Molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) 1,3-thiazolidin-4-one and its selenium analogue: Insights using HF and DFT methods

2-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one and its selenium analogue were studied in the gas phase using HF and DFT methods. The functionals considered were B3LYP, BP86 and M06. The basis set for all the atoms was 6-311++ G(d,p). Molecular parameters such as bond lengths, bond angles, rotational constants, dipole moments, electronic energies, and vibrational parameters namely harmonic vibrational frequencies and relative intensities were computed for these compounds. Atomization energies, HOMO-LUMO gaps and natural charges on the atoms were also calculated. The molecular parameters and the vibrational spectra of sulfur compound are in good agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, the data for the selenium analogue should be helpful in its future characterization.

Synthesis, X-ray, DFT and photophysical properties of some new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-ones and their derivatives

Cyclocondensation of thiosemicarbazone of 2-acetylferrocene with α-haloacids and α-haloketones afford new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-ones and ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazoles respectively. Ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-one is easily converted into enamino ketone with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA). The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic means and the structure of the new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-one (3a) was determined by means of X-ray crystallography. The photophysical properties of these compounds were studied by means of UV/visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out with Gaussian 09W using B3LYP density functional method and 6-31G (d) basis set. (1)H and (13)C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) have been calculated and correlated with experimental results. Antimicrobial activity studies of some new compounds have been reported.

Synthesis, structure and antimicrobial evaluation of new 3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[g]indazol-2-yl-thiazol-4(5H)-ones

The reaction of semicarbazide or thiosemicarbazide with 2-arylidene-1-tetralones under alkaline condition affords 3,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[g]indazole-2-carbo(thio)amides as a mixture of cis and trans diastereoisomers of 3-H and 3a-H. The synthesis of new indazolyl-thiazol-4(5H)-ones from the condensation of cis isomer and α-halo acids is reported. A DFT study along with X-ray single crystal data of a representative compound is presented. All the eight newly synthesised indazolyl-thiazol-4(5H)-ones were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities and some compounds have shown promising activities.
