IR), Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra has indicated that the experimental spectra are formed from the superposition of the spectra of two lowest energy conformers of the compound. So, it was concluded that the compound simultaneously exists in two optimized conformers in the ground state. Also the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has supported the simultaneous exiting of two conformers in the ground state. The calculated optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) and vibrational frequencies for both the lowest energy conformers were seen to be in a well agreement with the corresponding experimental data.

In the present work, two-armed macroinitiator containing coumarin were synthesized, characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and investigated theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The molecular geometry, fundamental vibrational frequencies, atomic charges obtained from atomic polar tensors and Mulliken were analyzed by means of structure optimizations based on the DFT method with 6-31G+(d, p) as a basis set. The 1H chemical shifts were calculated by the gauge-including atomic orbital method and compared with available experimental data. The electronic properties, such as highest occupied molecular orbital – lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energies, electron affinity, electronegativity, ionization energy, hardness, chemical potential, global softness, and global electrophilicity were calculated by using the DFT method. The electrostatic potential and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces were performed to predict the reactive sites of the two-armed macroinitiator. The energy difference between acceptor and donor and stabilization energy were determined using natural bond orbital analysis. The results show that the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfers within the polymer. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations of visible spectra were analyzed at different solvents. Finally, thermodynamic functions, such as enthalpy, heat capacity, and entropy, of the two-armed macroinitiator at different temperatures were calculated and the relationship with temperature was investigated.

This paper presents a comparative study on natural indigo and indirubin in terms of molecular structures and spectral properties by using both computational and experimental methods. The spectral properties were analyzed with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, UV-Visible, and fluorescence techniques. The density functional theory (DFT) method with B3LYP using 6-311G(d,p) basis set was utilized to obtain their optimized geometric structures and calculate the molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals, FTIR, and Raman spectra. The single-excitation configuration interaction (CIS), time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), and polarization continuum model (PCM) were used to optimize the excited state structure and calculate the UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence spectra of the two molecules at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The results showed that all computational spectra agreed well with the experimental results. It was found that the same vibrational mode presents a lower frequency in indigo than that in indirubin. The frontier molecular orbital analysis demonstrated that the UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence bands of indigo and indirubin are mainly derived from π → π* transition. The results also implied that the indigo molecule is more conjugated and planar than indirubin, thereby exhibiting a longer maximum absorption wavelength and stronger fluorescence peak.

The B3LYP method with 6-31G* basis set was used to predict the geometries of five 9-aminoacridines (9-AA 1(a–e)), DNA base pairs, and respective complexes. Polarizabilities, charge distribution, frontier molecular orbital (FMO), and dipole moments were used to analyze the nature of interactions that allow reasonable drug diffusion levels. The results showed that charge delocalization, high polarizabilities, and high dipole moments play an important role in intermolecular interactions with DNA. The interactions of 9-AA 1(a–e) with GC are the strongest. 9-AA 1(d) displayed the strongest interaction and 9-AA 1(b) the weakest.
