Electronic and geometric structures of MxSy (M=W, Mo; x = 1, 2, 4; y = 1–12) clusters have been studied using density functional theory calculations, and compared to experimental photoelectron spectra. For the metal atoms, an uptake of up to six sulfur atoms has been observed, which can be explained by the bonding of S3 chains. A structural difference to the corresponding oxides is the preferen...

The electronic structure of ultrasmall Au clusters on thin MgO/Ag(001) films has been analyzed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and density functional theory. The clusters exhibit two-dimensional quantum well states, whose shapes resemble the eigenstates of a 2D electron gas confined in a parabolic potential. From the symmetry of the highest occupied (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orb...

objective(s): first principles calculations were performed to study four multiple sclerosis drugs namely, ampyra, fingolimod, mitoxantrone and eliprodil in gas and liquid phases using density functional theory (dft). computational chemistry simulations were carried out to compare calculated quantum chemical parameters for ampyra, fingolimod, mitoxantrone and eliprodil. materials and methods: al...

For employing computational tools for drug discovery in the area of medicinal chemistry by carbohydrates, methyl α-D-glucopyranoside and its ten acylated derivatives have picked up. At first, HOMO, LUMO, energy gap been obtained DFT method, as well chemical reactivity global descriptors, such softness, electron affinity, ionization potential, electronegativity, hardness, electrophilicity index...

In this research, the quantum mechanics calculations were carried out to elucidate the adsorption behavior of metronidazole drug on the surface of pristine as well as doped C60 fullerene with Si, B and Al using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. After optimization of the structures, various parameters such as HOMO and LUMO energies, gap energy, adsorption ener...

The electronic structure of two series of small titanium oxide clusters, TiOy (y51 – 3) and (TiO2)n (n51 – 4), is studied using anion photoelectron spectroscopy. Vibrationally resolved spectra are obtained for TiO and TiO2 . Six low-lying electronic states for TiO are observed with five of these excited states resulting from multielectron transitions in the photodetachment processes. TiO2 is fo...

In the present study, 2-(p-tolyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine (TDHP) is synthesized from 1,8-naphthalenediamine and 4-methylbenzaldehyde by embedding a one-carbon unit between nitrogen followed ring closure using green chemistry approach. 1H NMR 13C spectral techniques were used to validate structure of TDHP. The perimidine TDHP studied density functional theory (DFT) provide valuable insights in...

The interaction of a nitrosyl hydride (HNO) molecule with B12N12 nanocage was explored by means of density functional calculations. It was found that HNO prefers to be adsorbing on a boron atom of the cage with adsorption energy of -0.65 eV. This adsorption process significantly shifts the HOMO-LUMO gap (Eg) of the cage to lower energies, thereby reducing Eg of the cage from 6.84 to 2.45 eV. Ti...

In this study, the reaction of 3-Picrylamino-1, 2, 4-Triazole (PATO) with B12N12 was investigated by density functional theory in the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. There were two possible isomers for reaction of PATO with B12N12 via carbon and nitrogen atoms of triazole ring to the Born atom of B12N12 (I and II-isomers). Thermo...

The sensing properties of the paddlewheel-type metal dimer (M-BTC: M = Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pd) toward SO2 gas were theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) at M06-L level theory. Single-point calculations carried M06 to correct energetic HOMO–LUMO energy gap. O-bound adsorption complex on center paddlewheels is found be thermodynamically favorable than S-bound ones. tren...
