The molecular structures, electron affinities, and dissociation energies of the C6F6molecule have been determined using seven hybrid and pure density functional theory (DFT) methods and the DZP++ basis set. Three different types of the neutral-anion energy separations reported in this work are the adiabatic electron affinity (EAad), the vertical electron affinity (EAvert), and the vertical detachment energy (VDE). The most reliable adiabatic electron affinities, obtained at the B3PW91 and B3LYP levels, are 0.59 and 0.69 eV, respectively. The first dissociation energies De(C6F5-F) for the neutral C6F6predicted by the DFT methoSubscript textds except BHLYP are 5.195.44 eV. Compared with the limited experimental dissociation energies, our theoretical predictions of the B3LYP and B3PW91 methods are fairly reasonable.

The electron affinities of the CnH2n+1SS/CnH2n+1SS- (n=1-5) species have been determined using four different density functional or hybrid Hartree-Fock density functional methods. The basis set used in this work is of double- plus polarization quality with additional diffuse s- and p-type functions, denoted DZP++. Three different types of the neutral-anion energy separations reported in this work are the adiabatic electron affinity (EAad), the vertical electron affinity (EAvert), and the vertical detachment energy (VDE). The most reliable adiabatic electron affinities, obtained at the DZP++ BP86 level of theory, are 1.794 eV (for CH3SS), 1.777 eV (for C2H5SS), 1.778 eV (a) and 1.809 eV (b) for the two isomers of C3H7SS, 1.782 eV (a), 1.825 eV (b) and 1.778 eV (c) for the three isomers of C4H9SS, and 1.784 eV (a), 1.875 eV (b), 1.805 eV (c) and 1.835 eV (d) for the three isomers of C5H11SS, respectively.

The structures, electron affinities and bond dissociation energies of BrO4F/BrO4F− species have been investigated with five density functional theory (DFT) methods with DZP++ basis sets. The planar F-Br…O2…O2 complexes possess 3A' electronic state for neutral molecule and 4A' state for the corresponding anion. Three types of the neutral-anion energy separations are the adiabatic electron affinity (EAad), the vertical electron affinity (EAvert), and the vertical detachment energy (VDE). The EAad value predicted by B3LYP method is 4.52 eV. The bond dissociation energies De (BrO4F → BrO4-mF + Om) (m = 1-4) and De- (BrO4F- → BrO4-mF- + Om and BrO4F- → BrO4-mF + Om-) are predicted. The adiabatic electron affinities (EAad) were predicted to be 4.52 eV for F-Br…O2…O2 (3A'← 4A') (B3LYP method).

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 was decided to present, for the first time, the electron affinity, ionization potential 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 zero-point vibrational corrected adiabatic electron affinity (AEA) and adiabatic ionization potential (AIP) were calculated. Additionally the vertical electron affinity (VEA), vertical detachment energy (VDE) and vertical ionization potential were taken into consideration. AEA in eV (gaseous/aqueous phase) are as follows: 0.3/1.81 (5′R)cdA, 0.13/1.76 (5′S)cdA, 0.17/1.49 (5′R)cdG, 0.14/1.53 (5′S)cdG and AIP followed the order 7.43/5.59(5′S)cdG, 7.49/5.60(5′R)cdG, 7.77/5.97(5′R)cdA, 7.84/5.93(5′S)cdA. The obtained AIPs were found to be lower than that for corresponding natural nucleosides. Therefore, even though the 5′,8-cyclopurine-2′-deoxynucleoside level in a cell was judged as low, they can play an important role in the stability, replication and transcription of genes.

Bismuth Cluster

The neutral, anionic and cationic bismuth clusters with the size n up to 14 are investigated by using B3LYP functional within the regime of density functional theory and the LAN2DZ basis set. By analysis of the geometries of the Bi[Formula: see text] (n = 2–14) clusters, where cationic and anionic bismuth clusters are largely similar to those of neutral ones, a periodic effect by adding units with one to four atoms into smaller cluster to form larger cluster is drawn for the stable structures of bismuth clusters. An even–odd alteration is shown for the properties of the clusters, such as the calculated binding energies and dissociation energies, as well as frontier orbital energies, electron affinities, ionization energies. All the properties indicate that the Bi4 cluster is the most possible existence in bismuth-containing materials, which supports the most recent experiment. The orbital compositions, infrared and Raman activities and the ultraviolet absorption of the most possible tetramer bismuth cluster are given in detail to reveal the periodic tendency of adding bismuth atoms and the stability of tetramer bismuth cluster.

Potential energy surface scanning for UC, UN, and UH was performed by configuration interaction (CI), coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) excitation, quadratic configuration interaction (QCISD (T)), and density functional theory PBE1 (DFT-PBE1) methods in coupling with the ECP80MWB_AVQZ + 2f basis set for uranium and 6 − 311 + G∗ for carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The dissociation energies of UC, UN, and UH are 5.7960, 4.5077, and 2.6999 eV at the QCISD (T) levels, respectively. The calculated energy was fitted to the potential functions of Morse, Lennard-Jones, and Rydberg by using the least square method. The anharmonicity constant of UC is 0.0047160. The anharmonic frequency of UC is 780.27 cm−1 which was obtained based on the PBE1 results. For UN, the anharmonicity constant is 0.0049827. The anharmonic frequency is 812.65 cm−1 which was obtained through the PBE1 results. For UH, the anharmonicity constant is 0.017300. The anharmonic frequency obtained via the QCISD (T) results is 1449.8 cm−1. The heat capacity and entropy in different temperatures were calculated using anharmonic frequencies. These properties are in good accordance with the direct DFT-UPBE1 results (for UC and UN) and QCISD (T) results (for UH). The relationship of entropy with temperature was established.

