Chlorido[2-(diphenyl-phos-phino)-aceto-phenone]gold(I)

Synthesis and solid-state structures of gold(i) complexes of diphosphines

A series of diphosphine bis(gold) complexes were synthesised and the importance of aurophilic interactions for their structure formation was studied.

Conformational stability, spectroscopic (FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV-Vis) analysis, NLO, NBO, FMO and Fukui function analysis of 4-hexylacetophenone by density functional theory

The experimental and theoretical study on the structures and vibrations of 4-hexylacetophenone (abbreviated as 4HAP) are presented. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of the title compound have been recorded in the region 4000-400cm(-1) and 3500-100cm(-1) respectively. The molecular structures, vibrational wavenumbers, infrared intensities and Raman activities were calculated using DFT (B3LYP and LSDA) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The most stable conformer of 4HAP is identified from the computational results. The assignments of the vibrational spectra have been carried out with the aid of normal coordinate analysis (NCA) following the scaled quantum mechanical force field methodology (SQMEF). The linear polarizability (α) and the first hyperpolarizability (βtot) values of the investigated molecule have been computed using B3LYP and LSDA with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interaction and charge transfer delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The molecule orbital contributions are studied by density of energy states (DOSs). UV-Vis spectrum and effects of solvents have been discussed effects of solvents have been discussed and the electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies were determined by time-dependent TD-DFT approach. Fukui function and Mulliken analysis on atomic charges of the title compound have been calculated. Finally, electrophilic and nucleophilic descriptors of the title molecule have been calculated.
