Molecular structure and vibrational assignment of 1-[N-(2-pyridyl) aminomethylidene}-2(1H)-Naphtalenone by density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations
Özet
The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of 1-[N-(2-pyridyl)aminomethylidene)-2(1H)-Naphtalenone lathe ground state have been calculated by using the Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The results of the optimized molecular structure are presented and compared with the experimental X-ray diffraction. The computed vibrational frequencies were used to determine the types of molecular motions associated with each of the experimental bands observed. In addition, calculated results are related to the linear correlation plot of computed data versus experimental geometric parameters and IR data. From the results it was concluded that the B3LYP method is superior to the HF method for the vibrational frequencies. Using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and Hartree-Fock (TD-HF) methods, electronic absorption spectra of the title compound have been predicted and a good agreement with the TO-OFT method and experimental ones is determined.
