A new isophorone derivative, (E)-3-(2-chlorostyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone, was synthesized by aldol reactions and characterized by single crystal diffraction method to determine the molecular structure. The computational analysis based on density functional theory with Becke's three-parameter hybrid functional was carried out using Lee, Yang and Parr correlation functional (B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p), to investigate the structural parameters, the values of dipole moment, the total polarizability, the first-order hyperpolarizability for the non-linear optical behaviour and the thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures 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.
