Because of their many applications, they are produced on a massive scale and used in a number of environmental compartments. Their discharge into water produces environmental problems, exposing our environment to public health problems. A solution that can contribute to their deterioration is becoming a necessity. For this reason, a conceptual analysis of the reactivity of benzothiazole and four of its compounds was undertaken in order to investigate certain aspects of their biodegradability. A theoretical investigations of the compounds studied were conducted in the gas and water phases with the most widely used density functional theory method, Becke-3-Parameter-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) with 6-31G+ (d, p) basis. Reactivity study calculated global indices of reactivity revealed that 2-SCH3_BTH is the most reactive. Dipole moment values analysis reveals that 2-NH2_BTH is the most soluble in water, while the lipophilicity shows that 2-NH2_BTH is the most hydrophilic compound. Thermodynamic parameters values reflect that reactions are respectively exothermic and spontaneous. By analyzing an Electrostatic Molecular Potential (EMP) map, researchers can pinpoint reactive sites on a molecule and anticipate its reactivity. This assessment is further enhanced by incorporating global and local reactivity descriptors. Additionally, an exploration of frontier molecular orbitals offers valuable insights into the molecule’s charge transfer characteristics. Moreover, a combined examination of internal and external molecular interactions unveils hyperconjugative interactions arising from charge delocalization, as elucidated through natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.展开更多

Computed H-bond interaction energies (ΔEc), internuclear and intermolecular distances r(O…H) and r(O…O), infrared frequency shifts Δv(C=O) and (Δv(OH) are proved to be reliable parameters for predicting the preferred interaction site of 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone. These computational data suggest that the O-H…O=C complex is preferred with water, methanol, phenol, 1-naphtol, 2,4,5 trichlorophenol and pentachlorophenol. However, for H-bonding with stronger acids such as picric acid or hydrochloric acid, the computational data suggest that the H-bonding occurs at the N1 ring atom of 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone. In the O-H…O=C com- plex, where the H-bond at the carbonyl O-atom can be oriented “anti” (Ha) and “syn” (Hb) with respect to the N3 atom, the same computational data suggest a higher stability of the “anti-O” compared to the “syn-O” orientation.展开更多

The dissociative adsorp- tion of NH2 and H is found thermodynamically favored relative to the molecular NH3 adsorption by decreasing the total energy of 0.95 eV. The adsorption geometries of the molecular and dis- sociative NH3 are given in detail, among which the molecular NH3 bonds to the surface Ga with its lone electronic pair, and the N atom of NH2 adspecies forms the four-fold coordinated N by bridging two surface Ga atoms.展开更多

Crystals of 1 and 2 were grown by slow evaporation of methanol and ethyl acetate, respectively and their crystal structures were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Geometric properties were calculated by the B3 LYP method of density functional theory（DFT） at the 6-31G＋（d） basis set to compare with the experimental data. Simulated properties were found in strong agreement with the experimental ones. Intermolecular forces have also been modeled in order to investigate the strength of packing and strong hydrogen bonding was observed in both compounds 1 and 2. Electronic properties such as Ionization Potential（IP）, Electron Affinities（EA） and coefficients of the highest occupied molecular orbital（HOMO） and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital（LUMO） of com- pounds 1 and 2 were simulated for the first time.展开更多

The initial steps of the reactions proceed via the coordination of ethylene to the reactants L2Pt（II）R＋, where L2=none, （NH3）2, （CHNH）2; R=H, CH3, C2H5 in which ethylene coordinates strongly to the complexes PtCH＋ and PtC2H＋ （coordination energies （CE） are 296.52 and 229.28 kJ/mol, respectively）, while nitrogen-containing ligands decrease the energies： Pt（NH3）2CH＋ （CE： 180.04 kJ/mol）, Pt（NH3）2C2H＋ （CE： 97.86 kJ/mol）, Pt（CHNH）2 CH＋ （CE ： 176.31 kJ/mol） and Pt（CHNH）2 C2H＋ （CE： 91.00 kJ/mol）. Moreover, ethylene insertion into the Pt-alkyl bond, which is the rate-determining step, is endothermic with barrier heights for LzPtCH3（CzH4）＋ decreasing in the order： PtCH＋ （164.18 kJ/mol）〉（NH3）2 PtCH＋ （129.95 kJ/mol）〉 （CHNH）2 PtCH＋ （115.27 kJ/mol）, which has the same tendency for the ethyl case. The insertion product will continually undergo t-hydride elimination, which is exothermic. On the other hand, the effects of solvent （dichloromethane, THF and benzene） are investigated with PCM method, but the inclusion of the effects in the computations only slightly affects the results. Beside that, a complete catalytic cycle for ethylene dimerization is studied in detail and the calculations agree well with known energetic and recognized tendencies.展开更多

A preliminary single crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis has revealed that the latter crystallizes in the monoclinic system（space group C2/c）. Its unit cell dimensions are a = 32.394（9） ？, b = 12.217（4） ？, c = 10.175（3） ？, β = 97.852（13）° with Z = 12 and the refinement converged to R = 0.034 and ωR = 0.065. Hirshfeld surface analyses, especially d_（norm）surface and fingerprint plots were used for decoding intermolecular interactions in the crystal network. The optimized geometric parameters, normal mode frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments of the present compound were theoretically examined by the DFT/B3 LYP method with the Lan L2 DZ basis set. The thermal and dielectric analyses suggested the presence of ferroelectric phase transition at 314 K.展开更多

All bond dissociation enthalpies were computed at the same theoretical level. It was found that hydrogen abstraction pathway is the most favorable. There are two hydrogen abstraction pathways with activation barriers of 0.630 and 4.988 kJ/mol, respectively, while chlorine abstraction pathway was not found. It was observed that activation energies have a more reasonable correlation with the reaction enthalpy changes （ΔHr） than with bond dissociation enthalpies （BDE）.展开更多

It was indicated that the most stable isomer was 42,43,62,63-C78（CH2）2, where the -CH2 groups were added to the 6/6 bonds located at the same hexagon passed by the longest axis of C78 （C2v）, to form cyclopropane structures. Based on the most stable four geometries of C78（CH2）2 optimized at B3LYP/3-21G level, the first absorptions in the electronic spectra calculated with the INDO/CIS method and the IR frequencies of the C-C bonds on the carbon cage computed using the AM1 method were blue-shifted compared with those of C78 （C2v） because of the bigger LUMO-HOMO energy gap and the less conjugated carbon cage after the addition. The chemical shifts of ^13C NMR for the carbon atoms on the added bonds calculated at B3LYP/3-21G level were moved upfield thanks to the conversion from sp^2-C to sp^3-C.展开更多
