Maximum Overlap Symmetry Molecular Orbital Calculation under CNDO／2 Approximation

A basic calculation procedure for the MOSMO method under CNDO/2 approximation is presented in this paper,and performed by using the same parameters as those used in the ordinary CNDO/2 LCAO-MO calculation.The calculated results on the whole are close to those obtained by use of the ordinary CNDO/2 LCAO-MO calculation,illustrating that the presented procedure is reasonable.Due to its simplicity,the presented calculation procedure may be feasible even in very large molecular s ystems.

Molecular Modeling and Antimicrobial Screening Studies on Some 3-Aminopyridine Transition Metal Complexes

Seven transition metal complexes of Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ with 3-aminopyridine (3-APy) as ligand have been synthesized, characterized by different techniques and their antibacterial activities were studied. Molecular modeling calculations were performed using DMOL3 program in materials studio package which is designed for the realization of large scale density functional theory calculation (DFT). The quantum mechanical and chemical reactivity parameters such as chemical hardness, chemical potential, electronegativity, electrophilicity index and Homo-Lumo energy gap were obtained theoretically and were used to understand the biological activity of the prepared compounds. Some complexes were tested for their in-vitro cytotoxic activity in human lung cancer cell lines (A-549 cell line), and structureactivity relationships were established. In general, the coordination to Co2+ increased the cytotoxicity while the Ni2+ complexes show reduced cytotoxic activity compared to the metal-free 3-aminopyridine.

Conformation of 1,2-Dimethoxyethane in Water

To understand the conformation of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) in water, a system of two kinds of molecules, DME and H_2O, was focused. The interaction of various conformers of DME with water was studied by means of ab initio molecular orbital calculation with 6-31G (d) basis set. It is shown that there are two forms of interactions between the two molecules in the system, the close touched (H_2O attaches to the two oxygen atoms of DME) and the open touched (H_2O attaches to one oxygen atom of DME) structures. The conformation of DME is remarkably influenced by the interactions. Instead the ttt conformer is preferred in the gas state, with a close touched H_2O the tgt conformer becomes the most stable one. The obtained hydration energies show that the stabilized order of DME conformers by water is tgt>tgg′>ttt.

Theoretical study of NO adsorbed on the surface of TiO2（110） cluster model

The chemisorption properties of N^18O adsorption on TiO2(110) surface were investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. The results of temperature programmed desorption (TPD) indicated that the temperatures of the three desorption peaks of the main N2 molecules were at (low) temperature of 230 K, 450 K, and (high) temperature of 980 K. This meant that N^18O decomposed and recombined during the process of N2 desorption after N^18O was exposed. Analysis of thestable combination and orbital theory calculation of the surface reaction of NO adsorption on the TiO2(110) cluster modelshowed that there was clear preference for the Ti-NO orientation.

Structure and Properties of Functionalized Polyfluorenone Containing Hetero Aromatic Side Chains

The optical properties of substituted fluorenones with diverse structures have been analyzed using molecular orbital calculations in order to understand the structure-property relations. Based on theoretical predictions, synthesis of some model compounds has been attempted. The experimentally obtained optical properties are in close agreement with the theoretically obtained results.
