Nitrogen-rich heterocycles are attractive candidates for next-generation energetic materials because they can deliver high heats of formation while producing relatively benign, N2-rich decomposition products. In this work, three nitrogen-rich frameworks 3,6-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)−1,2,4,5-tetrazine (H2BTTz), 2,4,6-tris(tetrazol-5-yl)−1,3,5-triazine (H3TTT), and 2,3,5,6-tetra(tetrazol-5-yl)pyrazine (H4TTP) were investigated using a combined conformational sampling and density functional theory (DFT) approach. Initial conformational searches were carried out with the MMFF method, and the lowest-energy structures were optimised at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level a widely used compromise between accuracy and computational cost for nitrogen-rich energetic molecules. Electronic structure analyses included frontier molecular orbitals, Mulliken and natural population charges, and molecular electrostatic potential maps. Energetic performance was evaluated through heats of formation, detonation velocity and pressure, and impact sensitivity estimates. Topological descriptors such as ELF, LOL, and NCI were analyzed using Multiwfn program. The calculated HOMO–LUMO gaps (3.54-4.90 eV) indicate electronically stable molecular frameworks. Gas-phase formation enthalpies were converted to condensed-phase values using a sublimation correction, and detonation properties were estimated via the Kamlet–Jacobs equations. The predicted performance follows the order H4TTP > H2BTTz > H3TTT. Although their detonation performance is lower than that of FOX-7 and CL-20, these nitrogen-rich systems remain promising candidates for reduced-sensitivity energetic materials and merit further experimental investigation.

Şentürk, Şükrü; Fardad, Fraidoon; Ekincioğlu, Yavuz
The lowest energy structures along with the low lying isomer, stabilities, electronic properties, optical properties and nonlinear optical responses of KnCl (n = 2-7) clusters were studied within the density functional theory. The second order energy difference, dissociation energy and GH-L (HOMO-LUMO gap) point out that KnCl (n = 3, 5, 7) clusters are more stable. The calculated adiabatic ionization energies (AIE) for the KnCl (n = 2-6) clusters are in agreement with the measured ionization energies. The optical properties, namely optical electronegativity and refractive index, depends on the GH-L energy values. The K atom capped planar rhombus geometry of the K4Cl causes the noticeable vibrational frequency shift compared to the rest of IR spectra of the clusters. The first static hyperpolarizability (β o) values are in the range of 2.33 × 103-2.87 × 104 au and the second static hyperpolarizability varies between 5.74 × 106 au and 38.9 × 106 au for the cluster. The nonlinear optical response is due to the superalkali nature of KnCl (n = 2-7) clusters. From computed β vec values, the hyperpolarizability has projection on the dipole moment vector for the superalkalis except the K2Cl and K5Cl. The absorption spectra point out that KnCl (n = 6-7) clusters can be suitable as a NLO material since they have transparency in the deep UV region (λ< 300 nm).

(Graph Presented) The 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidine abbreviated as ACMP have been investigated by both the experimental and theoretical methods; through this work we provide the essential fact about the structural and vibrational insights. The optimized molecular structure, atomic charges, vibrational frequencies and ultraviolet spectral interpretation of ACMP have been studied by performing DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(df,pd) level of theory. The FT-IR, FT-Raman spectra were recorded in the region 4000-400 cm -1 and 4000-50 cm-1 respectively. The UV absorption spectrum of the compound that dissolved in ethanol and water solution were recorded in the range of 200-400 nm. The scaled wavenumbers are compared with the experimental values. The difference between the observed and scaled wavenumber values of most of the fundamentals is very small. Based on the UV spectrum and TD-DFT calculations, the electronic structure and the assignments of the absorption bands were carried out. The 1H, 13C and DEPT 135 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the molecule were calculated using with the Gauge Including Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method and compared with experimental results. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) analysis were investigated using theoretical calculations.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2013Scopus SJRQ2Experimental and theoretical FTiR and FT-Raman spectroscopic analysis of 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid
Karabacak, M.; Cinar, M.; Kurt, M.; Chinna Babu, P.; Sundaraganesan, N.
The title molecule 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid (1PCA) has been characterized by FTiR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Vis spectral analyses. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational modes, the corresponding wavenumbers and iR intensities of 1PCA were calculated by DFT method with 6-311G(d, p) basis set. The assignments of the fundamentals were proposed on the basis of total energy distribution (TED) calculations. The calculated 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts using gauge including atomic orbitals (GiAOs) approach are in good agreement with the observed chemical shifts. The polarizability and first order hyperpolarizability of the title molecule were calculated and interpreted. Using TD-DFT method, the electronic transitions have been compared with the experimental wavelengths. The molecular electrostatic potential map was used for prediction of possible hydrogen and oxygen bonding sites 1PCA molecule.
