The atomic structures and electronic properties of six classical and nonclassical $H_2O$@$C_{24}$ fullerene regioisomers are systematically studied using the hybrid density functional B3LYP method and M06-2X method with empirical dispersion in conjunction with the 6-31G(d,p) basis sets. The charge transfer, frontier orbitals, dipole moment, energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO, and volume change of the $C_{24}$ cage are analyzed upon encapsulation of a $H_2O$ molecule in each $C_{24}$ regioisomer. All encapsulation processes are endothermic and the relative stabilities of six $C_{24}$ fullerene regioisomers change upon encapsulation of $H_2O$.

Results of the comparisons of various density functional theory (DFT) methods with different basis sets for predicting the molecular geometry of TPOP24N-Oxide macrocycle, an oxoporphyrin N-oxide, are reported in this paper. DFT methods, including M06-2X, B3LYP, LSDA, B3PW91, PBEPBE, and BPV86, are examined. Different basis sets, such as 6-$31G^*$, 6-31+G (d, p), 6-311+G (d, p), and 6-311++G (d, p), are also considered. The M06-2X/6-$31G^*$ level is superior to all other density functional methods used in predicting the geometry of TPOP24N-Oxide. The geometries of regioisomeric chlorin N-oxide and oxoporphyrin N-oxide are reported using M06-2X/6-$31G^*$ method. The geometry effects of oxoporphyrin and chlorin N-oxide regioisomers are increased ${\beta}-{\beta}$ bond lengths by N-oxidation because the bond overlap index due to charge transfers is decreased. In N-oxidation ring (II, III), angles that include ${\beta}-{\beta}$ bond length increase as the bond overlap index of ${\beta}-{\beta}$ bond is decreased by N-oxidation. The potential energy surfaces of chlorin N-oxide and oxoporphyrin N-oxide are explored by M06-2X/6-$31G^*$, and single-point calculations are performed at levels up to M06-2X/6-311++G (d, p). Total and relative energies are then calculated. The results indicate that chlorin 24 N-oxides are more stable than chlorin 22 N-oxides in chlorin N-oxide regioisomers. Moreover, TPOP24N-Oxide is less stable than TPOP22N-Oxide.

In this study, Proline pentamer model was used to investigate change in the dihedral angle, intramolecular hydrogen bonding and formation energies during structural optimization. L-Proline (LP, as an imino acid residue) pentamers having four conformation types [β: φ/ψ=t−/t+, α: φ/ψ=g−/g−, PP_II: φ/ψ=g−/t+ and Plike: φ/ψ= g−/g+] were carried out by QCC [B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)]. The optimized structure and formation energy were examined for designated structure. In LP, P-like and PP_II types did not change by optimization, and β types were transformed into PP_II having no H-bond independently of the designated ψ values. PP_II was more stable than P-like by about 2.2 kcal/mol/mu. The hydrogen bond distances of d2(4-6) type H-bonds were 1.94 - 2.00Å. In order to understand the processes of the transformations, the changes of φ/ψ, distances of NH-OC (d_NH/CO) and formation energies (ΔE, kcal/mol/mu) were examined.

The cubic and quartic anharmonic force field of malonaldehyde is calculated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, and used to simulate coherent infrared vibrational spectra. 12 normal modes are included in the simulation, and the Arnoldi method is employed for the diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The calculated three pulse infrared signals in the k1 + k2 - k3 direction show signatures of the intramolecular hydrogen bond couplings between the C=O stretch, H-O-C bend and O-H stretch vibrations.

Ab initio Hartree-Fock and Becke 3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) density functional theory calculations using 6-31G* basis set were carried out to study the vibrational spectra of anthracene neutral (h10 and d10) and radical cation (h10). We report results of the fundamental vibrational frequencies obtained on the basis of the calculations. The assignments of fundamentals show a one-to-one correspondence between the observed and calculated fundamentals.

