A new noninvasive method for determining the surface electrostatic potential and surface charge density of microscopic particles using second harmonic generation (SHG) is described. The surface electrostatic properties of 1.05 μm polystyrene sulfate spheres in aqueous solution and that of 0.22 μm oil droplets in aqueous emulsions are obtained. Comparisons of the surface potentials obtained from...

Quantum mechanical (QM) methodology has been employed to study the structure activity relations of DNA and locked nucleic acid (LNA). The QM calculations provide the basis for construction of molecular structure and electrostatic surface potentials from molecular orbitals. The topologies of the electrostatic potentials were compared among model oligonucleotides, and it was observed that small s...

In the present work, the quantum theoretical calculations of the molecular structure of the 1-(1, 3-Benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(thiophene-5-carbonyl) thiourea has been predicted and are evaluated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) in gas phase. The geometry of the title compound was optimized by B3LYP/6-311+G and B3LYP/6-311+G* methods and the experimental geometrical parameters of the title compo...

In the present work, the quantum theoretical calculations of the molecular structure of the compound 2-(Cyclohexylamino)-2-oxo-1-(quinolin-4-yl)ethyl 4-Chlorobenzoate have been predicted using Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the gas phase. The geometry of the title structure was optimized by B3LYP/6-31+G* and HF/6-31+G* levels of theory. The theoretical 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift values o...
