Çınar, Mehmet; Alım, Bünyamin; Alım, Zuhal; Şakar, Erdem
In this study, the ground state molecular structure and spectroscopic features of cis- and trans-forms of capsaicin were investigated using DFT (B3LYP) invoking 6–311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometry of capsaicin was determined for the isolated molecule in a vacuum, and then the vibrational spectra –IR and Raman-were obtained, and the assignments of fundamental vibrational modes were done. By applying the GIAO method, proton and carbon chemical shifts were computed for the gas and solvated phases. Besides using the TD-DFT, the Hirshfeld surface and Molecular Electrostatic Potential surfaces were obtained and evaluated to understand the electronic properties. The Total and partial density of state (TDOS and PDOS) spectra were also examined. All obtained computational results were compared with the previously reported experimental data. A high accuracy was obtained for the ground state geometrical structure, and thus, the vibrational frequencies especially lie on the finger print region are predicted also with a high correlation. Similarly, the optimization of chemical shift values calculated by considering solvent effects with experimental data were found as high R2 values of 0.9953 and 0.9455 for C and H atoms, respectively. This comparison shows that the DFT method precisely predicts capsaicin's molecular and spectroscopic characteristics.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2015Scopus SJRQ1An experimental and density functional study on conformational and spectroscopic analysis of 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid
Cinar, Mehmet; Karabacak, Mehmet; Asiri, Abdullah M.
In this article, a brief conformational and spectroscopic characterization of 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (5-MeOICA) via experimental techniques and applications of quantum chemical methods is presented. The conformational analysis of the studied molecule was determined theoretically using density functional computations for ground state, and compared with previously reported experimental findings. The vibrational transitions were examined by measured FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopic data, and also results obtained from B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP functionals in combination with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The recorded proton and carbon NMR spectra in DMSO solution were analyzed to obtain the exact conformation. Due to intermolecular hydrogen bondings, NMR calculations were performed for the dimeric form of 5-MeOICA and so chemical shifts of those protons were predicted more accurately. Finally, electronic properties of steady compound were identified by a comparative study of UV absorption spectra in ethanol and water solution and TD-DFT calculations.

The optimized geometrical structure, vibrational and electronic transitions, chemical shifts and nonlinear optical properties of 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid (HABA) compound were presented in this study. The ground state geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers were carried out by using density functional (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The vibrational spectra of title compound were recorded in solid state with FT-IR and FT-Raman spectrometry in the range of 4000-400 cm-1 and 4000-10 cm-1; respectively. The fundamental assignments were done on the basis of the recorded spectra and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in deuterated DMSO solution, and gauge-invariant atomic orbitals (GIAOs) method was used to predict the isotropic chemical shifts. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the compound were observed in the range of 200-800 nm in ethanol, methanol and water solvents. To investigate the nonlinear optical properties, the polarizability, anisotropy of polarizability and molecular first hyperpolarizability were computed. A detailed description of spectroscopic behaviors of compound was given based on the comparison of experimental measurements and theoretical computations.
