the density functional theory (dft) and the natural bond orbital (nbo) calculations basedmethod b3lyp/6-31g were carried out to study the interaction of dopamine with carbon nanotube.the nanotube used in this study, includes 60 c atoms (6, 6) type. relative and formation energies ofcompounds, muliken charges, occupancy, the highest occupied molecular orbital (homo) and thelowest unoccupied mole...

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...

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.

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...

in this work, the effects of as-doped on the adsorption of oxygen gas on the outer and inner surface ofboron nitride nanotube (bnnts) is investigated. the structural parameters, quantum properties involving:bond length, bond angle, homo-lumo orbital, gapenergy, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemicalpotential, global hardness, global softness and nmr parameters of bnnts are calculated at...

In this study, reactions of the simple cycloalkynes with substituted Nitrile Oxides, by DFT method will be discussed. The investigation of the structural properties, theoretical thermodynamic and kinetic data, i.e., the activation free energies(DG*), the free energies changes of reaction(DrG) and rate constants of the reactions (k) in 298 K and effects of Electron-withdrawing and...

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...
