Four new fluorescent dyes derived from the 3 H-benzo[ a]pyrazolo[3,4- j]acridine system were synthesised and fully characterised by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass and analytical data. These new fluorophores were prepared from the reaction of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1 H-indazoles with 1-naphthylacetonitrile via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen, in high yields. The optical properties of the dyes were also investigated and the results revealed that, in some cases, they have higher quantum yields compared with well-known fluorescent dyes such as fluorescein. Solvent effects on the fluorescence characteristics of the four compounds indicated that the emission wavelength is red-shifted with increasing solvent polarity. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set provided the optimised geometries and relevant frontier orbitals of the compounds. Calculated electronic absorption spectra were also obtained using the time-dependent density functional theory method.

The synthesis, optical properties, theoretical calculations and antibacterial activity of a series of new heterocyclic dyes from imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine are described. The key intermediate 2-[3-(hydroxyimino)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-ylidene]malononitrile was obtained via the nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in 3-nitroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine with malononitrile in basic methanol solution. Tautomerism, oxidation and alkylation studies on the dye led to the synthesis of new heterocyclic indigo-coloured, purple, and orange dyes in good yields. The structures of all newly synthesised compounds were confirmed by spectral and analytical data. The optical properties of the dyes were spectrally characterised and shown to exhibit interesting photophysical properties including high extinction coefficients. Density functional theory calculations of the dyes were performed to provide the optimised geometries and relevant frontier orbitals. Calculated electronic absorption spectra were also obtained by the time-dependent density functional theory method. In addition, electrostatic potential maps and electron density maps of the dyes were evaluated by AIM (atoms in molecules) analysis. Moreover, the new dyes exhibited potent antibacterial activity and their antibacterial activities (MIC) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial species were determined.

Present investigation deals with the synthesis and density functional theory study (DFT) of a chalcone derivative; (E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CPMPP). The synthesis of a CPMPP has been carried out by the reaction of 4-methoxyacetophenone and 4-chlorobenzalehyde in ethanol at 30 ℃ under ultrasound irradiation. The structure of a synthesized chalcone is affirmed on the basis of FT-IT, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The geometry of a CPMPP is optimized by using the density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters like bond length and bond angles have been computed. The absorption energies, oscillator strength, and electronic transitions have been derived at the TD-DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory for B3LYP/6-31G(d p) optimized geometries. The effect of polarity on the absorption energies is discussed by computing UV-visible results in dichloromethane (DCM). Since theoretically obtained wavenumbers are typically higher than experimental wavenumbers, computed wavenumbers were scaled with a scaling factor, and vibrational assignments were made by comparing experimental wavenumbers to scaled theoretical wavenumbers. Quantum chemical parameters have been determined and examined. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface plot analysis has been carried out at the same level of theory. Mulliken atomic charge study is also discussed in the present study.

In this paper, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, nonlinear optical and the thermodynamic properties of 10-Acetyl-10H-phenothiazine 5-oxide have been analyzed by employing density functional theory level employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. NBO analysis reveals that the intra- intermolecular charge transfer occurs within the molecule leading to the stabilization. The predicted nonlinear optical properties (NLO) like; polarizability and first hyperpolarizabiliy support that the molecule could attract the interests for future investigation.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 131-139

The Density Functional Theory method was employed to investigate the electronic structure and muonium hyperfine interaction of muonium trapped near carbon atom labelled as '5' in cytosine nucleobase. Eighteen different basis sets in combination with B3LYP functional were examined in geometry optimization calculations on the muoniated radical. There are significant quantitative differences in the calculated total energy. The employment of basis set that does not include polarization function produces an optimized structure with high total energy. The 6-311++G(d,p) basis set yielded the lowest total energy as compared to other basis sets. The bond order of muonium trapped at C5 atom is in the range of 0.841 to 0.862. The 6-31G basis set produced the muonium Fermi contact coupling constant that is the closest to the experimental value.

The non-linear optical properties of gemifloxacin (C18H20FN5O4) have been examined using density functional theory (DFT). The molecular HOMO, LUMO composition, their respective energy gaps, MESP contours/surfaces have also been drawn to explain the activity of gemifloxacin. The equilibrium geometries and harmonic frequencies of title molecule was determined and analyzed at DFT/B3LYP level employing the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The skeleton of both the optimized molecules is non-planar. In general, a good agreement between experimental and calculated normal modes of vibrations has been observed.
