Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) tellurone: a well-defined monomeric diorganotellurone without cocrystallized solvents and without stabilizing intramolecular contacts

Only two crystal structures of diorganotellurones have been reported to date, both of which contain cocrystallized solvents and one of which is stabilized by intramolecular Te—N secondary bonding interactions. This work describes the crystal structure of bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) tellurone, (C12H17)2TeO2 or C24H34O2Te, the first well-defined diorganotellurone without cocrystallized solvents and without stabilizing intramolecular contacts. The molecule has crystallographic twofold symmetry, with half the molecule as the asymmetric unit. The molecular structure is compared to previously reported tellurones and those computed at the density functional theory DFT/B3PW91 level. The molecules form two-dimensional layers as a result of a weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding network. The layers are then stacked in an antiparallel manner to form the crystal packing structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to visualize and quantify the intermolecular contacts in the molecular crystal structure, and the contribution of O...H and H...H interactions was found to be the dominating factor.

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of N-(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,6-diphenyl-4-hydroxyaniline

The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies and intensities of N-(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2,6-diphenyl-4-hydroxyaniline were calculated by the Density Functional Theory methods (BLYP, B3PW91 and B3LYP) using the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The calculated geometric parameters were compared to the corresponding X-ray structure of the title compound. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometry of the title compound shows that the X-ray parameters fairly well reproduce the geometry of optimized by B3LYP method (r=0.9825). The harmonic vibrations computed for this compound by the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method are in good agreement with the observed IR and Raman spectral data. The root mean square values error of the observed and calculated IR bands are found to be 9.80, 9.40 and 8.42 for B3LYP, B3PW91 and BLYP/6-31G(d,p) methods, respectively. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted by means of PEDs using the SQM 2.0 program. A general better performance of the investigated methods was calculated by PAVF 1.0 program.

Vibrational Spectroscopy Investigation Using Ab Initio and Density Functional Theory Analysis on the Structure oftert-Butyl 3a-Chloroperhydro-2,6a-epoxyoxireno[e]isoindole-5-carboxylate

The molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, and infrared intensities of thetert-butyl 3a-chloroperhydro-2,6a-epoxyoxireno[e]isoindole-5-carboxylate were calculated by the HF and DFT (BLYP and B3LYP) methods using 6-31G(d) and 6-31G(d,p) basis sets. The FT infrared spectrum of the solid sample was measured under standard condition. We obtained two stable conformers for the title compound; however Conformer 1 is approximately 0.2 kcal/mol more stable than the Conformer 2. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometry of the title compound shows that the X-ray parameters fairly well reproduce the geometry of Conformer 2. Comparison of the observed fundamental vibrational frequencies of the title molecule and calculated results by HF and DFT methods indicates that B3LYP is superior for molecular vibrational problems. The harmonic vibrations computed by the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method are in a good agreement with the observed IR spectral data. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted by means of potential energy distributions (PEDs) using VEDA 4 program.

DFT calculation of molecular structures and vibrational spectra of antitumor drugs: cis-[Pt(CH3CN)2Cl2]

The molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of cis-[Pt(CH(3)CN)(2)Cl(2)] were calculated by five density functional theory (DFT) and HF methods using several basis sets. The theoretical results are discussed and compared with the experimental data. It is remarkable that mPW1PW91 and PBE1PBE methods at SDD basis sets are clearly superior to the remaining density functional methods in predicting the structures of cis-[Pt(CH(3)CN)(2)Cl(2)]. Mean deviation between the calculated harmonic and observed fundamental vibrational frequencies for each method is also calculated. The results indicate that mPW1PW91 and PBE1PBE methods at SDD basis sets are also the best to predict vibrational spectra of cis-[Pt(CH(3)CN)(2)Cl(2)].

N-(2,2-Diphenylacetyl)-N'-(naphthalen-1yl)-thiourea (PANT) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data.

The calculated geometric parameters were compared to the corresponding X-ray structure of the title compound. We obtained 22 stable conformers for the title compound; however Conformer 1 is approximately 9.53kcal/mol more stable than Conformer 22. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometry of the title compound shows that the X-ray parameters fairly well reproduce the geometry of Conformer 17. The harmonic vibrations computed for this compound by the B3LYP/6-31G* method are in good agreement with the observed IR spectral data. Theoretical vibrational spectra of the title compound were interpreted by means of PEDs using the VEDA 4 program. A general better performance of the investigated methods was calculated by PAVF 1.0 program.
