Electronic Properties of Aldehyde Complexes Using DFT for Electrooptical Activity

Abstract

Characterization of materials infer for physical and chemical properties that depend on its molecular structure. Structure of molecule has its dependence on respective electrons of molecule under consideration occupying their positions that correspond to changes in density of electrons. Many theories of its kind were developed to study density of electrons with roots from wavefunction method and electron density method. Wavefunction method has its dependence with linear combination of atomic orbitals, Born approximation, variational principle ,potential energy surfaces for development of Huckel theory, Hartree fock self-consistent theory. Electron density method includes Ab-intio method and density functional theory is possible with Kohenberbg-Kohn existence theorem and Kohn Sham formalism. Density functional studies has diverted attention of researches for properties dependent on structure with use of quantum mechanical descriptors that influence chemical reactivity of molecule forming complexes with properties responsible for electrooptical activity. In the present work complexes with p-anisaldehyde were studied with set of anilines using Gaussian 16 package with B3LYP method. Studies in present work were analyzed from computed infrared spectra responsible for formation of complexes with shifts in wavenumbers; quantum mechanical descriptors for electronic properties. A feature of study is that complexes with p-nitroaniline have greater tendency influence on electronic properties responsible for electrooptical activity due to electrophilic nature.
