We studied the UV-vis absorption and fluorescence in solution/solid states of [n]cycloparaphenylene ([n]CPP: n = 9, 12, 14, 15, and 16), and conducted theoretical studies to better understand the experimental results. The representative experimental findings include (i) the most intense absorption maxima (λ(abs1)) display remarkably close values (338-339 nm), (ii) the longest-wavelength absorpt...

the aim of the present study was to prepare new cluster (b6c4si) as an antibiotic carrier. density functional theory (dft) method at the b3lyp level of theory in conjugate with the 6-311g** basis set was used to evaluate the interaction between b6c4si cluster and penicillin. binding parameters, homo, lumo and homo- lumo gap were calculated. results show the ‍ b6c4si homo–lumo gap value of 0.13...

Metal–dithiolene complexes form very attractive categories of molecular metals and superconductors. They can have various oxidation states and can range from electron acceptors to donors. The first observation of metallic behavior in crystalline metal– dithiolene complexes was reported for Li0.75[Pt(mnt)2]?2H2O [mnt~maleonitriledithiolate; Scheme 1] by Underhill et al. in 1981. The conduction p...

The electronic structure and photophysical properties of (C=C)TTP(2+) (TTP = tetra-p-tolylporphyrin) were scrutinized by using quantum mechanical calculations and transient absorption spectroscopic measurements. When compared to a metalloporphyrin, the presence of the C=C unit in (C=C)TTP(2+) causes a splitting of the degenerate LUMO and a large decrease in the HOMO-LUMO gap, while the 2+ charg...

Molecular orbital calculations reveal that acyl and silyl radicals add to numerous types of pi-systems through simultaneous SOMO-LUMO and LUMO-HOMO interactions of the radical with the radicalophile respectively.

in this study the chemical properties of b6c4si and c16 clusters connected vitamin c have been investigated using density functional theory (dft). nmr parameters and homo- lumo gap energy are calculated by using density functional method (b3lyp) with 6-311g* basis set. calculations show that homo- lumo gap energy of vitamin c decreases after connecting to b6c4si or c16 cluster decreasing of hom...

The electronic structure of charybdotoxin (ChTX), a scorpion venom peptide that is known to act as a potassium channel blocker, is investigated with the aid of quantum mechanical calculations. The dipole moment vector (=145 D) of ChTX can be stirred by the full length KcsA potassium channel’s macrodipole (=403 D) thereby assuming the proper orientation before binding the ion channel on the ce...

benzyl chloride and tin powder were used to prepare dibenzyltin dichloride according to a literatureprocedure. in this study, ir spectroscopy, homo-lumo energy gap, nbo analysis, polarizability,some geometrical parameters, natural charge and electrical potential of atoms, global hardness,electronic chemical potential, global electrophilicity index, and molar volume of dibenzyltindichloride were...

Quantum mechanical calculations are performed on 116 conformers of the protein ubiquitin (Lange et al., Science 2008, 320, 1471–1475). The results indicate that the heat of formation (HOF), dipole moment, energy of the frontier orbitals HOMO and LUMO, and HOMO-LUMO gap fluctuate within their corresponding ranges. This study thus provides a link between the conformational dynamics of a protein a...
