Spectroscopic and DFT studies of flurbiprofen as dimer and its Cu(II) and Hg(II) complexes

Abstract

The vibrational study in the solid state of flurbiprofen and its Cu(II) and Hg(II) complexes was performed by IR and Raman spectroscopy. The changes observed between the IR and Raman spectra of the ligand and of the complexes allowed us to establish the coordination mode of the metal in both complexes. The comparative vibrational analysis of the free ligand and its complexes gave evidence that flurbiprofen binds metal (II) through the carboxylate oxygen. The fully optimized equilibrium structure of flurbiprofen and its metal complexes was obtained by density functional B3LYP method by using LanL2DZ and 6-31 G(d,p) basis sets. The harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities and Raman scattering activities of flurbiprofen were calculated by density functional B3LYP methods by using 6-31G(d,p) basis set. The scaled theoretical wavenumbers showed very good agreement with the experimental values. The electronic properties of the free molecule and its complexes were also performed at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Detailed interpretations of the infrared and Raman spectra of flurbiprofen are reported. The UV-vis spectra of flurbiprofen and its metal complexes were also investigated in organic solvents.

HOMO-LUMO, NBO and Vibrational analysis of Sitagliptin by using DFT calculations and Experimental Study (FT-IR, FTRaman and UV-Visible Spectroscopies)

“…The energy gap between HOMO and LUMO is a critical parameter in describing molecular electrical transport properties [28]. In recent times the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO were used to prove the bioactivity from intermolecular charge transfer [62][63]. In this present study, the 3D structure of the HOMO and LUMO for the title molecule are shown in Fig.…”

“…Therefore, it is clear that the charge transfer (CT) occurs in serotonin. The energy gap between MOs has been confirmed to show the bioactivity based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) [57,58].…”

Electronic, optical, and spectroscopic analysis of TBADN organic semiconductor: Experiment and theory

“…10. HOMO-LUMO energy gap is used as a quantum chemical descriptor in establishing correlations for chemical and biochemical systems [33]. A large HOMO-LUMO gap implies high stability for the molecules in the sense of its lower charge transfer in complexes.…”
