We briefly present some of the most modern and outstanding non-conventional density-functional theory (DFT) methods, which have largely broadened the field of applications with respect to more traditional calculations. The results of these ongoing efforts reveal that a DFT-inspired solution always exists even for pathological cases. Among the set of emerging methods, we specifically mention FT-DFT, OO-DFT, RSX-DFT, MC-PDFT, and FLOSIC-DFT, complementing the last generation of existing density functionals, such as local hybrid and double-hybrid expressions.

The structural and electronic properties of 1-(5-Hydroxymethyl - 4 –[ 5 – (5-oxo-5-piperidin- 1 -yl-penta- 1,3 -dienyl)-benzo [1,3] dioxol- 2 -yl]- tetrahydro -furan-2 -yl)-5-methy l-1Hpyrimidine-2,4dione (AHE) molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT), and semi empirical molecular orbital calculations. The geometry of the molecule is optimized at the level of Austin Model 1 (AM1), and the electronic properties and relative energies of the molecules have been calculated by density functional theory in the ground state. The resultant dipole moment of the AHE molecule is about 2.6 and 2.3 Debyes by AM1 and DFT methods respectively, This property of AHE makes it an active molecule with its environment, that is AHE molecule may interacts with its environment strongly in solution.

Deprotonation of hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-borane(8) 2 leads first to the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- borate(1−) 3, and further deprotonation, using BuLi/KOtBu, gives the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- hexaborate(2−) 4. The reaction of 3 with FeCl2 affords the commo-ferracarborane [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4H)2] 5, and the analogous reaction of 4 leads to the anionic sandwich complex [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4)2]2− 6 which can be protonated to give 5. The complex 5 contains two hydrido ligands, each bridging the iron and two boron atoms. Reactions were monitored and the products were characterised by 11B NMR spectroscopy in solution. The geometries of the carboranes, the borates (all unsubstituted and permethyl-substituted) and the iron complexes (all unsubstituted) were optimised by DFT methods [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d)], and the relevant NMR data [chemical shifts δ11B, δ13C, δ57Fe, and coupling constants 1J(13C,1H), 1J(11B,1H), 1J(57Fe,1H), 1J(57Fe,11B)] were calculated at the same level of theory.

The Mean

The recent interest in the application of density functional theory (DFT) has prompted us to test several functions in molecular geometries of methyl pheophorbides-a (MPa), an important starting material in photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, we report on tests for three popular DFT methods: M06-2X, B3LYP, and LSDA. Based on the standard deviation and the mean value, and by using the difference between optimized calculated value and experimental value in geometries, we drew the following conclusions: M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) attained the smallest standard deviation of difference among the tested DFT methods in terms of bond length, whereas the standard deviation of bond angle in LSDA/6-311+G(d,p) was the smallest. In terms of absolute value, the mean value of LSDA/6-311+G(d,p) calculation was larger than that of M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p). We found that M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) gave the best performance for MPa in the molecular geometries. The UV-visible spectrum was calculated with time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT). Time-dependent M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) gave the best performance for MPa in CH2Cl2 solution. In general, TD-DFT calculations in CH2Cl2 solution were more red-shifted compared with those in the solid state.
