Conformation and vibrational spectroscopic analysis of 2,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3-dimethylpiperidin-4-one (BFDP) by DFT method: A potent anti-Parkinson's, anti-lung cancer, and anti-human infectious agent

The potential of 2,6-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3-dimethylpiperidin-4-one (BFDP) as an anti-Parkinson's, anti-lung cancer, and anti-human infectious agent was extensively assessed in the current study. To accomplish this, the compound BFDP was synthesised and analysed using several spectroscopic approaches, such as NMR, mass and FT-IR spectral studies. The computational calculations for the molecule were carried out using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G++ (d,p) level of theory. A X-ray diffraction (XRD) study allows us to analyse the crystalline structure of our BFDP molecule. Intermolecular interactions were assessed using 3D Hirshfeld surfaces (3D-HS) and 2D fingerprint plots. AIM and NCI-RDG were done using quantum calculations and the DFT technique, and topological ELF and LOL, as well as vibrational parameters, have been obtained. The thermodynamic and thermal properties of the BFDP compound were determined. To investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of BFDP, a molecular docking study and an in silico ADMET study were done.

Structural, electronic, intermolecular interaction, reactivity, vibrational spectroscopy, charge transfer, Hirshfeld surface analysis, pharmacological and hydropathy plot on 5-Bromo nicotinic acid - Antiviral study (Hepatitis A, B, and C)

The therapeutic properties of 5-Bromonicotinatic acid (5BNA) were studied for antiviral illnesses like Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and the influence of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing properties of functional groups on the nicotinic acid was evaluated and represented in this study using the DFT approach. The molecular parameters were determined for both gases as well as for various solvent phases. The reactive areas in the compound are examined utilising Fukui analysis. The molecular interactions are accomplished by recognising the different types of bonding found in the compound using the AIM, ELF, LOL, RDG and IRI. Solvation investigations were demonstrated to have an influence on molecular orbital energy, ESP, UV-Vis and NLO analyses. Electron-hole, NBO and Hirshfeld investigations are used to investigate the transfer of charges and interactions inside the molecule. The method of vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman) is used to differentiate and identify the various types of vibrations displayed by the compound. The hydropathy plots for the proteins 2A4O, 6CWD and 2OC8 associated with Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C illustrate the disquiet and attraction of the amino acids towards the water.

Effect of solvents on intra- and inter-molecular interactions of oligothiophenes

CONTEXT

Oligothiophenes have long been used as model compounds to understand the chemistry of polythiophenes. Herein, we have some quantum chemical calculations and intra- and inter-molecular interaction calculations of a series of oligothiophenes such as terthiophene, quintetthiophene, sevensthiophene, terthiophene-terthiophene, terthiophene-water, terthiophene-methanol, and terthiophene-chloroform performed by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), density functional theory (DFT), and Multiwfn: a multifunctional wavefunction analyzer. The UV-vis spectra, HOMO-LUMO energies, NBO analysis, MEP, molecular structures, and electronic properties were computed using DFT/TD-DFT at the level of B3LYP/6-31+ G (d,p) and described. The nature of molecular interactions between terthiophene and solvents like water, methanol, and chloroform were also investigated using non-covalent interaction index (NCI), reduced density gradient (RDG), localized orbital locator (LOL), and electron localization function (ELF) topological analyses. Besides, Fukui functions and energy of population density-of-states were computed using the same method. The calculation results show that there are some changes in the terthiophene with the addition of solvent to the medium.

METHODS

DFT calculations were performed using the Gaussian 09 software and GaussView 5.0 visulation program. Multiwfn software is used to calculate the reduced density gradient (RDG) scatterplots, non-covalent interactions (NCI), ELF, LOL, Fukui analysis, and energy of population density-of-states of oligothiophenes.

Intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions in the thiourea/water complexes (Thio-(H2O)n) (n = 1, …, 5): X-ray, DFT, NBO, AIM, and RDG analyses

This study aims to experimentally and theoretically examine the nature and energy of intermolecular bond interactions between thiourea and water molecules using natural bond orbital (NBO), non-linear optical (NLO), atoms in molecules (AIM), and reduced density gradient (RDG) analyses based on the quantum chemical approach and spectroscopic analysis on X-ray and FTIR. Geometry optimizations of Thio-(H₂O)_1-5 complexes were carried out in the gas phase by B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of density functional theory. The nature of the molecular interactions between the water and thiourea through hydrogen bonding has been investigated using RDG and AIM methods. NBO analysis shows that the Thio-(H₂O)₅ complex has higher stabilization energy values than the other complexes. The non-linear optical properties, such as dipole moment (μ), the polarizability (α₀), and the first hyperpolarizability (β_tot), and thermodynamic functions, such as entropy (S), specific heat capacity (C_v), and thermal energy (E), were calculated using the same method. It was observed that thermodynamic parameters, polarizability, and the first hyperpolarizability increased with the number of water molecules. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that thiourea is single crystal, and the thiourea/water complexes are crystalline in nature. Besides, the infrared spectrum shows the existence of water molecules and it is used to get details of the structure of the complex.

Structural dynamics of nitrosylruthenium isomeric complexes studied with steady-state and transient pump-probe infrared spectroscopies

The characteristic nitrosyl stretching (NO) in the region of 1800-1900cm(-1) was used to study the geometric and ligand effect on two nitrosylruthenium complexes, namely [Ru(OAc)(2QN)2NO] (QN=2-chloro-8-quinolinol (H2cqn) or QN=2-methyl-8-quinolinol (H2mqn)). The NO stretching frequency (νNO) was found in the following order: νcis-1 (2cqn)>νcis-2 (2cqn)>νcis-1 (2mqn)>νtrans (2mqn). The results exhibited a spectral sensitivity of the NO mode to both charge distribution and ligand arrangement, which was supported by ab initio computations and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses. Further, the vibrational population of the vibrationally excited NO stretching mode was found to relax on the order of 7-10ps, showing less than 30% variation from one isomer to another, which were explained on the basis of NO local structures and solute-solvent interactions in these isomeric nitrosylruthenium complexes.

Thermodynamic parameter like entropy and enthalpy are calculated and these values are increased with increasing the temperature due to the enhancement of vibrational intensities.

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra, MEP and HOMO-LUMO of 2,5-dichlorobenzonitrile: DFT study

The experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2,5-dichlorobenzonitrile molecule were recorded at room temperature, and the results compared with quantum chemical theoretical values using MP2 and DFT methods.

The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the molecule are calculated by the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with experimental results. UV-vis spectrum of the compound was recorded in methanol solvent. The TD-DFT calculations have been performed to explore the influence of electronic absorption spectra in the gas phase, as well as in solution environment using PCM and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set.

Experimental and theoretical (FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV-vis, NMR) spectroscopic analysis and first order hyperpolarizability studies of non-linear optical material: (2E)-3-[4-(methylsulfanyl) phenyl]-1-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one using density functional theory

A combined experimental and theoretical investigation on FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR, UV-vis spectra of a chalcone derivative (2E)-3-[4-(methylsulfanyl) phenyl]-1-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (4N4MSP) has been reported. 4N4MSP has two planar rings connected through conjugated double bond and it provides a necessary configuration to show non-linear optical (NLO) response. The molecular structure, fundamental vibrational frequencies and intensity of the vibrational bands are interpreted with the aid of structure optimizations and normal coordinate force field calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set combination. The analysis of the fundamental modes was made with the help of potential energy distribution (PED). Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface was plotted over the geometry primarily for predicting sites and relative reactivities towards electrophilic and nucleophilic attack. The delocalization of electron density of various constituents of the molecule has been discussed with the aid of NBO analysis. The electronic properties, such as excitation energies, oscillator strength, wavelengths, HOMO and LUMO energies, were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the results complement the experimental findings. The recorded and calculated 1H chemical shifts in gas phase and MeOD solution are gathered for reliable calculations of magnetic properties. Thermodynamic properties like heat capacity (C°p,m), entropy (S°m), enthalpy (H°m) have been calculated for the molecule at the different temperatures. Based on the finite-field approach, the non-linear optical (NLO) parameters such as dipole moment, mean polarizability, anisotropy of polarizability and first order hyperpolarizability of 4N4MSP molecule are calculated. The predicted first hyperpolarizability shows that the molecule has a reasonably good nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior.
