The primary stages of the oxidation of model cyclohexane and 1,3-cyclohexadiene by triplet molecular oxygen and subsequent transformations involving triplet and singlet states were studied for the first time by the DFT method with the density functional B3LYP with the basis set 6-311++g(df,p). It was shown that, ceteris paribus, cyclohexane and 1,3-cyclohexadiene will be orders of magnitude more reactive compared to the activity of acyclic saturated hydrocarbons under SCF conditions when the oxidation process is initiated by the primary reaction with 3O2, which allows the propane-butane mixture to be effectively used as SCF conditions of heavy oils and use air purge to activate this process. The triplet associate complexes resulting from the oxidative cleavage of the secondary C–H bond of cyclohexane and 1,3-cyclohexadiene consist of hydrogen-bonded hydroperoxyl radical and cyclohexyl radical or 1,3-cyclohexadiene radical, respectively. These complexes can dissociate into unbound pairs of radicals, and therefore further reactions can proceed in the triplet or singlet direction. The singlet direction is characterized by hydrate-induced hydroperoxide-carbonyl transformation, as well as other hydrate-induced rearrangements. The triplet direction is characterized by the occurrence of triplet rearrangement, which in its essence is a triplet recombination of associated radicals. Associate triplet complexes can be agents of radical hydroperoxyl and alkyl activity, as well as agents of radical hydroxyl and alkoxyl activity. Most oxidative dehydrogenation reactions are absolutely real under a number of conditions, namely, they must take place under SCF conditions, as well as in the presence of an excess of SCF solvent necessary for the effective shift of thermodynamic equilibrium towards the target products in accordance with the Le Chatelier principle.

Recently the three-dimensional structure of verdoheme heme oxygenase complex was revealed. However, many parameters of verdoheme heme oxygenase’s complex structure and their role and function on Heme degradation were unknown. In this work the structure of iron verdoheme in complex with heme oxygenase was compared by the density functional theory (DFT)-based B3LYP method using the 6-31G basis set. Many parameters such as charge of verdoheme and iron as central metal, electron distribution, spin multiplicity of the molecule and proximal substituents effects on verdoheme ring stabilization and their arrangement are discussed and compared for twelve different conformations of the molecules to find the most energetically stable states.

The present research deals with the synthesis, characterization and density functional theory (DFT) study of (E)-1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (DTMPP). For the computational investigation, DFT method at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set has been used. Herein, structural properties like molecular structure, bond lengths, and bond angles of the DTMPP have been explored. The all-important examination of the electronic properties; HOMO and LUMO energies were studied by the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) method. The experimental and theoretical spectroscopic Investigation on FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13C NMR has been unveiled in the present research. To study the chemical behaviour of the DTMPP, Mulliken atomic charges, molecular electrostatic surface potential, and reactivity descriptors have been explored. The dipole moment of the DTMPP is 1.27 Debye with C1 point group symmetry and -1225.77 a.u. E(B3LYP) energy. The most electropositive carbon and hydrogen atoms in the DTMPP are C14 and H27 respectively. The C1-C6 bond is the longest (1.4089 Å) C=C bond in the DTMPP. The oxygen atom O33 is having short contact interaction with the hydrogen atom H44 with a distance of 3.3258 Å. The molecular electrostatic potential plot predicts the positive electrostatic potential is around hydrogen atoms. The FT-IR assignments were made by comparing the experimental FT-IR absorption peaks with the scaled frequencies obtained using DFT method. Furthermore, some valuable insights on thermochemical data are obtained using the harmonic frequencies at same basis set.

AbstractOxidatively generated damage to DNA frequently appears in the human genome as an effect of aerobic metabolism or as the result of exposure to exogenous oxidizing agents. Due to these facts it has been decided to calculate the stability of 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine/guanosine (cdA, cdG) in their 5′R and 5′S diastereomeric forms. For all points of quantum mechanics studies presented, the density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP parameters on 6-311++G** basis set level was used. The calculations showed a significant negative enthalpy for glycosidic bond cleavage reaction for cationic forms and slightly negative for neutral ones. The preliminary study of the discussed process has shown the nature of stepwise nucleophilic substitution DN*AD type mechanism. Surprisingly, the different values in free energy, between short-lived oxacarbenium ion intermediates, have been found to lie over a relatively small range, around 1 and 2.8 kcal mol−1. For anions, the decomposition enthalpies were found as positive in aqueous phases. These theoretical results are supported by the formic acid hydrolysis experiments of both diastereomers of cdA, for the first time. (5′S)cdA exhibited higher stability than (5′R)cdA.

Semilocal pseudopotentials are used in combination with a density-functional approximation for the correlation energy and special optimized basis sets to investigate the sulphur halides SF, SF2, SF3, FSSF, SSF2, SCl, SCl2, ClSSCl and SSCl2. It turns out that the inclusion of d-orbitals in the basis set playes a significant role with respect to the quality of the calculated molecular parameters. Properties of SF3 are calculated for the first time, and the differences between the disulphur difluorides and the disulphur dichlorides are explained.

Polysaccharide biopolymer Agar-Agar extracted from red algae is a natural and biodegradable polymer. It is a combination of agarose (a neutral and linear polymer, with repeated units of agarobiose) and a heterogeneous mixture of agaropectin (a charged sulfated polymer). In this study, a comparative study of structural vibrational and electrochemical properties of agar-agar biopolymer with two different methods HF (Hartree-Fock) and DFT (Density Functional Theory) using a basis set 631+G (d, p) is performed. The comparative structural study of agar-agar biopolymer by HF and DFT method has been carried out to calculate the stability of the molecule. The thermionic properties and Mulliken charge distribution are analysed to deliver a quantitative study of partial atomic charge distribution. The overall vibrational analysis of primal modes of the biopolymer has been studied using FTIR analysis. Based on highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) composition and energies, various chemical parameters of the biopolymer have been evaluated. The Physico-chemical properties of this polysaccharide show a strong correlation with its optimized structure. Agar-agar has its application in the electrochemical, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical fields, as a stabilizer and gelling material.

Present investigation deals with the synthesis and density functional theory study (DFT) of a chalcone derivative; (E)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CPMPP). The synthesis of a CPMPP has been carried out by the reaction of 4-methoxyacetophenone and 4-chlorobenzalehyde in ethanol at 30 ℃ under ultrasound irradiation. The structure of a synthesized chalcone is affirmed on the basis of FT-IT, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The geometry of a CPMPP is optimized by using the density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters like bond length and bond angles have been computed. The absorption energies, oscillator strength, and electronic transitions have been derived at the TD-DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory for B3LYP/6-31G(d p) optimized geometries. The effect of polarity on the absorption energies is discussed by computing UV-visible results in dichloromethane (DCM). Since theoretically obtained wavenumbers are typically higher than experimental wavenumbers, computed wavenumbers were scaled with a scaling factor, and vibrational assignments were made by comparing experimental wavenumbers to scaled theoretical wavenumbers. Quantum chemical parameters have been determined and examined. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface plot analysis has been carried out at the same level of theory. Mulliken atomic charge study is also discussed in the present study.
