In order to identify the molecular structure and vibrational features of the prepared azocalix[4]arene, FT-IR and (1)H NMR spectral data have been used. FT-IR spectrum of the studied molecule is recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1). (1)H NMR spectrum is recorded for 0.1-0.2 M solutions in DMSO-d6 solution. The molecular geometry, infrared spectrum are calculated by the density functional method employing B3LYP level with different basis sets, including 6-31G(d) and LanL2DZ. The chemical shifts calculation for (1)H NMR of the title molecule is calculated by using by Gauge-Invariant Atomic Orbital method by utilizing the same basis sets. The total density of state, the partial density of state and the overlap population density of state diagram analysis are done via GaussSum 3.0 program. Frontier molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) and molecular electrostatic potential surface on the title molecule are carried out for various intramolecular interactions that are responsible for the stabilization of the molecule. The experimental results and theoretical calculations have been compared, and they are found to be in good agreement.

The triethylammonium, N(CH2CH3)3, molecule fill in the cavities between the C17H14F6O2PS2 molecule. Moreover, ab initio methods based on Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with the basis set of 6-31G(d) are also carried out to determine the molecular structural properties and to calculate FT-IR and NMR spectrum of the compound 2. The experimental results and theoretical calculations have been compared, and they are found to be in good agreement.

Theoretical study of the structure-properties relationship in new class of 2,5-di(2-thienyl)pyrrole compounds

Detailed studies of the structure-property relationships for conductive polymers are important for the proper understanding of the impact of morphological details on chemical and physical properties. This understanding is necessary for the development of realistic theoretical models. The particular cases of thienyl pyrroles are described. Ab initio methods based on Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with the basis set of 6-31G(d) are performed to determine the molecular structural properties and to calculate FT-IR and NMR spectrum of the title molecule. Moreover, assignments of the vibrational modes are made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED). Furthermore, the correlations between the observed and calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement with each other as well as the correlation of the NMR data. A comparison of the experimental and theoretical calculations can be very useful in making correct assignment and understanding the properties and molecular structure relations.

Synthesis and investigation of the properties of novel azocalix[4]arenes.

The azocalix[4]arenes molecules such as methylphenylazocalix[4]aren (MPcalix[4]) and methoxyphenylazocalix[4]aren (MOPcalix[4]) have been synthesized and characterized by experimental FT-IR and (1)H NMR spectral analyses. The fundamental vibrational transitions have been addressed by experimental FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) technique and density functional theory (DFT) employing B3LYP level with the 6-31G(d) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. The (1)H NMR spectra of the studied compounds have been recorded in chloroform, and compared with computed data obtained by using gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Furthermore, thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, entropy, and enthalpy changes) and frontier molecular orbitals of the molecules in the ground state have been calculated by using the same method and basis sets. The non-linear optical properties such as the first order hyperpolarizability (β0), related properties (α0 and Δα) are also computed. Information about the charge density distribution of the molecules and its chemical reactivity has been studied by mapping molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPs). The scaled vibrational frequency values have been compared with experimental FT-IR spectroscopic data. The correlations between the observed and calculated frequencies are in good agreement with each other as well as the correlation of NMR data. The linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability of the studied molecules indicate that the compounds are a good candidate of nonlinear optical materials.

The optimized molecular structure and harmonic vibrational frequencies are studied by using B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) method. Moreover, electronic structures are investigated by using the time dependent density functional theory (TD–DFT) while the energy changes of the parent compounds are examined in a solvent medium by using the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Additionally, the frontier molecular orbital analysis is performed for the Schiff base compounds. The electronic properties of each compound such as; chemical hardness, chemical softness, ionization potential, electron affinity, electronegativity and chemical potential are investigated by utilizing the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies.
