Abstract
Within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT), the relevance of the term Hartree-Fock exchange (HFE) for a variety of molecular properties is a critical point. For this reason, we spend efforts to understand these relationships in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters in a water solvent. This work takes advantage of the appropriate aug-cc-pVTZ-J basis set and the Minnesota family of DFT methods, which consider different portions of HFE contributions. With regard to solvent participation, the results are based on a sequential Monte Carlo/Quantum Mechanics procedure, which builds the structures of the liquid under realistic thermodynamic conditions. Compared to the accurate results of second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) and experimental data, all NMR parameters show a huge dependence on the size of the HFE contribution. For instance, the inclusion of this term in 1JOH and 2JHH indirect spin-spin couplings does vary with 49.661 and 25.459 Hz, respectively. The M06-HF method accounts for 100% of HFE and better matches the σO and σH shielding constants. On the other hand, 1JOH and 2JHH demand a medium contribution (54% of HFE), the best description being associated with the M06-2X method. Thus, the dependence varies regarding the phenomenology of the property in focus and the order for independent treatments. For elements that participate in hydrogen bonds simultaneously as donor and acceptor actors, the results indicate that explicit solvent molecules must be considered in the quantum mechanical calculations for better modeling of paramagnetic shielding constants.

Abstract
An experimental and theoretical study based on DFT/TD-DFT approximations is presented to understand the nature of electronic excitations, reactivity, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of reactive orange 16 dye (RO16), an azo chromophore widely used in textile and pharmacological industries. The results show that the solvent has a considerable influence on the electronic properties of the material. According to experimental results, the absorption spectrum is formed by four intense transitions, which have been identified as [Formula: see text] states using TD-DFT calculations. However, the TD-DFT results reveal a weak [Formula: see text] in the low-lying spectral region. Continuum models of solvation indicate that these states suffer from bathochromic (ca. 15 nm) and hypsochromic shifts (ca. 4 nm), respectively. However, the expected blue shift for the absorption [Formula: see text] is only described using long-range or dispersion-corrected DFT methods. RO16 is classified as a strong electrophilic system, with electrophilicity ω > 1.5 eV. Concerning the nucleophilicity parameter (N), from vacuum to solvent, the environment is active and changes the nucleophilic status from strong to moderate nucleophile (2.0 ≤ N ≤ 3.0 eV). The results also suggest that all electrical constants are strongly dependent on long-range and Hartree-Fock exchange contributions, and the absence of these interactions gives results far from reality. In particular, the results for the NLO response show that the chromophore presents a potential application in this field with a low refractive index and first hyperpolarizability ca. 214 times bigger than the value usually reported for urea (β = 0.34 × 10- 30 esu), which is a standard NLO material. Concerning the solvent effects, the results indicate that the polarizability increases [Formula: see text] esu from gas to solvent while the first hyperpolarizability is calculated as [Formula: see text] esu, ca. 180%, regarding the vacuum. The results suggest RO16 is a potential compound in NLO applications.

Abstract
The nonlinear optical response, more specifically the Hyper-Rayleigh Scattering (HRS) response of the Brooker's merocyanine, has been calculated at the time-dependent density functional theory level and rationalized in terms of the structural changes and polarization effects induced by applied external electric fields. The structural change leads to large changes in the HRS response, while only slight variations were observed due to the polarization effects on the fixed quinoid form. Considering both structural and polarization contributions concurrently, the HRS response is dominated by cooperative behavior of those effects for weak and intermediate electric field strengths. At the same time, the competition between both effects was a crucial factor in the region of strong electric fields. The obtained results can lead to an easier understanding for upcoming studies considering more realistic models of solvents where it is not simple to disentangle these contributions.
