The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of DNAZ·HCl were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density. Results showed that the initial decomposition step of DNAZ·HCl is the loss of NO2from C2 and Cl is the point of molecular reactivity.DandPare 6881.40 m·s-1and 20.85GPa, respectively.

We have carried out a structural and vibrational theoretical study for the citric acid dimer. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method with the B3LYP/6-31G∗ and B3LYP/6-311++ methods have been used to study its structure and vibrational properties. Then, in order to get a good assignment of the IR and Raman spectra in solid phase of dimer, the best fit possible between the calculated and recorded frequencies was carry out and the force fields were scaled using the Scaled Quantum Mechanic Force Field (SQMFF) methodology. An assignment of the observed spectral features is proposed. A band of medium intensity at 1242  together with a group of weak bands, previously not assigned to the monomer, was in this case assigned to the dimer. Furthermore, the analysis of the Natural Bond Orbitals (NBOs) and the topological properties of electronic charge density by employing Bader's Atoms in Molecules theory (AIM) for the dimer were carried out to study the charge transference interactions of the compound.

Abstract This paper is a new step in helping the treatment of coronavirus by improving the performance of chloroquine drug. For this purpose, we propose a complex of chloroquine drug with graphene nanoribbon (GNR) scheme. We compute the structural and electrical properties and absorption of chloroquine (C18H26ClN3) and GNR complex using the density functional theory (DFT) method. By creating a drug and GNR complex, the density of states of electrons increases and the energy gap decreases compared to the chloroquine. Also, using absorption calculations and spectrums such as infrared and UV-Vis spectra, we showed that GNR is a suitable structure for creating chloroquine drug complex. Our results show that the dipole moment, global softness and electrophilicity for the drug complex increases compared to the non-complex state. Our calculations can be useful for increasing performance and reducing the side effects of chloroquine, and thus can be effective in treating coronavirus.

Energetic salts based on pentazolate anion (cyclo-N5−) have attracted much attention due to their high nitrogen contents. However, it is an enormous challenge to efficiently screen out an appropriate cation that can match well with cyclo-N5−. The vertical electron affinity (VEA) of the cations and vertical ionization potential (VIP) of the anions for 135 energetic salts and some cyclo-N5− salts were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT). The magnitudes of VEA and VIP, and their matchability were analyzed. The results based on the calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ levels indicate that there is an excellent compatibility between cyclo-N5− and cation when the difference between the VEA of cation and the VIP of cyclo-N5− anion is −2.8 to −1.0 eV. The densities of the salts were predicted by the DFT method. Relationship between the calculated density and the experimental density was established as ρExpt = 1.111ρcal − 0.06067 with a correlation coefficient of 0.905. This regression equation could be in turn used to calibrate the calculated density of the cyclo-N5− energetic salts accurately. This work provides a favorable way to explore the energetic salts with excellent performance based on cyclo-N5−.

The structures and stabilities of chainlike (CO2)n (n = 2–6) polycarbonates, where adjacent C atoms are linked by C–O–C bonds, were investigated at the density functional theory (DFT) level (B3PW91/6–311G(2d,p)), including dicarboxylic dianions, [CnO2n+1]2–, and the corresponding acids, [CnO2n+1]H2, and Li salts, [CnO2n+1]Li2. At equilibrium, the most stable systems have Cs, C2, or C2v symmetries. In the gas phase, these dianions are generally metastable with respect to spontaneous ejection of one electron, yet in the presence of counterions they become stabilized, for example, as [CnO2n+1]2–(Li+)2 ion pairs. [CnO2n+1]2– linkages are also stabilized as dicarboxylic acids, [CnO2n+1]H2; we find the latter to have equilibrium conformations of higher symmetry than previously reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, none of the [CnO2n+1]X2 (X = Li or H) compounds with n ≥ 2 have been reported in the experimental literature (albeit, the alkyl esters C2O5R2 and C3O7R2 are commercially available). All CO bonds in C2O5X2 to C6O13X2 have single- to double-bond character (≈140–118 pm), indicating that the [CnO2n+1] moieties are held together by strong chemical forces (in contrast to the weakly bound complexes (CO2)n and (CO2)n–, n > 1). Vibrational frequencies were calculated to ensure all conformations were true minima. The IR and Raman intensities show that the high intensity C=O stretching modes (1750 ± 100 cm–1) will help in the spectral characterization of these compounds. Solvation calculations using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) find that C2O52– can be formed via CO32– + CO2 as well as CO3–[Formula: see text], each reaction having ΔG298 < 0 in practically all solvents. This result confirms the experimentally observed large solubility of CO2(g) in molten carbonates, CO3M2 (M = Li, Na, or K). In contrast, starting with n = 2, the reactions [CnO2n+1]2– + CO2 do not proceed spontaneously in any solvent (ΔG298 > 0).

A detailed theoretical study of electronic structure and optical properties of GaN under pressure was performed by the first-principles calculations of plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential method based on the density functional theory (DFT). The results indicate that Ga-N bond length becomes shorter and the valence bonds shift towards the low energy while the conduction bands towards high energy, the band gap becomes wider with the pressure increasing, and theoretical studies explained the relationship between the band edges, energy gap of GaN and pressure. In addition, the peak in band was cracked slightly, and the Ga 3d-N 2p hybridization was enhanced.
