GAMESS computational chemistry package is a freeware available on the web. It has been successfully applied for the structure elucidation of the commonly available D-glucose. In the current research, IR and Raman spectra of D-glucose were theoretically calculated by utilizing the density functional theory (DFT), combined with B3LYP/3-21G basic set. IR and Raman activities were estimated through the GAMESS computational package. Moreover, the NMR spectrum was also obtained through the Gaussian 09 package. Theoretically calculated and experimentally calculated results were compared using the B3LYP/3-21G level of theory. The results of both calculations were nearly the same. The optimization of structure with the various levels of theory and Basis sets was studied and the best results were obtained using B3LYP/3-21G, and these results agreed considerably with the experimental results. The current computational analysis may be useful to predict complex carbohydrate precursors and other carbohydrate molecules.

The regiochemistry of [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) processes between benzonitrile N-oxide 1 and β-phosphorylated analogues of nitroethenes 2a–c has been studied using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the M062X/6-31+G(d) theory level. The obtained results of reactivity indices show that benzonitrile N-oxide 1 can be classified both as a moderate electrophile and moderate nucleophile, while β-phosphorylated analogues of nitroethenes 2a–c can be classified as strong electrophiles and marginal nucleophiles. Moreover, the analysis of CDFT shows that for [3+2] cycloadditions with the participation of β-phosphorylatednitroethene 2a and β-phosphorylated α-cyanonitroethene 2b, the more favored reaction path forms 4-nitro-substituted Δ2-isoxazolines 3a–b, while for a reaction with β-phosphorylated β-cyanonitroethene 2c, the more favored path forms 5-nitro-substituted Δ2-isoxazoline 4c. This is due to the presence of a cyano group in the alkene. The CDFT study correlates well with the analysis of the kinetic description of the considered reaction channels. Moreover, DFT calculations have proven the clearly polar nature of all analyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reactions according to the polar one-step mechanism.

Exclusive Property

Notwithstanding the graphitization of SiC under high thermal treatment can take place for all SiC surfaces, the quality of the resulting graphene as well as its structural and electrical characteristics strongly depend on the SiC face where growth has taken place. In this paper we use the density functional theory to analyze the structural and electronic properties of epitaxial graphene grown on three different SiC planes. Calculations are presented for the (6√3×6√3)R30°-reconstructed SiC(0001) surface (Si face) as well as the nonpolar SiC(11-20) and SiC(1-100) planes. We argue that the formation of a strongly-bound interface buffer layer is an exclusive property of the SiC(0001) surface. Moreover, our results indicate that nonpolar planes give rise to graphene with a nearly ideal low-energy spectrum.

The Density Functional Theory

The paper presents a combined experimental and computational study of hexa(1-vinylimidazole)Ni(II) perchlorate complex. The complex was prepared in the laboratory and crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a=8.442(5), b=13.686(8), c=16.041(9) Å, α=γ=90, β=96.638(5), and Z=1. The complex has been characterized structurally (by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction) and its molecular structure in the ground state has been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) methods with 6-31G(d) and LanL2DZ basis sets. Thermal behaviour and stability of the complex were studied by TGA/DTA analyses. Besides, the nonlinear optical effects (NLO), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), and the Mulliken charge distribution were investigated theoretically.

Insight Into

The density functional theory (DFT) method has been employed to unravel mechanistic intricacies of the 1,4-polymerization of 1,3-butadiene mediated by the [(η3-RC3H4)FeII(C15H11N3)(η2-C4H6)]+ terpyridine–iron(II) active catalyst species. The π-allyl-insertion mechanism is operative for chain growth, whilst the alternative σ-allyl-insertion mechanism has been explicitly demonstrated as being inoperable. This study elucidates the mechanism of cis–trans regulation and unveils the factors that govern the observed high trans-1,4 stereoselectivity, in particular, the discriminative role of allylic isomerization. An atactic trans-1,4-polydiene is expected from polymerization of a terminally monosubstituted butadiene, the experimental results of which have not been reported thus far.

AbstractIn this study we applied the fuzzy logic approach in order to model the energy depending on the two torsion angles for the threonine (C4H9NO3) molecule. The model is set up according to theoretical results obtained by the density functional theory (B3LYP) with a 6-31 G(d) basic set on a Gausian program. We aimed to determine the best torsion angle values providing the energy of the molecule minimum by a fuzzy logic approach and to compare them with the density functional theory results. It was concluded that the fuzzy logic approach gives information about the untested data and its best value which are expensive and time-consuming to obtain by other methods and experimentation.

Calculations based on the density functional theory, with the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, were performed with the aim of confirming the molecular structure and spectroscopic characteristics of kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid molecule. The electronic structure of kaempferol was examined using NBO analysis. The assigning of the experimentally obtained IR and Raman spectra was performed after the best-fit-based comparison with theoretical spectra. The 13C and 1H NMR experimental spectra were related to the theoretically obtained values of the chemical shifts determined by the GIAO method. The correlation coefficient and the average absolute error values proved B3LYP-D3 to be an adequate method in describing the NMR parameters of kaempferol. Molecular docking analysis was carried out in order to identify the potency of inhibition of the title molecule against human procalcitonin. The inhibition activity was obtained for 10 conformations of ligand inside the protein.

The decomposition mechanism of acyloxy radicals has been studied by the Density Functional Theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional in conjunction with the 6-311++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis sets. The potential energy profiles for reaction systems were generally established. Calculated results indicate that the formation of products including hydrocarbon radicals and CO2 molecule is energetically favored. The rate of decomposition increases with the number of carbon in non-cyclic saturated acyloxy radicals. Calculated enthalpies and Gibbs free energies of reactions well agree with experimental values. This study is a contribution to the understanding of the reaction mechanism of decomposition of acyloxy radicals in atmosphere and combustion chemistry.

Lithium Vacancy

Tritium adsorption in the irradiation defects of the Li2ZrO3 is a fundamental problem to understand the tritium behavior during the release process. A comprehensive computational study of tritium/helium adsorption in the lithium vacancy of bulk Li2ZrO3 is presented by the density functional theory calculations. The most stable tritium adsorption position has been found and it is determined by the neighboring lithium–oxygen interactions. The results reveal that the intrinsic defect is the lithium vacancy with one electron and it transforms to be the neutral state after a tritium atom is adsorbed. Moreover, helium is adsorbed almost in the center of lithium vacancy without bonding with surrounding oxygen atoms, which could diffuse easily in the bulk Li2ZrO3. Therefore, we predict that the intrinsic Li vacancy tends to adsorb a positive ion T[Formula: see text] other than a neutral T atom. Our results provide theoretical support to understand the T behavior in the Li2ZrO3 crystal.

AbstractA combined experimental and computational study of the dinuclear rhenium(V) complex containing (ReO)2(µ-O) core is presented in this article. The solid-state [Re2Cl4(O)2(µ-O)(3,5-lut)4] (3,5-lut = 3,5-dimethylpyridine) complex was characterised structurally (by single crystal X-ray diffraction) and spectroscopically (by IR, NMR, UV-VIS). The electronic structure was examined using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed electronic transitions were calculated using the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV-VIS spectrum was discussed.
