X-ray structural determinations and computational studies were used to investigate halogen interactions in two halogenated oxindoles. Comparative analyses of the interaction energy and the interaction properties were carried out for Br···Br, C-H···Br, C-H···O and N-H···O interactions. Employing Møller–Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT), the basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrected interaction energy (Eint(BSSE)) was determined using a supramolecular approach. The Eint(BSSE) results were compared with interaction energies obtained by Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM)-based methods. Reduced Density Gradient (RDG), QTAIM and Natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations provided insight into possible pathways for the intermolecular interactions examined. Comparative analysis employing the electron density at the bond critical points (BCP) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) showed that the interaction energies and the relative orientations of the monomers in the dimers may in part be understood in light of charge redistribution in these two compounds.

Density Functional Theory (DFT) and dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) were used to study the intermolecular interactions of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene FOX-7/NH3and FOX-7/H2O supermolecules. The geometries optimized from DFT and DFT-D methods are similar.Six optimized supermolecules were characterized to be local energy minima on potential energy surfaces without imaginary frequencies. The intermolecular interaction energy (binding energy) was calculated with basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. The largest corrected intermolecular interaction energy is FOX-7/NH3 (-43.76 kJ×mol-1), indicating that the interaction between FOX-7 and NH3 is stronger than that of FOX-7/H2O. The same conclusion is obtained from the studies on the infrared spectrum and frontier orbitals.

Utilizing dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrate the weak intermolecular interactions of phenylenediamine dimer (pdd) clusters, emphasizing the local lowest energy structures and decomposition of interaction energies by natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecule (AIM) analyses.

Density functional method was applied to the study of the highly efficient primary explosive 2-diazo-4,6-dinitrophenol (DDNP) in both gaseous tautomers and its bulk state. Two stable tautomers were located. It was found that the structure (I) with open diazo, i.e. with linear CNN, is more stable than that with diazo ring tautomer (II) of DDNP. The structure I is in good agreement with the structure in the bulk. The lattice energy is -89.01 kJ/mol, and this value drops to -83.29 kJ/mol when a 50% correction of the basis set superposition error was adopted. The frontier bands are quite flat. The carbon atoms in DDNP make up the upper valence bands. While the lower conduction bands mainly consist of carbon and diazo N atoms. The bond populations of C–N bonds (both C–Nitro and C–Diazo) are much less than those of the other bonds and the detonation may be initiated through the breakdown of C–N bonds.

Density functional theory and second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory with effective core potentials have been used to calculate homolytic bond-dissociation enthalpies, D(Sn–X), of organotin compounds, and their performance has been assessed by comparison with available experimental bond enthalpies. The SDB-aug-cc-pVTZ basis set with its effective core potential was used to calculate the D(Sn–X) of a series of trimethyltin(IV) species, Me3Sn–X, where X = H, CH3, CH2CH3, NH2, OH, Cl, and F. This is the most comprehensive report to date of homolytic Sn–X bond-dissociation enthalpies (BDEs). Effective core potentials are then used to calculate thermodynamic parameters including donor–acceptor bond enthalpies, [Formula: see text], for a series of tin-ligand complexes, L2SnX4 (X = Br or Cl, L = py, dmf, or dmtf), which are compared with previous experimental and nonrelativistic computational results. Based on computational efficiency and accuracy, it is concluded that effective core potentials are appropriate computational methods to examine bonding in organotin systems.

Weak interactions between organic donor and acceptor molecules resulting in cofacially-stacked aggregates ("CT complexes") were studied by second-order many-body perturbation theory (MP2) and by gradient-corrected hybrid Hartree-Fock/density functional theory (B3LYP exchange-correlation functional). The complexes consist of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and related compounds and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). Density functional theory (DFT) and MP2 molecular equilibrium geometries of the component structures are calculated by means of 6-31G*, 6-31G*(0.25), 6-31++G**, 6-31++G(3df,2p) and 6-311G** basis sets. Reliable molecular geometries are obtained for the donor and acceptor compounds considered. The geometries of the compounds were kept frozen in optimizing aggregate structures with respect to the intermolecular distance. The basis set superposition error (BSSE) was considered (counterpoise correction). According to the DFT and MP2 calculations laterally-displaced stacks are more stable than vertical stacks. The charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor is small in the ground state of the isolated complexes. The cp-corrected binding energies of TTF/TCNE amount to -1.7 and -6.3 kcal/mol at the DFT(B3LYP) and MP2(frozen) level of theory, respectively (6-31G* basis set). Larger binding energies were obtained by Hobza's 6-31G*(0.25) basis set. The larger MP2 binding energies suggest that the dispersion energy is underestimated or not considered by the B3LYP functional. The energy increases when S in TTF/TCNE is replaced by O or NH but decreases with substitution by Se. The charge-transferred complexes in the triplet state are favored in the vertical arrangement. Self-consistent-reaction-field (SCRF) calculations predicted a gain in binding energy with solvation for the ground-state complex. The ground-state charge transfer between the components is increased up to 0.8 e in polar solvents.

