the structural and energetic characteristics of o3–h2o complexes have been investigated by means of b3lyp, mp2, mp4(sdtq), ccsd(t) and qcisd(t) methods in conjunction with the aug-cc-pvdz and aug-cc-pvtz basis sets. six conformers were found for the o3–h2o complex. two different intermolecular interactions were expected to participate in the formation of complexes, namely conventional o∙∙∙h hyd...

A hierarchical quantitative structure-activity relationship (HiQSAR) approach was used to estimate toxicity and genetic toxicity for a set of 55 halocarbons using computed chemodescriptors. The descriptors consisted of topostructural (TS), topochemical (TC), geometrical, semiempirical (AM1) quantum chemical, and ab initio (STO-3G, 6-31G(d), 6-311G, 6-311G(d), and aug-cc-pVTZ) quantum chemical i...

A statistical methodology was applied to the simultaneous calibration and validation of thermodynamic models for the uptake of CO2 in mesoporous silica-supported amines. The methodology is Bayesian, and follows the procedure introduced by Kennedy and O'Hagan. One key aspect of the application presented is the use of quantum chemical calculations to define prior probability distributions for phy...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and Density functional theory (DFT) methods were applied to the two thiocarbohydrazides derivatives (T1 and T2) as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in aqueous phase. Experimental results have shown that the corrosion rate follows the below order: T1>T2. Quantum chemical parameters such as hardness (η), electrophilicity (ω),polarizability (α), dipole momen...

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...

In this study, an  organic compound  inhibitor, namely N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-amine (NBTA), was synthesized and the role of this inhibitor for corrosion protection of stainless steel (SS) exposed to 0.5 M H2SO4 was investigated using electrochemical, and quantum analysis. By taking advantage of potentiodynamic polarization, the inhibitory action of NBTA was found t...

Three thiosemicarbazides, namely 2-(2-aminophenyl)-N phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (AP4PT), N,2-diphenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (D4PT) and 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-phenyl hydrazinecarbothioamide (HP4PT), were investigated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in H(2)SO(4) solution using gravimetric and gasometric methods. The results revealed that they all inhibit corrosion and their % inhibition...

The effects of seven macrocyclic compounds comprising four phthalocyanines (Pcs) namely 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octabutoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc1), 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc2), 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc3) and 29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc4), and three naphthalocyanines namely 5,9,14,18,23,27,32,36-octabutoxy-2,3-naphthalocyanine...

Quantum computing is the field of science that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. The fundamental information unit used in quantum computing is the quantum bit or qubit. It is well-known that quantum computers could theoretically be able to solve problems much more quickly than any classical computers. Currently, the first a...

The spectral parameters of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra are dependent on the chemical environment around the nuclei, making NMR spectroscopy a powerful method for studying molecular structure and dynamics at the atomic level. Conversely, the spectral parameters can be calculated if one knows the molecular structure. The spectral parameter prediction plays a key role in many appl...
