The vibrational frequencies, atomic charges and the related properties of the 2,2,2-trichloro-N,N-bis(2-(2,2,2-trichloroacetamido)phenyl)acetamide (H2LNNN) were investi-gated by Ab-initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods such as BLYP, B3LYP, B3PW91 and mPW1PW91 functionals with 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. The experimentally determined parameters were compared with those calculated theoretically and they were found to complement each other with a very good correlation. The theoretical vibrational spectrum of H2LNNN molecule was interpreted by means of potential energy distributions using the SQM 2.0 program. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out to discuss the role of the hydrogen bonds and other intermolecular contacts in crystal lattice. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed the occurrence of Cl⋯H, Cl⋯Cl, Cl⋯C, H···H, O⋯H, C···H and Cl···π interactions that display an important role on the crystal packing stabilization of the compound.
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.
