Naphthoquinones are natural aromatic compounds that can be discovered in various plant families. In recent times a diversity of biological activities of these compounds has been reported. In most cases, these pharmacological activities are related to redox and acid-base properties, which can be modulated synthetically by modifying the substituents attached to the 1, 4- naphthoquinone ring, in o...

In this work, we have studied binding of Clonidine drug (C9H9Cl2N3) with zigzag single walled carbonnanotubes (SWCNT) (5, 0) by theoretical methods of theory using Gaussian 09 software package.Binding energies, NMR parameters and HOMO- LUMO Gap energy were calculated. Results frombinding energies indicate that it is possible thermodynamically to bind Clonidine drug to SWCNT.The calculated NMR p...

A recently developed methodology for calculating, analyzing, and visualizing nuclear magnetic shielding densities is used studying spatial contributions including ring-current to 1H resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of aromatic anti-aromatic free-base porphyrinoids. Our approach allows a visual inspection the origin positive (shielding) negative (deshielding) constants. Diatropic paratropic curre...

Paramagnetic, or open-shell, systems are often encountered in the context of metalloproteins, and they are also an essential part of molecular magnets. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for chemical structure elucidation, but for paramagnetic molecules it is substantially more complicated than in the diamagnetic case. Before the present work, the theory of NMR of ...

The effect of rotation and vibration on the nuclear magnetic resonance ~NMR! shielding constants was computed for HF, F2, N2, CO, and HBr. The shielding constants for H, C, N, O, and F nuclei were calculated using sum-over-states density functional perturbation theory ~SOS-DFPT!. Diatomic ro-vibrational states were calculated from a discrete variable representation using Morse potentials and po...

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters in porphyrin and porphycene have been calculated to investigate their changes during the process of proton exchange, using density-functional theory (DFT) for both the spin-spin coupling constants and the shielding constants. In addition, in calculations on the smaller 1,3-bis(arylimino)isoindoline molecule, we have tested the performance of our c...

Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. it is an antioxidantand anti-cancer agent, and reduces blood pressure, and also has anti-allergic Effects.In this article, six theoretical methods have been used for calculation of physical parameters insolforaphane and several similar compounds. We calculated physical parameters like atomic charges.energy (AE) ...

Nuclear magnetic shielding is a second-order molecular electronic property which provides a severe test of the accuracy of molecular quantum mechanical calculations. While electric dipole polarizability and hyperpolarizabilities provide tests of the wavefunction at the outer regions, nuclear shielding is very sensitive, especially to contributions from high angular momentum functions, in the re...