<p>Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and Reptation Monte Carlo (RMC) methods, have been applied to study some properties of the NaK molecule. Hartree-Fock (HF), Density Functional (DFT) and single and double configuration interaction (SDCI) wavefunctions with a valence quadruple zeta atomic natural orbital (VQZ/ANO) basis set were used as trial wavefunctions. Values for the potential energy curve, dissociation energy and dipole moment were calculated for all methods and compared with experimental results and previous theoretical derivations. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations were shown to be useful methods to recover correlation in NaK, essential to obtain a reasonable description of the molecule. The equilibrium distance—interpolated from the potential energy curves—yield a value of 3.5 Å, in agreement with the experimental value. The dissociation energy, however, is not as good. In this case, a conventional CCSD(T) calculation with an extended aug-pc-4 basis set gives a much better agreement to experiment. On the contrary, the CCSD(T), other MO and DFT methods are not able to reproduce correctly the large dipole moment of this molecule. Even DMC methods with a simple HF trial wavefunction are able to give a better agreement to experiment. RMC methods are even better, and the value obtained with a B3LYP trial wavefunction is very close to the experimental one.</p>

Chemical Difference

We have performed density functional calculations with the B3LYP functional and a 6-311G** basis set to obtain the vibrational spectra in harmonic approximation of the anti-leprosy drug Dapsone and the parent compound diphenylsulfone. Although the chemical difference between the two molecules is not that pronounced (Dapsone has amino groups in the para positions in the phenyl rings), Dapsone is an active drug, while to our knowledge diphenylsulfone shows no medical activity. We compared the theoretical results to experimental vibrational spectra found in the literature. With the help of the program GAUSSVIEW we were able to assign the experimentally found spectral lines to specific atomic motions. The remarkable difference between the two molecules, regarding their structural behavior, is that the drug Dapsone has a more flexible structure of the phenyl ring than the parent molecule has. This might contribute to a greater ability of the drug to fit into receptor sites in a cell membrane although one has to be well aware that this plays most propably only a minor role in the drug activity of Dapsone

The Matrix

Background: The use of nitrofurantoin and other nitrofuran antibiotics in food which produced from animals is prohibited by European Union because of potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic. Various methods for analysis of residues of nitrofurantoin has been developed, but because of the interference of the matrix, it is necessary to separate the matrix therefore, the matrix effect will not interfere the analysis. Nowadays, molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) is a well-developed tool in the analytical field, mainly for separating substances in relatively complex matrices.Objective: The purpose of this study is to obtain MISPE that is selective for the separation of nitrofurantoin residues in chicken eggs.Methods: Analytical methods development of nitrofurantoin were optimization of HPLC system and validation of analytical methods performed to obtain the suitable system for nitrofurantoin detection. In silico study used for MIP design by observing the difference Gibbs free energy using Gaussview 5.08 software with Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods using 6-311G as basis set. MIP synthesis was done using bulk method use nitrofurantoin as template, acrylamide as functional monomer, ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinker, and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator reaction inside dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent. Non imprinted polymer (NIP) was synthesized as comparison. MIP and NIP which has been synthesized was inserted into SPE cartridge and characterized using Infrared spectroscopy and HPLC.Result: MISPE that has been synthesized was characterized and compared to non-imprinted polymer solid phase extraction (NISPE) and marketed Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) C18. Sensitivity of MIP, NIP, and SPE C-18 to nitrofurantoin was 84.54 %, 37.73 %, and 33.95 % respectively, based on recovery of nitrofurantoin.Conclusion: Based on the result it was obtained MISPE has high selectivity toward nitrofurantoin compared to NISPE and either marketed SPE.

Radical Scavenging Properties

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, based on B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis set, were performed to evaluate the OH bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for phloretin, compared with naringenin, in order to assess the contribution of hydroxyl groups at different position to the radical-scavenging properties. It is indicated clearly that A6 OH is determined as the weakest O-H bond, give rise to the smallest BDE, 73.98 kcal/mol. BDE of B4 OH decreases 2.5 kcal/mol in benzene, very close to that of A6OH, indicated that B4 OH group is also mainly contributed to the reaction with free radicals, especially in non-polar environments.

The performance of a group of density functional methods of progressive complexity for the description of the ClO bond in a series of chlorine oxides was investigated. The simplest ClO radical species and the two isomeric structures XClO/ClOX for each X = H, Cl, and O were studied using the PW91, TPSS, B3LYP, PBE0, M06, M06-2X, BMK, and B2PLYP functionals. Geometry optimizations and reaction enthalpies and enthalpies of formation for each species were calculated using Pople basis sets and the (aug)-cc-pVnZ Dunning sets, with n = D, T, Q, 5, and 6. For the calculation of enthalpies of formation, atomization and isodesmic reactions were employed. Both the precision of the methods with respect to the increase of the basis sets, as well as their accuracy, were gauged by comparing the results with the more accurate CCSD(T) calculations, performed using the same basis sets as for the DFT methods. The results obtained employing composite chemical methods (G4, CBS-QB3, and W1BD) were also used for the comparisons, as well as the experimental results when they are available. The results obtained show that error compensation is the key for successful description of molecular properties (geometries and energies) by carefully selecting the method and basis sets. In general, expansion of the one-electron basis set to the limit of completeness does not improve results at the DFT level, but just the opposite. The enthalpies of formation calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pV6Z for the species considered are generally in agreement with experimental determinations and the most accurate theoretical values. Different sources of error in the calculations are discussed in detail.
