Novel fluorescent dyes such as benzoxazole-boron complexes, bearing β-ketoiminate ligands, have been synthesized and characterized with a focus on the influence of a substituent on the basic photophysical properties. 1H, 11B, 13C, 15N, and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of substituted 2-phenacylbenzoxazole difluoroboranes have been recorded and discussed. It is worth mentioning that a high correlation coefficient was found between 15N-NMR parameters and substituent constants. The photophysical properties of these new dyes have been investigated by fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy. The geometry optimization, vibrational spectra, and the HOMO and LUMO energies were calculated based on density functional theory with the use of the B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set.

In this work, the interaction of C 20 with N 2 X 2 ( X = H , F , Cl , Br , Me ) molecules has been explored using the B3LYP, M062x methods and 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets. The interaction energies (IEs) obtained with standard method were corrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules at the same levels of theory. It was found C 20… N 2 H 2 interaction is stronger than the interaction of other N 2 X 2 ( X = F , Cl , Br , Me ) with C 20. Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO, respectively) levels are illustrated by density of states spectra (DOS). The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICSs) confirm that C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules exhibit aromatic characteristics. Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform NBO analysis. Also, 14 N NQR parameters of the C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules are predicted.

The possibility of using less expensive and nontoxic metals, such as copper, as substitutes for more expensive heavy metals in the synthesis of new transition-metal complexes to be used as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has stimulated research in this field. The novel photoluminescent copper(I) complex bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)[trans-(±)-2,4,5-tris(pyridin-2-yl)-2-imidazoline-κ2 N 2,N 3]copper(I) hexafluorophosphate, [CuI(C18H15N5)(C18H15P)2]PF6, has been successfully synthesized and characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The complex showed interesting photophysical properties, which were studied experimentally in solution and in the solid state by UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with dichloromethane as solvent reproduced reasonably well the HOMO and LUMO orbitals of the title compound.

In the title compound, C18H12O3S2, synthesized by the Claisen–Schmidt condensation method, the essentially planar chalcone unit adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the carbonyl group within the ethylenic bridge. In the crystal, weak C—H...π interactions connect the molecules into zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. The molecular structure was optimized geometrically using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–311 G++(d,p) basis set level and compared with the experimental values. Molecular orbital calculations providing electron-density plots of HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) were also computed both with the DFT/B3LYP/6–311 G++(d,p) basis set. The experimental energy gap is 3.18 eV, whereas the theoretical HOMO–LUMO energy gap value is 2.73 eV. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to further investigate the weak interactions present.

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 FTIR, UV–Vis and NMR spectra of 4-(2-hydroxy-3-morpholin-4-yl-propoxy)-chromen-2-one (4-HMPC) have been recorded and analyzed. The optimized geometry and harmonic vibrational frequencies of 4-HMPC were obtained by the Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional with 6-311[Formula: see text]G basis set. The 1H and [Formula: see text]C NMR chemical shifts were calculated by the GIAO method in chloroform. The absorption spectra of 4-HMPC were computed in ethanol and water solutions using TD-B3LYP/6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) approach. The correlation of theoretical and experimental results provides a detailed description of the structural and physicochemical properties of the molecule. The results obtained from the studies of HOMO and LUMO were used to calculate the conceptual-DFT-based global reactivity descriptors such as electronic chemical potential, electronegativity, chemical hardness, global softness and electrophilicity index of the compound.

The sulfonamide compound, 4-methyl-N-(2-methylphenyl) benzene sulfonamide has been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR, UV-Vis, single crystal X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. Density functional (DFT) calculations have been carried out for the title compound by performing DFT level of theory using B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis set. The calculated results show that the predicted geometry can well reproduce the structural parameters. Predicted vibrational frequencies have been assigned and compared with the experimental IR spectra and they support each other. In addition, atomic charges, frontier molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential were carried out by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) 6-31G (d, p) basis set. The calculated Homo and Lumo energies show that charge transfer occur in the molecule.

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 10H-dibenzo[b,e][2,4]oxazine was calculated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) using 6-311G (d,p) basis set. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of title compound were interpreted by comparing the experimental results with the theoretical B3LYP/6-311G (d,p) calculations. The experimental observed vibrational frequencies are compared with the calculated vibrational frequencies and they are in good agreement with each other. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis interprets the intramolecular contacts of title molecule. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical movements of the particle have been determined by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) strategy and contrasted with the experimental outcome. The deciphered HOMO and LUMO energies showed the chemical stability of the molecules. Fukui capacity and natural charge investigation on atomic charges of the title molecule have been discussed. Docking reads were performed for title molecule utilizing the molecular docking programming with fungicidal dynamic PDB’s.

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.

A new database of transition metal reaction barrier heights – MOBH35 – is presented. Benchmark energies (forward and reverse barriers and reaction energy) are calculated using DLPNO-CCSD(T) extrapolated to the complete basis set limit using a Weizmann1-like scheme. Using these benchmark energies, the performance of a wide selection of density functional theory (DFT) exchange–correlation functionals, including the latest from the Truhlar and Head-Gordon groups, is evaluated. It was found, using the def2-TZVPP basis set, that the ωB97M-V (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol), ωB97X-V (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) and SCAN0 (MAD 2.1 kcal/mol) hybrid functionals are recommended. The double-hybrid functionals PWPB95 (MAD 1.6 kcal/mol) and B2K-PLYP (MAD 1.8 kcal/mol) did perform slightly better but this has to be balanced by their increased computational cost.

<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>
