Synthesis, molecular structure, spectral analysis and nonlinear optical studies on 4-(4-bromophenyl)-1-tert-butyl-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine: A combined experimental and DFT approach

Derivatives of pyridine and thiazole hybrid: Synthesis, DFT, biological evaluation via antimicrobial and DNA cleavage activity

A novel series of the 2-pyridine substituted 3a-e and 4-pyridine substituted 4a-e thiazole derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for the biological activity. Crystallographic parameters and inter- and intramolecular interactions of 3a and 3c single crystals were examined through XRD analysis. The chemical reactivity potentials of the compounds were evaluated, by comparing with a theoretical approach based on DFT. The biological activity properties of synthesized compounds were determined by antimicrobial activity with Gram positive, Gram negative, Yeast via minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) method and DNA cleavage activity studies. The most obvious findings to emerge from this study are that on the basis of both biological activity and chemical reactivity 4-pyridine thiazole hybrid compounds 4a-e showed more potent activity than 3a-e. In general, the antimicrobial activity of synthesized compounds follows the Bacillus cereus > Staphylococcus aureus > Candida albicans > Escherichia coli > Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most potent compound 4c (MIC values 0.02 mM) exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Furthermore, this compound has a good electrophilicity index value (4.56 eV).

Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Time-Dependent DFT Calculations of 1-Methyl-5-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinazoline-3,6-dione and Its Starting Precursor in Different Solvents

In this study, 2-mercapto-3-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one (1), which exists as a thiol and thione tautomer, was treated with acetylacetone to give the target compound, namely, 1-methyl-5-phenyl-5H-pyrido[1,2-a]quinazoline-3,6-dione (2). The spectroscopic data, including UV/Vis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass data, of this compound were recorded. The molecular structures of the starting material (1) and the product (2) were optimized by using density functional theory (DFT) by employing the B3LYP exchange correlation with the 6-311G (d, p) and 6-31G++ (d, p) basis sets. The electronic spectra were determined based on time-dependent DFT calculations in three different solvents (i.e., chloroform, ethanol, and acetonitrile) starting from the same solvated run of the optimized geometry with the same two basis sets. The solvent effects were considered based on the polarizable continuum model (PCM), and the energetic behavior of the compounds and the total static dipole moment (μ) in different solvents were examined in the two basis sets; the results showed that the total energy of the compounds decreased upon increasing the polarity of the solvent. Time-dependent DFT calculations were performed to analyze the electronic transitions for various excited states that reproduced the experimental band observed in the UV/Vis spectrum. A study on the electronic properties, such as the HOMO and LUMO energies, was performed by the time-independent DFT approach. Using the gauge-independent atomic orbital method (GIAO), the 1H NMR chemical shifts were calculated and correlated with the experimental ones. The computed results showed that the introduction of different dielectric media had a slight effect on the stability and reactivity of the title compound as well as on the Milliken atomic charges and the molecular geometry. Besides, the molecular electrostatic potential of target product 2 was evaluated in different solvents.

Synthesis, spectroscopic, single crystal diffraction and potential nonlinear optical properties of novel pyrazoline derivatives: Interplay of experimental and computational analyses

Pyrazoline are widely being studied due to their potential applications in chemical field. Herein, five pyrazolines compounds were synthesized and characterized spectroscopically using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques (¹H NMR &¹³C NMR) to determine the structures of molecules along-with UV-Visible and infrared (FT-IR) studies for additional spectroscopic support in characterization of entitle synthesized molecules. Unit cells, specific space groups, bond lengths, bond angles and hydrogen bonding interactions were determined by the x-ray diffraction studies. Further, computational study of compounds with B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level were carried out to explore optimized geometry, spectroscopic data for FT-IR, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and non-linear optical (NLO) parameters. While, UV-Vis spectral were performed by TD-DFT/B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level. The experimental results of spectroscopic and single crystal studies were compared and found in good agreement with the computational. The global reactivity parameters have been calculated with the help of the energy of FMOs. The order for the total first and second order hyperpolarizabilities of 1-5 is found in the following orders: 1 > 4 > 3 > 5 > 2 and 1 > 4 > 5 > 2 > 3 respectively. Overall, greater NLO response than urea molecule prove that investigated molecules are excellent candidate for NLO applications.

Combined experimental and theoretical studies on molecular structures, spectroscopy of 4-(3-(2-amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)-1-(benzoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzonitriles through NBO, FT-IR, HOMO-LUMO and NLO analyzes

The pyrazole compounds 4-(3-(2-amino-3,5-dibromophenyl)-1-(4-substitutedbenzoyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) benzonitriles (4–6) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental, IR, 1HNMR spectral methods. In addition, the synthesized compounds were subjected to density functional theory for further understanding of the molecular architecture and optoelectronic properties. The optimized geometric parameters were in support of the corresponding experimental values. The FT-IR spectra of 4–6 have been investigated extensively using DFT employing B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level theory. The molecular electrostatic potential analysis has been utilized to identify reactive sites of title compounds. Natural bonding orbital analysis proved the inter- and intra-molecular delocalization and acceptor–donor interactions based on the second-order perturbation interactions. The calculated band gap energies revealed that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. The polarizability and hyperpolarizability were calculated which show that compounds posses nonlinear optical nature.
