In the present paper, the chemical potential of four flavonoids i.e. apigenin, luteolin, quercetin, and myricetin, of interest in the pharmaceutical industry was investigated using molecular modelling. The equilibrium geometry of molecular structures was calculated in the gas phase and ground state by using B3LYP hybrid functional in conjunction with a 6-311G(d,p) basis set. In order to assess the chemical potential of investigated flavonoids, the main quantum molecular descriptors, such as the dipole moment, the energy of the highest/lowest occupied/unoccupied molecular orbital, the gap energy, the electronegativity, the chemical hardness/softness, and the electrophilicity index have been computed. Also, the influence of the hydroxylation degree of chemical compounds on the chemical potential is discussed.

A computational study of medium effect on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and different molecular properties like chemical hardness & softness, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of metronidazole have been reported in this paper. Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) level of theory with 6-31G (d,p) basis set was applied for gas phase and solution. The effect of solvent polarity on solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and molecular properties were calculated by employing Solvation Model on Density (SMD). The solvation free energies and dipole moment of metronidazole were found to be increased in nonpolar to polar solvents. The dipole moment of metronidazole was higher in different solvent than that of the gas phase. Moreover, from non-polar to polar solvents the chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index were increased. On the other hand, opposite relation was found in the case of chemical hardness and softness. The results obtained in this study may lead to understand the stability and reactivity of metronidazole and the results will be of assistance to use the title molecule as reaction intermediates and pharmaceuticals.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 19(1): 9-14, 2016

Electrophilicity Index

Electrophilicity index (𝜔) is related to the energy lowering associated with a maximum amount of electron flow between a donor and an acceptor and possesses adequate information regarding structure, stability, reactivity and interactions. Chemical potential (μ) measures charge transfer from a system to another having a lower value of μ, while chemical hardness (η) is a measure of characterizing relative stability of clusters. The main purpose of the present research work is to examine the Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) effect on the behavior of the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness of neutral gold clusters Aun (n=2-6). Using the second-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, geometries are optimized at the DKH2-B3P86/DZP-DKH level of theory. Spin-orbit coupling energies are computed using the fourth-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian, generalized Hartree-Fock method and all-electron relativistic double-ζ level basis set. Then, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) corrections to the electrophilicity index, chemical potential, hardness and softness are calculated. It is revealed that spin-orbit correction to the vertical chemical hardness has important effect on Au3 and Au6, i.e. SOC decreases (increases) the hardness of gold trimer (hexamer). Due to the relationship between hardness and softness, σ = , inclusion of spin-orbit coupling increases (decreases) the softness of Au3 (Au6) and thus destabilizes (stabilizes) it. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) also has more important effect on the chemical potential of Au3 by decreasing its value. It is found that spin-orbit coupling has considerable effect on the electrophilicity index of gold trimer and greatly increases its value. Furthermore, SOC increases the maximal charge acceptance of Au3 more and thus destabilizes it more. As a result, spin-orbit coupling effect appears to be important in calculating the electrophilicity index of the gold trimer. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2021-02-01-05 Full Text: PDF

A combined experimental and theoretical study for Fourier transform infrared spectra for 2-(pyranoquinolin-4-yl)malononitrile (PQMN) compound has been made. In advance, we investigate many physical characteristics based on DFT/B3LYP using 6-311G(d,p) basis set such as optimum structure, vibrational frequencies, thermo-chemistry, overall dipole moment, HOMO/LUMO Bandgap, nuclear repulsive energy and ionization energies, electronic affinity and chemical potential, global electrophilicity index, global hardness and finally softness (ζ). Also, we studied the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of PQMN. Results emphasize both degeneracy and diamagnetic properties of PQMN. PQMN Frontiers’ molecular orbitals (FMOs) split into two distinguished alpha (spin ↑) and beta (spin ↓) states with the same energy 3.7 eV, although its singlet spins state. Moreover, the calculated dipole moment (DM) value (13.3 Debye) for PQMN explains the mystery behind its reactive tendency with the nearby media. PQMN is a unique model for a degenerate diamagnetic semiconductor that can be easily used for optoelectronic manufactured devices such as solar cells and spintronic devices.

Abstract Platinum and similar metals are suitable catalysts in response to fuel cells, however, because of being costly, their use is limited. So in this study, the catalytic efficiency of some organometallic compounds with the general formula TMCmHm on the reaction rate of "Hydrazine- Oxygen "fuel cell was studied via density Functional Theory (DFT). To perform the respect calculations, the PW91 method and 6-31 G(d) basis set were used. Bonds’ length of O=O and N-N increased in response to their adsorption onto TMCmHm and theoretical study of N2H4-O2 fuel cell the partial transfer of negative charge from organometallic compounds to their π * orbitals. Bond length of O=O increased by 24% due to its adsorption on ScC5H5 and N-N on ScC5H5 increased by 11%. The optimal structure of each studied organometallic compound was plotted by performing natural bond orbital calculations (NBO). The energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO) were calculated. Besides, , the gap energies (Eg), chemical hardness (ɳ), chemical potential (µ), and electrophilicity (ω) were calculated in each case. Then, the optimal structure of O2/TMCmHm and N2H4/ TMCmHm pairs was plotted; the adsorption energy of O2 and N2H4 on each of TMCmHm was evaluated. The kinetic adsorption of O2 and N2H4 on the Sc C5H5 compound was investigated by the 6-31 G * method. The potential energy of O2/TMCmHm and N2H4/ TMCmHm pairs in the initial and final position and the transient state were estimated, and the respect kinetic parameters were calculated.

Ab initio calculations were carried out to study the geometry, solvation free energy, dipole moment, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), Mulliken and Natural charge distribution, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) energetic and different molecular properties like global reactivity descriptors (chemical hardness, softness, chemical potential, electronegativity, electrophilicity index) of 2-methylimidazole. B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory was used to optimize the structure both in the gas phase and in solution. The solvation free energy, dipole moment and molecular properties were calculated by applying the Solvation Model on Density (SMD) in four solvent systems, namely water, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), n-octanol and chloroform. The computed bond distances, bond angles and dihedral angles of 2-methylimidazole agreed reasonably well with the experimental data except for C(2)-N(1), C(4)-C(5) and N(1)-H(7) bond lengths and N(1)-C(5)-C(4) bond angle. The solvation free energy, dipole moment, polarizability, first order hyperpolarizability, chemical potential, electronegativity and electrophilicity index of 2-methylimidazole increased on going from non-polar to polar solvents. Chemical hardness also increased with increasing polarity of the solvent and the opposite relation was found in the case of softness. These results provide better understanding of the stability and reactivity of 2-methylimidazole in different solvent systems.

In this work, density functional theory is applied to understand the conformational stability and solvent effects on glycolic acid conformers in different solvents. In addition, the role of intramolecular hydrogen bond (H-bond) interactions in the stability of conformers are investigated. The molecular geometries of selected conformers are optimized using B3LYP and PBE0 functionals with 6-311[Formula: see text]G(d,p) basis set. The effects of solvent on the geometrical parameters, relative stability, dipole moment, chemical hardness, chemical potential, etc. are studied for the conformers of glycolic acid. Our calculations show that the order of stability of the SSC and AAT conformers does not change in liquid phase. However, the energy of SSC and AAT conformers is very close to each other in water media. In water media, strong intramolecular H-bond interaction is present in AAT conformer which causes the energy of AAT conformer to be very close to that of SSC conformer. This may be due to the influence of water media.
