Quantum Chemical Study of the Solvent Effect on the Anticancer Active Molecule of Iproplatin: Structural, Electronic, and Spectroscopic Properties (IR, 1H NMR, UV)

Abstract

The structural, electronic, and spectroscopic properties of the anticancer active molecule of iproplatin were investigated in the gas and liquid phases. Based on the polarizable continuum model (PCM), the solvent effect on the structural parameters, frontier orbitals, and spectroscopic parameters of the complex was investigated. The results indicate that the polarity of solvents plays a significant role in the structure and pro perties of the complex. 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts were calculated using the Gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. Pt–Cl and Pt–OH bonds were investigated through a vibrational analysis. Moreover, time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was used to calculate the energy, oscillatory strength, and wavelength absorption maximum (λmax) of electronic transitions and its nature within the complex.
