The capabilities and limitations of the Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) hybrid density functional are investigated as applied to studies of mixed-valent multinuclear oxomanganese complexes. Benchmark calculations involve the analysis of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of di-, tri- and tetra-nuclear Mn complexes, previously characterized both chemically and spectroscopically, includ...

In this study, the drug atenolol on C60 fullerene were the drug and its derivatives were optimized fullerene. NBO and NMR for complex computations required in the HF/6-31G (d) and B3LYP/6-31G (d) quantum chemistry method was used. Mechanical quantum calculations in theory level of B3LYP/6-31G were performed on structure of atenolol and nano fullerene atenolol with different positions...

We have examined the performance of semiempirical quantum mechanical methods in solving the problem of accurately predicting protein-ligand binding energies and geometries. Firstly, AM1 and PM3 geometries and binding enthalpies between small molecules that simulate typical ligand-protein interactions were compared with high level quantum mechanical techniques that include electronic correlation...

Photon-induced electronic excitations are ubiquitously observed in organic chromophore. In this context, we present a simple, alternative time-independent DFT procedure, for the computation of single-particle excitation energies, particular, lower bound excited singlet states, which primary interest photochemistry. This takes inspiration from recently developed Becke’s exciton model, where key ...

The heats of formation for the n-alkanes C(n)H(n+2) for n = 5, 6, and 8 have been calculated using ab initio molecular orbital theory. Coupled-cluster calculations with perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) were employed for the total valence electronic energies. Correlation-consistent basis sets were used, up through the augmented quadruple zeta, to extrapolate to the complete basis set limit. Geomet...

The relative stability of hydrogen-bonded of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex (1:2) ingas phase has been carried out using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The methods are usedfor calculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets: D95**and 6-31+G(d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; LANL2DZ for Mo and Phosphorus. Predictedhydrogen-bond geom...

A set of design rules for the prediction of relative stabilities of methoxy substituted naphthyl methyl carbocations are presented based on a series of DFT calculations. The peri-effect, over-crowding, substitutions on the ring carrying the CH(2)(+) group and substitution on the opposite ring are the principal factors that influence the stability of the carbocations. All of these factors have t...

one main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. in the present work, we replaced the ch group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. then, density functional theory (dft) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic si-n aromatic rings. full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at b3lyp level using 6-311++g(d,p) and cbsb7 basis ...

Picoplatin, cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2-picoline)], is a new promising anticancer agent undergoing clinical trials, which reveals high efficacy against many tumors and greatly reduced toxicity, in comparison to cisplatin. In this work, we present for the first time the Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectra of picoplatin, in the region of 3500-50 cm(-1). The comprehensive theoretical studies on the...

Excited states of two 7-aminocoumarin derivatives, coumarin 120 (7-amino-4-methylcoumarin) and coumarin 151 (7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), were investigated using generalized multiconfigurational quasidegenerate perturbation theory (GMC-QDPT), multiconfigurational quasidegenerate perturbation theory (MC-QDPT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the B3LYP and CAM-B3LY...
