NBO, conformational, NLO, HOMO-LUMO, NMR and electronic spectral study on 1-phenyl-1-propanol by quantum computational methods

In this study, FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV spectra of 1-phenyl-1-propanol, an intermediate of anti-depressant drug fluoxetine, has been investigated. The theoretical vibrational frequencies and optimized geometric parameters have been calculated by using HF and density functional theory with the hybrid methods B3LYP, B3PW91 and 6-311+G(d,p)/6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The theoretical vibrational frequencies have been found in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data. (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra were recorded and chemical shifts of the molecule were compared to TMS by using the Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method. A study on the electronic and optical properties, absorption wavelengths, excitation energy, dipole moment and frontier molecular orbital energies are performed using HF and DFT methods. The thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, entropy and enthalpy) at different temperatures are also calculated. NBO analysis is carried out to picture the charge transfer between the localized bonds and lone pairs. The local reactivity of the molecule has been studied using the Fukui function. NLO properties related to polarizability and hyperpolarizability are also discussed.

Vibrational spectroscopic studies, NLO, HOMO–LUMO and electronic structure calculations of α,α,α-trichlorotoluene using HF and DFT

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of α,α,α-trichlorotoluene have been recorded and analyzed. The geometry, fundamental vibrational frequencies are interpreted with the aid of structure optimizations and normal coordinate force field calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method and a comparative study between HF level and various basis sets combination. The fundamental vibrational wavenumbers as well as their intensities were calculated and a good agreement between observed and scaled calculated wavenumbers has been achieved. The complete vibrational assignments of wavenumbers are made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED). The effects due to the substitutions of methyl group and halogen were investigated. The absorption energy and oscillator strength are calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The electric dipole moment, polarizability and the first hyperpolarizability values of the α,α,α-trichlorotoluene have been calculated. (1)H NMR chemical shifts were calculated by using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method with HF and B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Moreover, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and thermodynamic properties were performed. Mulliken and natural charges of the title molecule were also calculated and interpreted.

In this paper, the spectral analysis of 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene is carried out using the FTIR, FT Raman, FT NMR and UV-Vis spectra of the compound with the help of quantum mechanical computations using ab-initio and density functional theories. The FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman (4000-100 cm(-1)) spectra were recorded in solid phase, the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 solution phase and the UV-Vis (200-800 nm) spectrum was recorded in ethanol solution phase. The different conformers of the compound and their minimum energies are studied using B3LYP functional with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set and two stable conformers with lowest energy were identified and the same was used for further computations. The computed wavenumbers from different methods are scaled so as to agree with the experimental values and the scaling factors are reported. All the modes of vibrations are assigned and the structure the molecule is analyzed in terms of parameters like bond length, bond angle and dihedral angle predicted by both B3LYP and B3PW91 methods with 6-311+G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The values of dipole moment (μ), polarizability (α) and hyperpolarizability (β) of the molecule are reported, using which the non-linear property of the molecule is discussed. The HOMO-LUMO mappings are reported which reveals the different charge transfer possibilities within the molecule. The isotropic chemical shifts predicted for (1)H and (13)C atoms using gauge invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) theory show good agreement with experimental shifts. NBO analysis is carried out to picture the charge transfer between the localized bonds and lone pairs. The local reactivity of the molecule has been studied using the Fukui function. The thermodynamic properties (heat capacity, entropy and enthalpy) at different temperatures are also calculated.
