Structure, electronic property, aromaticity and vibrational frequency of medium-sized Au-doped germanium clusters were systematically explored using the density-functional theory (DFT) in conjunction with the LanL2DZ basis set. Our results show that the endohedrally Au-doped cagelike structures are energetically preferred. The p- and d-states in endohedral Au atom mainly contribute to the chemical bonding at around −6.5 and −10.6 eV for the AuGe10 and AuGe12 clusters. Moreover, the cage aromaticity appears to be an important determination of the electronic stability of the two clusters, reflected by negative nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) values. The theoretical work will be useful and helpful for the understanding in the further application, i.e., cluster-assembled optoelectronic nanomaterials.

Calculations based on the density functional theory, with the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, were performed with the aim of confirming the molecular structure and spectroscopic characteristics of kaempferol, a naturally occurring flavonoid molecule. The electronic structure of kaempferol was examined using NBO analysis. The assigning of the experimentally obtained IR and Raman spectra was performed after the best-fit-based comparison with theoretical spectra. The 13C and 1H NMR experimental spectra were related to the theoretically obtained values of the chemical shifts determined by the GIAO method. The correlation coefficient and the average absolute error values proved B3LYP-D3 to be an adequate method in describing the NMR parameters of kaempferol. Molecular docking analysis was carried out in order to identify the potency of inhibition of the title molecule against human procalcitonin. The inhibition activity was obtained for 10 conformations of ligand inside the protein.

Abstract Cyclic voltammetry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum chemistry calculations were applied to explore the hydrogen bond interactions between ascorbic acid (AA) and glycine. The experimental results demonstrate the existence of hydrogen bonds in AA-glycine system, which has a significant effect on the oxidation peak potentials and currents of AA and the chemical shifts of glycine. The formation of hydrogen bonds between AA and glycine were further confirmed by the density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and natural bond orbital analyses.

The optical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–titanium oxide (TiO2)–silicon carbide (SiC) and (PVA)–magnesium oxide (MgO)–(SiC) nanocomposites are calculated, by using the Gaussian 09 and Gaussian view 5.0.8 programs on the basis of the density functional theory at B3LYP level with 6–31 G basis set. The results indicate that the absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, imaginary and real dielectric constants, and optical conductivity of (PVA–TiO2–SiC) and (PVA–MgO–SiC) increase with the concentration of SiC nanoparticles. Both nanocomposites have high absorbance in the UV region and have indirect energy gaps 1 eV < Eg < 2.2 eV. This makes them useful for various applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, lasers, solar cells, sensors, photocatalytic devices, light filters, UV detectors, etc. with low cost, easy fabrication, and adaptability as compared with other devices.

Our theoretical study of stability and reactivity was carried out on six (06) molecules of a series of pyrimidine tetrazole hybrids (PTH) substituted with H, F, Cl, Br, OCH3 and CH3 atoms and groups of atoms using the density function theory (DFT). Analysis of the thermodynamic formation quantities confirmed the formation and existence of the series of molecules studied. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP / 6-311G (d, p) level of theory determined molecular descriptors. Global reactivity descriptors were also determined and analyzed. Thus, the results showed that the compound PTH_1 is the most stable, and PTH_5 is the most reactive and nucleophilic. Similarly, the compound PTH_4 is the most electrophilic. The analysis of the local descriptors and the boundary molecular orbitals allowed us to identify the preferred atoms for electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks.

A versatile synthetic building block, 2-amino-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium chloride (L∙HCl) was synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR DEPT analysis, UV/Vis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The molecular geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO), 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts values of the title compound in the ground state were obtained by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and compared with the experimental data. Electronic absorption spectrum of the salt was determined using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method at the same level. In the NMR and electronic absorption spectra calculations, the effect of solvent on the theoretical parameters was included using the default model with DMSO as solvent. The obtained theoretical parameters agree well with the experimental findings.

The transformation of 2and#39;-hydroxychalcones to their corresponding flavanones was studied theoretically by the use of the density functional theory (DFT) with B3-LYP/ 6-311G basis set to get important information about the role of both of electronic and structural properties in this process. The obtained energies were found to be in agreement with our previous results that obtained from HPLC studies. The estimated hardness, polarizability, and electrophilicity profiles were found to obey the maximum hardness principle (MHP), minimum polarizability principle (MPP), and the minimum electrophilicity principle (MEP) respectively. Flavanone ring closure was found to be the rate-determining step.

ABSTRACTWe use the local-density-approximation to the density-functional theory to determine the axial polarizabilities of fullerene tubules as a function of length and winding topologies. Specifically, we present linear polarizabilities for tubules of composition C12H24, C36H24, C40H20 and C60H24. The size-dependent variation in the dipole-coupled gaps between pairs of occupied and unoccupied levels leads to enhancements in the polarizability per valence electron as the length of the tubule increases. The results are compared to recent densityfunctional based calculations of the linear and nonlinear polarizabilities for fullerene and benzene molecules.
