Ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional theory study on characterization of 3-(5-methylthiazol-2-yldiazenyl)-2-phenyl-1H-indole

The optimized molecular structures, vibrational frequencies, corresponding vibrational assignments, thermodynamic properties, UV-vis spectra and atomic charges of 3-(5-methylthiazol-2-yldiazenyl)-2-phenyl-1H-indole molecule have been investigated using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (B3LYP) methods at 6-31G (d,p) basis set. The obtained bond lengths and bond angles have been seen to be good agreement with the experimental data. After calculated vibrational frequencies have been compared with each other, the correlation coefficient has been determined. Moreover, we have not only simulated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) but also determined the transition state and energy band gap. Infrared intensities and Raman activities have been also reported.

Ab initio vibrational and dielectric properties of chalcopyrite CuInS 2

Abstract:We have performed a first-principles study of structural, dynamical, and dielectric properties of the chalcopyrite semiconductor CuInS2. The calculations have been carried out within the local density functional approximation using norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis. Born effective charge tensors, dielectric permitivity tensors, the phonon frequencies at the Brillouin zone center and mode oscillator strengths are calculated using density functional perturbation theory. The calculated properties agree with infrared and Raman measurements.

Density functional theory study on the identification of 3-[(2-morpholinoethylimino)methyl]benzene-1,2-diol

This study deals with the identification of a title compound, 3-[(2-morpholinoethylimino)methyl]benzene-1,2-diol by means of quantum chemical calculations. The optimized molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments, thermodynamic properties, charge analyses, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra of the title molecule in the ground state were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) with the standard B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method and basis set combination for the first time. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis based on scaled density functional force field. The results show that the obtained optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths, bond angles and bond dihedrals) and vibrational frequencies were observed to be in good agreement with the available experimental results. Moreover, the calculations of the electronic spectra, (13)C and (1)H chemical shifts were compared with the experimental ones. Furthermore, we not only simulated the frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) but also determined the transition states and energy band gaps, as well. It was found that charge analyses supported the evidences of MEP. Infrared intensities and Raman activities were also reported.

Experimental and theoretical studies on the identification of p-biphenyloxycarbonylphenyl acrylate

This study presents the identification of a title compound, p-biphenyloxycarbonylphenyl acrylate by means of experimental and theoretical evidences. The spectroscopic properties of the compound were experimentally investigated by Fourier transformation-infrared spectra (in the region 400-4000 cm(-1)) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts (with a frequency of 400 MHz). Moreover, the optimized molecular structures, vibrational frequencies including infrared intensities and Raman activities, corresponding vibrational spectra interpreted with the aid of normal coordinate analysis based on scaled density functional force field, thermodynamic properties, atomic charges and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectra were analyzed utilizing ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) methods at 6-31G(d,p) calculation level. It was found that the vibrational frequencies and chemical shifts obtained were shown to have a good agreement with available experimental results. We not only simulated frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) but also evaluated the transition state and energy band gap clearly.

First-principles electronic structure and lattice dynamics of the giant dielectric compound Na0.5Bi0.5Cu3Ti4O12

We report the results of an ab initio study of electronic, dielectric, and lattice dynamical properties of high dielectric constant perovskite-derived oxide Na1/2Bi1/2Cu3Ti4O12. The calculations have been carried out within the local spin density functional approximation using norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis. The ground state is found to be an antiferromagnetic direct band gap semiconductor. Lattice dynamical properties, such as Born effective charge tensors, dielectric permittivity tensors, and phonon frequencies at the Brillouin zone center were calculated using density functional perturbation theory and found to be similar to the more studied CaCu3Ti4O12 and CdCu3Ti4O12 compounds. The calculated electronic () and static (0≈150) dielectric constants indicate that the observed high dielectric constant is extrinsic in origin. The main contribution to the static dielectric constant is found to be due to a low frequency (50 cm−1) infrared-active mode which has a large mode effective charge.