3-Acetyl-5-benzoyl-6-methyl-2-phenyl-4H-pyran-4-one has been subjected to condensation with a series of primary amines (ethylamine - octylamine) to clarify the proposed mechanism in our previous study. The reactions of the shorter amines of the series (ethylamine - butylamine) yielded unsymmetric pyridinone products, whereas the other amines (pentylamine - octylamine) yielded symmetrical pyridinones. The starting material and the products as well as the intermediates have been subjected to theoretical analysis by quantum chemical calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, which provided supporting data for the experimental findings.

An anharmonicity is a fundamental quantity shaping the potential for stretching OH vibration in phenol and its derivatives. The phenomenon is examined both by experimental and theoretical methods. FT-IR and NIR spectra of series of phenols derivatives were measured in the range of fundamental and first two Overtones of $_{s}(OH)$ Vibrations in $CCl_4$ solutions. The electronic influence of substituents on the analyzed frequencies is discussed and correlated with $pK_{a}$ parameters. Ab initio MP2/6-31G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(g,p) calculations of the potential for proton movement in OH group were performed. Equilibrium structures were also determined. The frequencies of fundamental and overtones were calculated by Numerov-type procedure. The results of calculations are compared with the experimental data. The best linear correlations were obtained for the results of MP2/6-31G(d,p) calculations. It was shown that some structural parameters are especially sensitive on substitution. The linear correlations were found between those parameters and spectroscopic data. The results of calculation are compared with available crystallographic data.

L-alanine (LA, as an amino acid residue) pentamer model was used to investigate changes in the dihedral angle, intramolecular hydrogen bonding and formation energies during structural optimization. LA pentamers having four conformation types [𝛽: 𝜑/𝜓=t-/t+, 𝛼: 𝜑/𝜓=g-/g-, PP_II: 𝜑/𝜓=g-/t+ and P-like: 𝜑/𝜓= g-/g+] were carried out by quantum chemical calculations (QCC) [B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)]. In LA, 𝛽, 𝛼, and P-like types did not change by optimization, having an intra-molecular hydrogen bond: NH⋯OC (H-bond), and PP_II types in the absence of H-bond were transformed into P-like at the designated 𝜓 of 140°, and to 𝛽 at that of 160° or 175°. P-like and 𝛼 were about 0.5 kcal/mol/mu more stable than 𝛽. In order to understand the processes of the transformations, the changes of 𝜑/𝜓, distances of NH-OC (d_NH/CO) and formation energies (𝜟E, kcal/mol/mu) were examined.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theoretical level were performed for two novel explosives (compounds B and C) based on the guanidine-fused bicyclic skeleton $C_4N_6H_8$ (A). The heats of formation (HOFs) were calculated via isodesmic reaction. The detonation properties were evaluated by using the Kamlet-Jacobs equations. The bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for the thermolysis initiation bond were also analyzed to investigate the thermal stability. The results show that the compounds have high positive HOF values (B, 1064.68 $kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$; C, 724.02 $kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$), high detonation properties (${\rho}$, D and P values of 2.04 $g{\cdot}cm^{-3}$ and 2.21 $g{\cdot}cm^{-3}$, 9.98 $km{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and 10.99 $km{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 46.44 GPa and 59.91 Gpa, respectively) and meet the basic stability requirement. Additionally, feasible synthetic routes of the these high energy density compounds (HEDCs) were also proposed via retrosynthetic analysis.

The structural and energetic preferences of thiacalix[4]biscrown-5 with and without alkali metal ions ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$, and $Cs^+$) have been theoretically investigated for the first time using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and density functional theory (MPWB1K/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d)) methods. The formation of the metal ion complex by the host is mainly driven by the electrostatic attraction between crown-5 oxygens and a cation together with the minor contribution of the cation-$\pi$ interaction between two facing phenyl rings around the cation. The computed binding energies and the atomic charge distribution analysis for the metal binding complexes indicate the selectivity toward a potassium ion. The theoretical results herein explain the experimentally observed extractability order by this host towards various alkali metal ions. The physical nature and the driving forces for cation recognition by this host are discussed in detail.
