In this study, we delve into the electronic structure, spectroscopic, and optical properties of five benzo derivatives of pyridine, namely, 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-fluoropyridine (1), 2-fluoro-5-(4-fluorophenyl)pyridine (2), 4-(2-fluoropyridin-5-yl)phenol (3), 5-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-fluoropyridine (4), and 5-(5-bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)-2-fluoropyridine (5). Utilizing quantum chemical density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof levels of theory combined with the 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets, we investigated the electronic and optical characteristics of these compounds. Band structure calculations were conducted for their crystalline structures, revealing a direct band gap varying from 3.018 to 3.558 eV, with the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum located at the G point in the Brillouin zone. The optical properties were analyzed, including the dielectric functions, reflectivity, and refractive index. Notably, reflectivity was found to be minimal in the photon energy range of 0.0-3.0 eV, and the static refractive index, n(0), ranged from 1.55 to 1.70. The research also involved assessing the reactivity of the compounds through calculation of the frontier orbital energy gaps (ΔE), indicating a significant charge transfer and high reactivity. Additionally, we performed frequency analysis to unveil the Fourier-transform infrared spectra of compounds 1-5 at room temperature. Molecular electrostatic potential surfaces of the optimized structures were employed to map the electrophilic and nucleophilic regions of the compounds. This investigation provides a comprehensive understanding of the electronic and optical properties of these pyridine derivatives, shedding light on their potential applications in optoelectronics.

Combined FTIR/Raman spectroscopic studies and ab initio electronic structure calculations of Dithiothreitol

A total of seven minimum energy geometries were obtained on exploring the conformational landscape of dithiothreitol (DTT) by varying the prominent dihedral angles in the molecule through a relaxed scan with a step size of 5° at B3LYP/cc-pVTZ with further geometry optimization at CCSD/cc-pVDZ level of theory. Single point energies were calculated for all the conformers at CCSD(T)/CBS limit with cc-pVNZ (N = T, Q) level of theory and revealed the similar energy pattern. The two conformers, namely G'TG'1 and G'TT, were found iso-energic even though they differed in their structure significantly and were of the lowest energy compared to others. Energies corresponding to the cyclic as well as other configurational counterpart of the global minimum were found much higher in energy compared to the global minimum structure. Intramolecular sulfur centered hydrogen bond was seen to stabilize the global minimum structure of DTT as revealed by AIM, NBO, FMO and ESP charge analysis.

Sulfur Centered Hydrogen Bonding in Thioglycolic Acid and Its Clusters: A Computational Exploration

The conformational landscape of thioglycolic acid (TGA) was investigated by using the CCSD/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The GGC conformer was identified as the global minimum, followed by the GAC conformer. The calculated rotational constant for the GGC conformer exhibited good agreement with the previously reported experimental results.

These clusters revealed the participation of both oxygen and sulfur atoms in noncovalent H-bonding, contributing to their stability. The presence of these noncovalent interactions in TGA clusters was elucidated through Atoms in Molecule (AIM), reduced density gradient (RDG), and natural bond order (NBO) analysis, while electrostatic potential (ESP) charge and vibrational mode analysis further supported these findings.

To dimerize or not: para-aminothiophenol on a bismuth heterostructure

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) was investigated on β-Bi₂O₃/Bi₂O₂CO₃ nanoparticles, a novel bismuth based metal substrate with the lowest limit of detection of 1 mM.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the PW91PW91/LANL2DZ/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory supported the experimental results exceedingly well. Also, the charge transfer direction from PATP to β-Bi₂O₃/Bi₂O₂CO₃ nanoparticles was revealed by the projected density of states calculation.

As an extension of our research against COVID-19, a multiphase in silico approach was applied in the selection of the three most common inhibitors (Glycyrrhizoflavone (76), Arctigenin (94), and Thiangazole (298)) against papain-like protease, PLpro (PDB ID: 4OW0), among 310 metabolites of natural origin. All compounds of the exam set were reported as antivirals. The structural similarity between the examined compound set and S88, the co-crystallized ligand of PLpro, was examined through structural similarity and fingerprint studies. The two experiments pointed to Brevicollin (28), Cryptopleurine (41), Columbamine (46), Palmatine (47), Glycyrrhizoflavone (76), Licochalcone A (87), Arctigenin (94), Termilignan (98), Anolignan B (99), 4,5-dihydroxy-6″-deoxybromotopsentin (192), Dercitin (193), Tryptanthrin (200), 6-Cyano-5-methoxy-12-methylindolo [2, 3A] carbazole (211), Thiangazole (298), and Phenoxan (300). The binding ability against PLpro was screened through molecular docking, disclosing the favorable binding modes of six metabolites. ADMET studies expected molecules 28, 76, 94, 200, and 298 as the most favorable metabolites. Then, molecules 76, 94, and 298 were chosen through in silico toxicity studies. Finally, DFT studies were carried out on glycyrrhizoflavone (76) and indicated a high level of similarity in the molecular orbital analysis. The obtained data can be used in further in vitro and in vivo studies to examine and confirm the inhibitory effect of the filtered metabolites against PLpro and SARS-CoV-2.

