Quantum mechanical, spectroscopic studies and molecular docking analysis on 5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione

Abstract

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 5,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (55D24D) were recorded and theoretical study has been done by quantum mechanical calculations of DFT using Gaussian software package. The structural, vibrational and electronic properties of the title compound were presented using the B3LYP method with 6–311++G(d,p) basis set. The experimental vibrational spectra were compared with the calculated spectra and each wavenumber was assigned on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED). Stability of the molecule arising from hyper conjugative interactions, charge delocalization has been analyzed utilizing Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The electron density-based local reactivity descriptors such as Fukui functions are calculated to explain the chemical selectivity or reactivity site in the title compound. The linear polarizability (α) and the first order hyperpolarizability (β) values of the investigated molecule have been calculated. The HOMO and LUMO energies show the chemical activity of the molecule. Mulliken population analysis on atomic charges, Molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEP) and thermodynamical properties of title compound have been calculated. To study the biological activity of the investigation title molecule, molecular docking was done to identify the hydrogen bond lengths and binding energy.
