Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was applied to study stability of the molecule arising from charge delocalization. UV-Vis spectrum of the title compound was also recorded and the electronic properties, such as Frontier orbitals and band gap energies were measured by TD-DFT approach. Total and partial density of state (TDOS and PDOS) and also overlap population density of state (OPDOS) diagrams analysis were presented.

Abstract Spectrophotometric studies on the charge transfer interaction of 2,3 dichloro 5,6 dicyano p -benzoquinone with various hydrocarbons have been carried out in chloroform.

The singlet—triplet transition of some of hydrocarbons has been bound to be coincident with the charge transfer bands. Charge transfer spectra of all the systems studied are given and from it λ max ϵ max and k c , have been determined.

Spectral features, electric properties, NBO analysis and reactivity descriptors of 2-(2-Benzothiazolylthio)-Ethanol: Combined experimental and DFT studies.

Quantum chemical calculations of ground state energy, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers, nuclear magnetic behaviors, electronic absorption spectra along with the nonlinear optical properties of 2-(2-benzothiazolylthio)-ethanol (BTZTE) were carried out using density functional (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) as basis set. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra were measured in the condensed state. The fundamental vibrational wavenumbers as well as their intensities were calculated, and a good correlation between experimental and scaled calculated wavenumbers was accomplished. The electric dipole moment, polarizability and the first hyperpolarizability values of the BTZTE were calculated at the same level of theory and basis set. The results show that the BTZTE molecule possesses nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior with non-zero values. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper-conjugative interactions and charge delocalization was analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. UV spectrum of the studied molecule was recorded in the region 200-500nm and the electronic properties were predicted by time-dependent DFT approach. The calculated transition energies are in good concurrency with the experimental data.

The thermodynamic properties of the studied compound at different temperatures were calculated. Global and local reactivity descriptors were computed to predict reactivity and reactive sites on the molecule.

A Combined theoretical and experimental study of conformational and spectroscopic profile of 2-acetamido-5-aminopyridine.

Present work aims at identifying the conformational and spectroscopic profile of 2-acetamido-5-aminopyridine compound by means of experimental and computational methods. To achieve this, three-dimensional potential energy scan (PES) was performed by varying the selected dihedral angles at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory and thus stable conformers of the title compound were determined. The most stable conformer was further optimized at higher level and vibrational wavenumbers were calculated. Experimentally, vibrational features of title compound were determined by FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopic methods in the solid phase while the electronic absorption spectrum was recorded in methanol solution. On the basis of these investigations, the conformational and spectroscopic attributes of 2-acetamido-5-aminopyridine were interpreted.

NLO properties like the dipole moment, polarizability, first static hyperpolarizability, molecular electrostatic potential surface and contour map have been calculated to get a better cognizance of the properties of the title molecule. Natural bond orbital analysis has been applied to estimate the stability of the molecule arising from charge delocalization.

Abstract Charge transfer complexes of iodine with nicotinamide and nicotinnitrile have been studied spectrophotometrically. An isobestic point occurring at 467 mμ and 474 mμ in the iodine amide and iodine nitrile systems have been observed. The λmax for the two system of complexes is found to be at 414 mμ and 428 mμ respectively in the blue shifted band of the iodine. Out of the two sites for the interaction, the nitrogen atom of the pyridine nucleus has been considered to be the site for interaction.