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.

Στην παρούσα διατριβή μελετήθηκε μια σειρά υποκατεστημένων βενζολικών δακτυλίων με άτομα μετάλλων νομισματοκοπείου του γενικού τύπου C6H6-nMn (M = Cu, Ag, Au, n = 1 – 6), με τη βοήθεια της μεθόδου συναρτησιακού πυκνότητας (Density Functional Theory), που χαρακτηρίζεται με το ακρώνυμο DFT. Συγκεκριμένα μελετήθηκαν διεξοδικά τόσο οι δομικές όσο και οι ενεργειακές, μαγνητοτροπικές και φασματοσκοπικές ιδιότητες των παραπάνω ενώσεων και συγκρίθηκαν με τις αντίστοιχες ιδιότητες του μη υποκαταστημένου αρωματικού βενζολικού δακτυλίου. Σε αντίθεση με τον βενζολικό δακτύλιο, τα μεταλλουποκαταστημένα βενζόλια του τύπου C6H6-nMn (M = Cu, Ag, Au, n = 1 – 6) παρουσιάζουν αρωματικό χαρακτήρα ακόμα και στην τριπλή διεγερμένη κατάστασή τους. Από τη μελέτη αυτή προέκυψαν πολύ καλές γραμμικές συσχετίσεις του τανυστή zz στο σημείο 1, NICSzz(1), του δείκτη αρωματικότητας NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift), 1) με το συνολικό αρνητικό φυσικό φορτίο που φέρει ο καρβοκυκλικός δακτύλιος και 2) με το μήκος κύματος (λ) της μετάπτωσης HOMO → LUMO στα φάσματα απορρόφησης των ενώσεων C6H6-nMn. Τα φάσματα εκπομπής των ενώσεων C6H6-nMn χαρακτηρίζονται από τις υψηλές τιμές της διαφοράς ενέργειας ΔE(S0-T1) ειδικά στις περιπτώσεις των δι-υποκατεστημένων μέτα- και πάρα- ισομερών. Η μέγιστη τιμή ΔE(S0-T1) που υπολογίστηκε για την ένωση m-C6H4Au2 είναι ίση με 67 kcal/mol. Μελετήθηκαν επίσης τα δεσμικά χαρακτηριστικά των μετάλλων Cu, Ag, Au με τους βενζολικούς δακτυλίους για κάθε περίπτωση, με τη βοήθεια διαφόρων υπολογιστικών κβαντοχημικών μεθόδων, όπως είναι η πλυθησμιακή ανάλυση φυσικών τροχιακών δεσμού (Natural Bond Orbital, NBO), η πλυθησμιακή ανάλυση με τη μέθοδο των Ατόμων-Στα-Μόρια (Atoms-In-Molecules, AIM), τη συνάρτηση ηλεκρονιακού εντοπισμού (Electron Localization Function, ELF), την κλίση ανηγμένης πυκνότητας (Reduced Density Gradient, RDG) και οι συναρτήσεις Sign(λ2(r))ρ(r) για ακόμα μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια. Η θεωρητική μελέτη των ενώσεων C6H6-nMn (M = Cu, Ag, Au, n = 1 – 6) έδειξε ότι αυτές είναι θερμοδυναμικά σταθερές και κατά συνέπεια θα ήταν δυνατή η σύνθεση και απομόνωσή τους από πειραματικούς χημικούς.Επίσης, μελετήθηκε, με μεθόδους της DFT, η ικανότητα αντιπρωσοπευτικών ενώσεων, όπως του C6H5Cu και 1,3,5-Cu3C6H3 για τη δέσμευση και αποθήκευση μοριακού υδρογόνου και βρέθηκε να τηρούν τις απαιτήσεις του US DOE για χαμηλού κόστους υλικών αποθήκευσης υδρογόνου. Μια εμπεριστατωμένη ανάλυση των δεσμικών Cu∙∙∙(η2-H2) αλληλεπιδράσεων με τη βοήθεια υπολογιστικών μεθόδων ηλεκτρονικής δομής (NBO, AIM, ELF, RDG και συναρτήσεων Sign(λ2(r))ρ(r)) έδειξε ότι οι αλληλεπιδράσεις αυτές εμφανίζουν έναν μικτό ομοιοπολικό - ιοντικό χαρακτήρα που συνοδεύεται από ασθενείς διαμοριακές αλληλεπιδράσεις διασποράς.
