Expressions for the calculation of rotatory strengths using algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) scheme polarization propagator in both length and velocity gauges have been implemented. This enables simulation electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra at ADC level up to third order perturbation theory. The ADC(n) methods produce comparable accuracy those obtained with coupled cluster cor...

This paper has reported some theoretical results for the geometry optimization in ground state (S0) and first excited (S1), frontier molecular orbitals, global chemical reactivity descriptor, states, absorption emission spectra gas phase aqueous solution of protonated Adenosine diphosphate molecule. Also, intramolecular proton transfer process was between O37-H38∙∙∙N13 bonds. Then, obtained hav...

Substituted oligothiophenes have a long history in the field of organic electronics, as they often combine outstanding electro-optical properties with the ease of synthesis. To assist the rational selection of the most promising structures to be synthesized, there is the demand for tools that allow prediction of the properties of the materials. In this study, we present strategies for synthesis...

The extensive computation study was done to elucidate the mechanism of formation dibromoepoxide from cyclohexanone and bromoform. In this reaction, the formation of dihaloepoxide 2 is postulated as a key step that determines the distribution and stereochemistry of products. Two mechanistic paths of reaction were investigated: the addition of dibromocarbene to carbonyl group of ketone, and the a...

The optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) and circular dichroism of the conformationally flexible carvone molecule has been investigated in 17 solvents and compared with results from calculations for the "free" (gas phase) molecule. The G3 method was used to determine the relative energies of the six conformers. The optical rotation of (R)-(-)-carvone at 589 nm was calculated using coupled cluster ...

The solvation of alanine is investigated, with a focus on adding a sufficient number of discrete water molecules to determine the first solvation shell for both the nonionized (N) and zwitterionic (Z) forms to converge the enthalpy of solvation and the enthalpy difference for the two forms of alanine. Monte Carlo sampling was employed using the generalized effective fragment potential (EFP) met...

We report scalar relativistic and Dirac scattered wave (DSW) calculations on the heptacyanorhenate [Re(CN)7](3-) and Re(CN)7(4-) complexes. Both the ground and lowest excited states of each complex split by spin-orbit interaction by about 0.3 eV. The calculated molecular electronegativities chi indicate that the open-shell complex is less reactive than the closed-shell complex, in agreement wit...

The binding of disulfides to gold nanoparticles was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and a perylene-monoimide dye coupled to a dissymmetric disulfide via a tetraethyleneglycolalkyl chain (PMImSS). Quantum chemical calculations using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) predict a strong quenching of perylene-monoimide fluorescence by gold nanoparticles as a result of efficient excit...

The solvated supermolecular approach, i.e., block-localized wave function coupled with polarizable continuum model (BLW/PCM), was proposed to calculate molecular ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA) in the solid phase, and related electronic polarization. Via the calculations of a solvated supermolecule (5M), including four closest molecules, BLW/PCM overcomes the limitation in the...

In separation processes, hydrogen bonding has a very significant effect on the efficiency of isolation of acetic acid (HOAc) from HOAc/H2O mixtures. This intermolecular interaction on aggregates composed of a single HOAc molecule and varying numbers of H2O molecules has been examined by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD) and quantum chemical calculations (QCC). Thermodynamic ...
