Molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 3-and 4-amino-2-bromopyridine by density functional methods

New Molecular Ferroelectrics Accompanied by Ultrahigh Second-Harmonic Generation

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is one of the outstanding properties for practical applications. However, the great majority of molecular ferroelectric materials have very low nonlinear optical coefficients, attenuating their attractive performance. Here we synthesized (4-amino-2-bromopyridinium)(4-amino-2-bromopyridine)tetrafluoroborate (1), whose second-order nonlinear optical coefficient reaches up to 2.56 pm V(-1), 2.67 times of that of KDP, and (4-amino-2-bromopyridinium)tetrafluoroborate (2), possessing a more incredible large second-order nonlinear optical coefficient as high as 10.24 pm V(-1), 10.67 times that of KDP. The compound 1 undergoes two reversible phase transitions at around T1 = 244.1 K and T2 = 154.6 K, caused by dramatic changes of the protonated cations and order-disorder of anions, which was disclosed by differential scanning calorimetry, heat capacity, dielectric anomalies, SHG, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The pyroelectric measurements reveal that compound 1 is a Rochelle salt type ferroelectric, which has a large spontaneous polarization of about 3 μC/cm(2).

Growth, structure, spectral and optical properties of semiorganic crystal: Pyridine-1-ium-2-carboxylatehydrogenbromide

Pyridine-1-ium-2-carboxylatehydrogenbromide (PHBr) crystal was grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation method. The calculated lattice parameters of single crystal X-ray diffraction have shown the triclinic crystal system with centrosymmetric space group of Pī. The interaction of functional groups and their importance in their application was identified by FTIR spectral analysis. The material is optically transparent and the grown crystal is having lower cut off wavelength as 294nm, thereby confirming the enhancement of non-linear optical (NLO) property and optical band gap of the PHBr have been determined as 2.49eV by UV-Vis-NIR studies. The (1)H NMR spectrum confirms the molecular structure and the presence of different kinds of protons.

Investigation of structure, vibrational, electronic, NBO and NMR analyses of 2-chloro-4-nitropyridine (CNP), 2-chloro-4-methyl-5-nitropyridine (CMNP) and 3-amino-2-chloro-4-methylpyridine (ACMP) by experimental and theoretical approach

This study reports about the optimized molecular structures, vibrational wavenumbers, atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potentials, NBO, electronic properties, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR chemical shifts for the molecules 2-chloro-4-nitropyridine (CNP), 2-chloro-4-methyl-5-nitropyridine (CMNP) and 3-amino-2-chloro-4-methylpyridine (ACMP). Theoretical calculations were performed by density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method using 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. The stability and charge delocalization of the title molecules were studied by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEP) were calculated to predict the reactive sites. The reactivity of the title compounds were investigated by HOMO-LUMO energies and global descriptors. The electronic properties of the compounds were also discussed and the transitions were found to be π→π(∗). In addition, the thermodynamic properties were studied for the title compounds and corresponding relations between the properties and temperature were also discussed. The hyperpolarizability values (βtot) were calculated for the title compounds. Hyperpolarizability value (βtot) of CMNP was found to be high and nineteen times greater than that of urea.

Spectroscopic and quantum chemical studies on bromopyrazone

In this study, the FT-IR, micro-Raman and UV-vis. spectra of bromopyrazone molecule, C10H8BrN3O, (with synonym,1-phenyl-4-amino-5-bromopyridazon-(6) or 5-amino-4-bromo-2-phenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone) were recorded experimentally. The molecular structure, vibrational wavenumbers, electronic transition absorption wavelengths in ethanol solvent, HOMOs and LUMOs analyses, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), natural bond orbitals (NBO), nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and atomic charges of bromopyrazone molecule have been calculated by using DFT/B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set in ground state. The obtained results show that the calculated vibrational frequencies and UV-vis. values are in a good agreement with experimental data.
