Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization (FT-IR, NMR, UV), NPA, NBO, NLO, Thermochemical Analysis and Molecular Docking Studies of 2-((4-hydroxyphenyl)(piperidin-1-yl)methyl)phenol

In this study, a new alkylaminophenol compound was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, NMR, UV). The optimized molecular geometry and the vibrational wavenumbers were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/WB97XD and HF methods with 6-311++ G([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) basis set. Thus, theoretical data were compared within themselves before comparing with experimental data. The detailed interpretation of the vibrational spectra has been carried out by VEDA program. 1H-NMR and [Formula: see text]C-NMR chemical shifts of the compound were calculated using GIAO/IEFPCM method in CDCl3. Using time-dependent (TD-DFT) approach electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies, the electronic spectrum of the title compound has been studied and reported. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Linear polarizability, anisotropic linear polarizability and hyperpolarizability values of the title compound were found to be higher than the values of the pNA compound that are used as a standard substance in the NLO analysis. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), the thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, entropy and enthalpy) were calculated. Also, to investigate the biological properties of the title compound, molecular docking was done with DNA(PDB ID: 414D). It has been observed that the effective interaction is hydrogen bonds.

A DFT Study on the Adsorption of H₂S and SO₂ on Ni Doped MoS₂ Monolayer

In this paper, a Ni-doped MoS₂ monolayer (Ni-MoS₂) has been proposed as a novel gas adsorbent to be used in SF₆-insulated equipment. Based on the first-principles calculation, the adsorption properties of Ni-MoS₂ to SO₂ and H₂S molecules, the main decomposition components of SF₆ under a partial discharge (PD) condition have been studied. The adsorption energy, charge transfer, and structural parameters have been analyzed to find the most stable gas-adsorbed Ni-MoS₂. Furthermore, the density of states (DOS), projected density of states (PDOS), and electron density difference were employed to explore the interaction mechanism between SO₂, H₂S, and the Ni-MoS₂ surface. It is found that the H₂S molecule and SO₂ molecule interact with the Ni-MoS₂ surface by strong adsorption energy. Therefore, we conclude that the interaction between these two kinds of gases and the Ni-MoS₂ monolayer belongs to chemisorption, and the Ni-MoS₂ monolayer might be a promising gas adsorbent for the fault recovery of SF₆-insulated equipment. Additionally, we have to point out that all of the conclusions only considered the final adsorption energy, the barrier in the transition state has not been analyzed in this paper.

The geometric parameters, chemical shifts, FTIR, NMR and orbital overlap population along with DOS (density of states) to know different kinds of interactions for binding of copper atom with (E)-4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl) diazenyl)-N, N bis ((pyridin-2-yl) methyl) benzamine to form its copper complex has been reported by DFT methods. The theoretically predicted values for structural parameters are in agreement with the experimentally reported values. NMR chemical shifts calculated using B3LYP/DFT/GIAO level of theory gives information about binding of copper atom with three nitrogen atoms namely N (3, 8 and 11). Orbital overlap population analysis using DFT/B3LYP/SDD level of theory is used to study the kind of interactions involved in binding of copper with the three nitrogen atoms. DOS studies are done to know about the contribution of alpha, beta electrons to the valence and conduction band. IR spectroscopy investigations gave the absorption bands for the formation of title compound. Electronic spectrum along with HOMO-LUMO energies of the title compound has been investigated using Time-dependent (TD-DFT) approach.
