Polarizable Continuum

In the current work we have investigated the ability of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to predict the absorption spectra of a series of oxazine dyes and the effect of solvent on the accuracy of these predictions. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that for the series of oxazine dyes an accurate prediction of the excitation energy requires the inclusion of solvent. Implicit solvent included via a polarizable continuum approach was found to be sufficient in reproducing the excitation energies accurately in the majority of cases. Moreover, we found that the SMD solvent model, which is dependent on the full electron density of the solute without partitioning into partial charges, gave more reliable results for our systems relative to the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM), as implemented in Gaussian 09. In all cases the inclusion of solvent reduces the error in the predicted excitation energy to <0.3 eV and in the majority of cases to <0.1 eV.

Optical absorption spectra of 1,2-naphthoquinone in non-polar (n-hexane) and polar (water) solvents were obtained. It is shown that the use of quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p)) with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for calculating 1,2-naphthoquinone in a solution of n-hexane and hydrogen complex of 1,2-naphthoquinone with two water molecules in an aqueous medium describes well the shifts of the absorption bands of 1,2-naphthoquinone in a water solution compared to a solution in n-hexane. Based on the analysis of deviations of the calculated band shifts from the experimental ones, the question of the formation of 1,2-naphthoquinone hydrogen complexes with n water molecules (n = 1-4) in an aqueous solution is considered.

The trimethylamine-catalyzed Baylis–Hillman reaction of formaldehyde and vinylaldehyde has been studied with the density functional theory (DFT) method of B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p). In the gas phase, the reaction involves an amine–formaldehyde–vinylaldehyde trimolecular addition transition structure followed by rate-determining intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen shift. When a bulk solvent effect of water was considered with conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM), the reaction was found to follow the sequence of Michael-addition of amine to vinylaldehyde (step 1), addition of formaldehyde (step 2), and 1,3-hydrogen shift (step 3), with the 1,3-hydrogen shift as rate-determining. The overall reaction barrier is significantly reduced. When a molecule of water is involved in the reaction, the 1,3-hydrogen shift is significantly promoted so that the rate-determining step becomes the C–C bond formation. The calculated overall reaction barrier is in agreement with experimental observations.

Polarizable Continuum

A novel byphenyl hydrazone ligand developed as a chemosensor for the detection of Cu2+ was studied using a theoretical analysis based on the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). The geometries of the ligand (L) and the Cu2+-ligand complex were optimized at the CAM-B3LYP/631+G(d,p) level of theory in dimethyl sulfoxide, using the conductor-like polarizable continuum model. The adsorption spectra of these molecular systems were analyzed and compared with the experimental data. Theoretical study of the structural, electronics and optical properties allowed us to understand the chemical changes that the ligand undergoes in the complexation process with the Cu+2 ion.

Novel mero/bis-mero cyanine dyes based on N-Bridgehead imidazo[1,2-g]quinolino[2,1-a][2,6]naphthyridine have been synthesized and characterized to evaluate intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect on the energy gap (E0-0). The UV–vis and emission spectral studies revealed that dyes are absorbed in the region of λmax 485–577 nm and emitted at 567–673 nm. Their solvatochromic behavior in solvents of various polarities, CCl4, C6H6, H2O, CHCl3, acetone, and DMF, was studied to emphasize the effect of solvent polarity on the absorption maxima, molar extinction coefficients of the dyes, and excitation energy of the dyes. Their electron cloud delocalization in HOMO/LUMO levels were studied by DFT using Gaussian 09 software. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was applied to theoretically explore the first excitation energy (E0-0) of these dyes, which was in good agreement with experimental results.
