Conformational, spectroscopic and nonlinear optical investigations on 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propen-1-one: a DFT study

The density functional theory calculations on 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propen-1-one (CPCPP) are performed by using B3LYP and HSEh1PBE levels. These methods along with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set have been used to determine optimized molecular geometries, vibrational frequencies, electronic absorption wavelengths and bonding features of CPCPP. The solvent effect on the electronic absorption properties of CPCPP is examined at polar (ethanol and water) and nonpolar (toluene and n-hexane) solvents. In order to find the most stable conformers, conformational analysis is carried out by using B3LYP level. The computed small energy gaps between HOMO and LUMO energies show that the charge transfers occur within CPCPP. DFT calculations have been also performed to investigate the dipole moment (mu), mean polarizability (alpha), anisotropy of polarizability (Delta alpha), first order static hyperpolarizability (beta) for CPCPP. The obtained values show that CPCPP is an excellent candidate to nonlinear optical materials. NBO analysis has been used to investigate the bond strengths, molecular stability, hyperconjugative interactions and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)

Electronic and NLO Performances of Benzohydrazide Derivatives: DFT Investigation and (RDG, AIM) Analysis

International audienceDFT calculations of ground-state hydrazine and benzohydrazide derivatives were performed by using hybrid functional B3LYP and CAMB3LYP with 6–31G (d, p) as basis set. The electric dipole moment (μ), polarizability (α) and molecular first hyperpolarizability (β) were characterized in these compounds. The HOMO–LUMO energy gaps and the global chemical reactivity descriptors were computed by B3LYP and CAMB3LYP using 6–31G (d,p), while the excitation energies have determined by time dependent DFT (TDDFT). Besides, the stability and charge delocalization were studied by natural bond orbital analysis. Topological analyses such as atom in molecule (AIM), natural bonding orbital (NBO) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) have used to compute intermolecular interactions and in particular hydrogen bonds. The obtained first-order hyperpolarizabilities in the range of 1.5 × 10−30 to 30.2 × 10−30 esu revealed that the hydrazine and benzohydrazide derivatives have better NLO properties. The low-energy gap of 3.53 eV generates an intramolecular charge transfer, leading to the enhancement of the NLO activity in these compounds

Spectroscopic (FT-IR,H-1 and C-13 NMR) characterization and density functional theory calculations for (Z)-5-(4-nitrobenzyliden)-3-N(2-ethoxyphenyl)-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one (ARNO)

In this work, the vibrational spectral analysis is carried out by using FTIR spectroscopy in the range 4000 -400 cm(-1) (2)-5-(4-nitrobenzyliden)-3-N(2-ethoxypheny1)-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-4-one (ARNO) molecule. Theoretical calculations were performed by using density functional theory (DFT) method using 6-31G (d, p) and 6-311G (d, p) basis sets. The results of the calculations were applied to simulated spectra of the title compound, which show excellent agreement with observed spectra. The first order hyperpolarizability and related properties (mu and alpha) for ARNO were also calculated. Stability of the molecule has been analyzed by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Mulliken population analysis on atomic charges of the title compound has been carried out by the same method and basis sets. Finally, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and HOMO-LUMO energy levels have been evaluated. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and nonlinear optical properties of (Z)-N '-(2,4-dinitrobenzylidene)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy) acetohydrazide

New organic compound of (Z) -N'- (2, 4-dinitrobenzylidene) -2- (quinolin-8-yloxy) acetohydrazide (DBQA) was synthesized for the first time and its structural characterization was performed by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P-1. The spectroscopic characterization was also performed by the applying of FT-IR, UV-Vis, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopies. In order to support experimental results, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed using B3LYP functionnal with 6-311++G(d, p) basis set. All of the obtained theoretical results are in a perfect agreement with the experimental ones. Furthermore, nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior of DBQA has been investigated by determining of electric dipole moment (mu), polarizability (alpha) and hyperpolarizability (beta) using the same basis set. Finally, the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface of DBQA molecule was simulated and discussed. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
