New bis 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives: syntheses, characterizations, computational studies, and antioxidant activities

In this study, two new bis oxadiazole derivatives (2a and 2b) were synthesized. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral studies and were tested for their antioxidant activity. According to the results, it was observed that the synthesized compounds (2a and 2b) had a very high activity in both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) tests. The approximate geometries of the compounds 2a and 2b were prepared with GaussView5 visualization program. The optimized molecular geometric parameters, vibrational wavenumbers, UV–vis parameters, and HOMO–LUMO simulations were computed using Gaussian 09W program. The computations were performed at 6-311++G(d,p) basis set using the B3LYP functional in density functional theory (DFT) method. The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers computed in gas phase were scaled with 0.958 (1700–4000 cm−1) and 0.983 (0–1700 cm−1) for the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. To calculated the UV–vis spectroscopic parameters with TD-DFT method, the compounds 2a and 2b were optimized in DMF and DMSO solvents using the integral equation formalism polarizable continuum model (IEFPCM) method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The HOMO, LUMO, and UV–vis analyses were studied to interpret intramolecular charge transfers.

Molecular structure and vibrational and chemical shift assignments of 3'-chloro-4-dimethylamino azobenzene by DFT calculations

In the present work, a combined experimental and theoretical study on ground state molecular structure, spectroscopic and nonlinear optical properties of azo compound 3'-chloro-4-dimethlamino azobenzene are reported. The molecular geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and the first order hyperpolarizability of the title compound were calculated with the help of density functional theory computations. The optimized geometric parameters obtained by using DFT (B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)) show good agreement with the experimental data. The vibrational transitions were identified based on the recorded FT-IR spectra in the range of 4000-400cm(-1) for solid state. The (1)H isotropic chemical shifts with respect to TMS were also calculated using the gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method and compared with the experimental data. Using the TD-DFT method, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted, and good agreement is determined with the experimental ones. To investigate the NLO properties of the title compound, the polarizability and the first hyperpolarizability were calculated using the density functional B3LYP method with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. According to results, the title compound exhibits non-zero first hyperpolarizability value revealing second order NLO behavior. In addition, DFT calculations of the title compound, molecular electrostatic potential and frontier molecular orbitals were also performed at 6-311++G(d,p) level of theory.

Crystal structure, spectroscopic investigations and density functional studies of 4-(4-methoxyphenethyl)-5-benzyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one monohydrate

The triazol compound 4-(4-methoxyphenethyl)-5-benzyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one monohydrate (I) has been synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR, and X-ray single-crystal determination. The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shift values of (I) in the ground state have been calculated using the density functional method (B3LYP) with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The calculated results show that the optimized geometry can well reproduce the crystal structure, and the theoretical vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values show good agreement with experimental values. The energetic behavior of (I) in solvent media was examined using the B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis set by applying the Onsager and the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The predicted non-linear optical properties of (I) are greater than ones of urea. In addition, DFT calculations of molecular electrostatic potentials, frontier molecular orbitals and thermodynamic properties of (I) were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.