A Multistage In Silico Study of Natural Potential Inhibitors Targeting SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease

Among a group of 310 natural antiviral natural metabolites, our team identified three compounds as the most potent natural inhibitors against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (PDB ID: 5R84), Mpro. The identified compounds are sattazolin and caprolactin A and B. A validated multistage in silico study was conducted using several techniques. First, the molecular structures of the selected metabolites were compared with that of GWS, the co-crystallized ligand of Mpro, in a structural similarity study. The aim of this study was to determine the thirty most similar metabolites (10%) that may bind to the Mpro similar to GWS. Then, molecular docking against Mpro and pharmacophore studies led to the choice of five metabolites that exhibited good binding modes against the Mpro and good fit values against the generated pharmacophore model. Among them, three metabolites were chosen according to ADMET studies. The most promising Mpro inhibitor was determined by toxicity and DFT studies to be caprolactin A (292). Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies were performed for caprolactin A to confirm the obtained results and understand the thermodynamic characteristics of the binding. It is hoped that the accomplished results could represent a positive step in the battle against COVID-19 through further in vitro and in vivo studies on the selected compounds.

Papain-like protease is an essential enzyme in the proteolytic processing required for the replication of SARS-CoV-2. Accordingly, such an enzyme is an important target for the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents which may reduce the mortality associated with outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2. A set of 69 semi-synthesized molecules that exhibited the structural features of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease inhibitors (PLPI) were docked against the coronavirus papain-like protease (PLpro) enzyme (PDB ID: (4OW0). Docking studies showed that derivatives 34 and 58 were better than the co-crystallized ligand while derivatives 17, 28, 31, 40, 41, 43, 47, 54, and 65 exhibited good binding modes and binding free energies. The pharmacokinetic profiling study was conducted according to the four principles of the Lipinski rules and excluded derivative 31. Furthermore, ADMET and toxicity studies showed that derivatives 28, 34, and 47 have the potential to be drugs and have been demonstrated as safe when assessed via seven toxicity models. Finally, comparing the molecular orbital energies and the molecular electrostatic potential maps of 28, 34, and 47 against the co-crystallized ligand in a DFT study indicated that 28 is the most promising candidate to interact with the target receptor (PLpro).

Conformational stability and structural analysis of methanethiol clusters: a revisit

B3LYP/cc-pV(D/T/Q)Z and CCSD/cc-pVDZ levels of theory predict three minima for both dimers and trimers of methanethiol. Predictions at B3LYP/cc-pVDZ corroborates exceedingly well with the earlier reported experimental value but significantly differ from the previous computational predictions. Interaction energy between the molecules decreases with an increase in the size of the basis set for both the dimer and trimer. The dipole moment of methanethiol dimer gets reduced at the B3LYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory relative to all minima configurations, and the same is seen for trimer also. These new predictions are well supported by atoms in molecules (AIM), frontier molecular orbital (FMO), Mulliken charge (MC), and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.

The theoretical vibrational frequencies and optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles) have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP: Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr and DFT/M06-2X: highly parameterized, empirical exchange correlation function) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set by Gaussian 03 software, for the first time. The assignments of the vibrational frequencies have been done by potential energy distribution (PED) analysis using VEDA 4 software. The theoretical optimized geometric parameters and vibrational frequencies have been found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data and results in the literature. In addition, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy and the other related molecular energy values of the compound have been investigated using the same theoretical calculations.

1-Pentamethylbenzyl-3-(n)buthylbenzimidazolesilver(I)bromide complex: synthesis, characterization and DFT calculations

A novel NHC complex of silver(I) ion, 1-pentamethylbenzyl-3-(n)buthylbenzimidazolesilver(I)bromide, was prepared and fully characterized by single crystal X-ray structure determination. FT-IR, NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies were employed to investigate the electronic transition behaviors of the complex. Additionally, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) (1)H and (13)C chemical shift and electronic transition values of silver(I) complex were calculated by using density functional theory levels (B3LYP and PBE1PBE) with LANL2DZ basis set. Also, the vibrational frequencies were supported on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) analysis calculated for PBE1PBE level. We were also investigated total static dipole moment (μ), the mean polarizability (〈α〉), the anisotropy of the polarizability (Δα), the mean first-order hyperpolarizability (〈β〉) of the title complex. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed to determine the presence of hyperconjugative interactions, and charge distributions.

The assignments of the vibrational frequencies have been done by potential energy distribution (PED) analysis by using VEDA 4 software. The theoretical optimized geometric parameters and vibrational frequencies have been found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data, and with the results in the literature. In addition, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies and the other related molecular energy values have been calculated and depicted.

Structural, antimicrobial and computational characterization of 1-benzoyl-3-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)thiourea

A new thiourea derivative, 1-benzoyl-3-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)thiourea (bcht) has been synthesized from the reaction of 2-amino-4-chlorophenol with benzoyl isothiocyanate. The title compound has been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, (13)C, (1)H NMR spectroscopy and the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of bcht derived from X-ray diffraction of a single crystal has been presented. The structural and spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated by using density functional method using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The complete assignments of all vibrational modes were performed on the basis of the total energy distributions (TED). Isotropic chemical shifts ((13)C NMR and (1)H NMR) were calculated using the gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Theoretical calculations of bond parameters, harmonic vibration frequencies and nuclear magnetic resonance are in good agreement with experimental results. The UV absorption spectra of the compound that dissolved in ACN and MeOH were recorded. Bcht was also screened for antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
