Mixed dimers, trimers and tetramers composed of SO2 and CO2 molecules are examined by ab initio calculations to identify all minimum energy structures. While AIM formalism leads to the idea of a pair of C···O bonds in the most stable heterodimer, bound by some 2 kcal mol(-1), NBO analysis describes the bonding in terms of charge transfer from O lone pairs of SO2 to the CO π* antibonding orbital...

Intermolecular interactions play a vital role in crystal structures. Therefore, we conducted a topological study, using Hirshfeld surfaces and atom in molecules (AIM) analysis, to decompose and analyze, respectively, the different intermolecular interactions in six hydrazone-diacetyl platinum(II) complexes. Using AIM and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, we determined the type, nature, and s...

Abstract New tellurite glasses with composition (in mol%): 60TeO 2 –(30-x)ZnO–5Bi O 3 –5TiO -xB (where x = 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0) were fabricated using conventional melt quenching method. Compositional dependence of the on their density, thermal, refractive index optical properties investigated. X-Ray Diffraction analysis was carried out to confirm nature thus formed glasses. Density, index...

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the level of B3LYP/6-31G was carried out on the structure 4(5)-Imidazole-carbaldehyde-N(5)-phenylthiosemicarbazone (ImTPh) in gas phase using Gaussian 03. Dipole moment (Debye), energy of structure formation (HF; kcal/mol) and point group, NMR parameters such as isotropic shielding (σiso) and anisotropic shielding (σaniso), σ11, σ22 and σ33 ob...

The reaction of MesP=CPh2 with the least sterically demanding N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC = IMe) results in formation of the 'abnormal' (C(4)-substituted) 4-phosphino-NHC (1). In contrast, reaction with Me2IMe gives the unprecedented 'normal' C(2) adduct, Me2IMe → P(Mes)=CPh2 (2). Particularly striking is the asymmetric and weak bonding of the NHC to the P=C moiety in 2. DFT calculations indica...

Interaction of proline with gold cluster was studied using density functional theory (DFT). Two types of mixed basis sets UB3LYP/6-311++G ∪ LANL2MB and UB3LYP/6-311++G ∪ LANL2DZ were used for optimization of complex structures. Proline interacts with gold cluster either through one anchor bond, N–Au or an anchor bond O–Au associated with a non-conventional O–H. . . Au hydrogen bond. Among these...

The photocatalytic activity of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins with different metal centers (Fe, Co, Mn and Cu) adsorbed on TiO(2) (Degussa P25) surface has been investigated by carrying out the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible and ultraviolet light irradiation. The photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectan...

in this paper geometry optimization of two ionic complexes such as cr042-gly+1, and mo042- gly+i have been carried out at the hf and b3lyp levels oftheory with 6-31g* basis set in the gas phase. moreover, chemical shift andnatural bond of orbital (nbo) of these compounds have been obtainedusing nmr and nbo methods. finally, the obtained theoretical results werecompared with each other.
