Highlights DFT calculations at B3LYP level allowed a better reproduction of the experimental geometry. The scaled and experimental FTIR spectra have been compared. NBO anlysis provided information on intra-molecular electron delocalization. MEP surface shows several possibles sites for electrophilic/nucleophilic attack. Large affinity value confirms strong biological activity of MBZ-N ligand with protein and its possible potential application as a drug.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
