Density functional (DFT) calculations at M05-2x/aug-cc-pVDZ level were used to analyze the interactions between dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) dimers. The structures obtained have been analyzed with the Atoms in Molecules (AIMs) and Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) methodologies. Four minima were located on the potential energy surface of the dimers. Three types of interactions are observed, CH•••O, CH•••...

In this investigation, the interaction of C20 and Si2H2 molecules was explored in the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p)level of theory in gas solution phases. The obtained interaction energy values with standard method werecorrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules atthe same level of theory. Also, the bonding interaction between th...

Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are highly poisonous and their presence may cause diverse effects not only on living organisms but also environment. Therefore, detection removal in a short time span is very important. In this regard, here the utility of graphdiyne (GDY) nanoflake studied theoretically as an electrochemical sensor material for hazardous CWAs including A-230, A-232, A-234. Herein,...

A theoretical study of rotational collision of LiH(X(1)Σ(+),v = 0, J) with Ar has been carried out. The ab initio potential energy surface (PES) describing the interaction between the Ar atom and the rotating LiH molecule has been calculated very accurately and already discussed in our previous work [Computational and Theoretical Chemistry 993 (2012) 20-25]. This PES is employed to evaluate the...

      In this study, the interaction between NO2+ cation and Hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. The first and second solvation shells were obtained while N atom of NO2+ interacts with five and two He atoms, respectively. Stabilizat...

accurate quantum chemical computations based on density functional theory (dft) were performed on the series of 2-(4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylthio)-n-acetamide (tta) derivatives. the local reactivity of the acetamide derivatives as anti-hiv drugs were studied in terms of fukui functions in the framework of dft. the results based on the basis set superposition error (bsse) correcti...

The present study focuses on important questions associated with modeling of peptide and protein stability. Computing at different levels of theory (RHF, B3LYP) for a representative ensemble of conformers of di- and tripeptides of alanine, we found that the Gibbs Free Energy values correlate significantly with the total electronic energy of the molecules (0.922 < or = R2). For noncovalently att...

A series of buckybowls with different sizes and structures have been tested as potential receptors of fullerenes C60, C70 and C40. Among these bowls are corannulene (C20H10), sumanene (C21H12), pinakene (C28H14), hemifullerene (C30H12), circumtrindene (C36H12), pentaindenocorannulene (C50H20) and bowl-shaped hexabenzocoronene derivatives. An exhaustive study, taking into account different orien...

in this study, the interaction between no2+ cation and hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at mp2/aug-cc-pvtz and qcisd/aug-cc-pvtz computational levels. the first and second solvation shells were obtained while n atom of no2+ interacts with five and two he atoms, respectively. stabilization energies of the studied complexes including basis set superpositio...
