CONFORMATIONAL PROPERTIES AND INTRAMOLECULAR HYDROGEN BONDING OF 3-AMINO-PROPENESELENAL: AN AB INITIO AND DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDIES

چکیده مقاله

In the present work a conformational analysis of 3-amino-propeneselenal (APS) was performed using several computational methods, including DFT (B3LYP), MP2 and G2MP2. Harmonic vibrational frequencies were estimated at the same levels to con¯rm the nature of the stationary points found and also to account for the zero point vibrational energy (ZPVE) correction. Two intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) established between the polar groups were identi¯ed by the structural geometric parameters. The excited-state properties of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in hydrogen bonded systems have been investigated theoretically using the time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The in°uence of the solvent on the stability order of conformers and the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonding was considered using the polarized continuum model (PCM), the self-consistent isodensity polarized continuum model (SCI-PCM) and the integral equation formalism-polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM) methods. The \atoms in molecules" theory of Bader was used to analyze critical points and to study the nature of HB in these systems. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was also performed for better understanding the nature of intramolecular interactions. The calculated the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies show that charge transfer occur within the molecule. Further veri¯cation of the obtained transition state structures were implemented via intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analysis. Calculations of the 1H NMR chemical shift at GIAO/ B3LYP/6311þþG** level of theory are also presented.
