Abstract

This study analyzed the aspirin molecule (C9H8O4) using Density Functional Theory (DFT) on Gaussian 09W software. First, the structure of aspirin was optimized using the DFT method with the B3LYP functional and the 6-311+G (d,p) basis set. A global reactivity study was employed to understand the reactivity of aspirin in gas and solvent water for both anion and neutral states. To understand the involvement of orbitals in chemical stability and electron conductivity, we calculated the HOMO-LUMO. The thermodynamic function of a molecule was understood using thermochemistry. Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) was employed to understand the physiochemical properties of aspirin. We observed the Mulliken atomic charge to calculate the atomic charge of aspirin. Finally, the title molecule's UV–Vis, FTIR, and Raman spectra are analyzed and compared with the experimental data.
