The geometries and relative energies of 3t-pentyl-2r,6c-diphenyl/di(thiophen-2-yl)piperidin-4ones (PIPs) and their oxime derivatives (PIPOXIs) have been investigated. The structural and spectroscopic analyses of PIPs and PIPOXIs were made by using B3LYP level with 6-311G(d,p) basis set. The optimized parameters show that the piperidi-4-one ring adopts chair conformation. Observed chemical shift...

In this work, regular convergence patterns of the structural, harmonic, and VPT2-calculated anharmonic vibrational parameters of ethylene towards the Kohn-Sham complete basis set (KS CBS) limit are demonstrated for the first time. The performance of the VPT2 scheme implemented using density functional theory (DFT-BLYP and DFT-B3LYP) in combination with two Pople basis sets (6-311++G** and 6-311...

Density functional theory has been gaining popularity for studying the radical scavenging activity of antioxidants. However, only a few studies investigate importance calculation methods on radical-scavenging reactions. In this study, we examined significance (i) long-range correction coulombic interaction and (ii) London dispersion to hydroperoxyl reaction trans-resveratrol gnetin C. We employ...

The density functionals B3LYP, B3PW91, M062X, and CAM-B3LYP with the 6-311+G(d,p) basis set predict the cysteine sulfenic acid O-sulfenylation of the s-cis-ketoenol tautomer of 1,3-cyclohexanedione proceeds through a cyclic 14-membered transition state structure containing three water molecules.

Density functional calculations were used to explore the complexation of 3-alkyl-4-phenylacetylamino-4,5-dihydro-1h-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (ADPHT) derivatives by first-row transition metal cations. Neutral ADPHT ligand and mono deprotonated ligands have been used. Geometry optimizations have been performed in gas-phase and solution-phase (water, benzene, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)) with B3LYP...

Picoplatin, cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2-picoline)], is a new promising anticancer agent undergoing clinical trials, which reveals high efficacy against many tumors and greatly reduced toxicity, in comparison to cisplatin. In this work, we present for the first time the Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectra of picoplatin, in the region of 3500-50 cm(-1). The comprehensive theoretical studies on the...

The B3LYP/6-311+G(d)-SDD method, which considers the relativistic effect of bromine, was adopted for the calculations of the selected polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the present study, in which the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) method was also applied. The calculated values and experimental data for structural parameters of the selected PBDEs were compared to find the suitable theoretical methods ...

Several DFT functionals have been carried out to study the first hyperpolarizabilities βHRS of push-pull polyene as a function basis sets, electron correlation, size, frequency dispersion and geometry. These calculations confirm huge effects Møller– Plesset (MP2) results reproduces values hyperpolarizability obtained with reference CCSD(T) level. Among density functional theory exchange- correl...
