The molecular structure, the Natural Bond orbital (NBO) and the Time Dependent-DFT of both isomers cis or γ-Cl and trans or δ-Cl of RuCl2(L)2, where L stands respectively for 2-phenylazopyridine (Azpy), 2,4-dimethyl...The molecular structure, the Natural Bond orbital (NBO) and the Time Dependent-DFT of both isomers cis or γ-Cl and trans or δ-Cl of RuCl2(L)2, where L stands respectively for 2-phenylazopyridine (Azpy), 2,4-dimethyl-6-[phenylazo]pyridine (Dazpy), 2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)azopyridine] (Mazpy) and 2-pyridylazonaphtol (Nazpy) were calculated with DFT method at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level. The prediction of the frontier orbitals (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital or HOMO and Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital or LUMO) shows that the most active complexes suitable for electronic reactions are admitted to be the trans isomers. Moreover, δ-RuCl2 (Azpy)2 is discovered to react more actively as photo-sensitizer since its energy gap is the minimum. Besides, electronic structures of all complexes through NBO calculation indicate that Ru-N bonds are made of delocalization of occupancies from lone pair orbital of N atoms to the ruthenium. Moreover, Ru was assumed to have almost the same charge regardless the structure of the azopyridine ligands in the complex indicating that the ligands provide only a steric effect that is responsible for the ruthenium’s selectivity. Concerning the transition state, NBO analysis also highlights that the transition LP(Ru) π*(N1-N2) does correspond to t2g?π*(L). This transition is assumed to correspond to Metal to Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) that is responsible for the photo-sensitiveness of the metallic complex. Besides, TDDFT calculation of complexes showed that δ-RuCl2(Nazpy)2 displays the largest band during the absorption. For that reason, it is admitted to be the best photosensitizer due to a large system of conjugation provided by Nazpy ligand.展开更多

The results confirm that the strength of dihydrogen bonding increases in the following order of proton donors： C（sp3）-H〈C（sp2）-H〈C（sp）-H and chlorine substituents enhance the C-H…H interaction. In the majority of the complexes with a cyclic structure, the Mg-H proton-accepting bond is more sensitive to the surroundings than C-H proton-donating bond. The nature of the electrostatic interaction in these C-H…H dihydrogen bonds was also unveiled by means of the atoms in mo- lecules（AIM） analysis. The natural bond orbital（NBO） analysis suggests that the charge transfer in the cyclic com- plexes is characteristic of dual-channel. The direction of the net charge transfer in the cyclic complexes is contrary to that previously found in dihydrogen bonded systems.展开更多
The energies, geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies of 1 ： 1 5-hydroxytryptamine-water （5-HT-H20） complexes are studied at the MP2/6-311 ＋ ＋ G（d,p） level.

Natural bond orbital （NBO）, quantum theory of atoms in molecules （QTAIM） analyses and the localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis （LMO-EDA） were performed to explore the nature of the hydrogen-bonding interactions in these complexes. Various types of hydro- gen bonds （H-bonds） are formed in these 5-HT-H20 complexes. The intermolecular C4H55HT＇＂Ow H-bond in HTW3 is strengthened due to the cooperativity, whereas no such cooperativity is found in the other 5-HT-H20 complexes. H-bond in which nitrogen atom of amino in 5-HT acted as proton donors was stronger than other H-bonds. Our researches show that the hydrogen bonding interaction plays a vital role on the relative stabilities of 5-HT-H20 complexes.展开更多

Among the used methods in this study, the obtained results show that B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ method is in good agreement with the available experimental values. Based on the optimized ground state geometries using B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ method, the natural bond orbital （NBO） analysis of donor-acceptor （bond-antibond） interactions revealed that the stabilization energies associated with the electronic delocalization from non-bonding lone-pair orbitals [LP（e）x3] to C＊C（1）- H（2） antibonding orbital, decrease from compounds 1 to 3. The LP（e）x3→σ＊c（1）-H（2） resonance energies for compounds 1--3 are 23.37, 16.05 and 12.46 kJ/mol, respectively. Also, the LP（e）xa→σ＊c（1）-H（2） delocalizations could fairly explain the decrease of occupancies of LP（e）x3 non-bonding orbitals in ring of compounds 1-3 （3 〉2 〉 1）. The electronic delocalization from LP（e）x3 non-bonding orbitals to σ＊c（1）-G（2） antibonding orbital increases the ground state structure stability, Therefore, the decrease of LP（e）x3→σ＊c（1）-H（2） delocalizations could fairly explain the kinetic of the dehydrogenation reactions of compounds 1-3 （kl〉k2〉k3）. Also, the donor-acceptor interactions, as obtained from NBO analysis, revealed that the πc（4）=c（7）→σ＊c（1）-H（2） resonance energies decrease from compounds 1 to 3. Further, the results showed that the energy gaps between πC（4）-C（7） bonding and σ＊c（1）-H（2） antibonding orbitals decrease from compounds 1 to 3. The results suggest also that in compounds 1--3, the hydrogen elimi- nations are controlled by LP（e）→σ＊ resonance energies. Analysis of bond orde展开更多
