Spectroscopic, Topological and NLO Activity of N N’ Diphenyl Thiourea Acetone Monosolvate: Experimental and Theoretical Approach

Abstract

The compound N,N’-Diphenylthiourea acetone monosolvate was synthesized using slow evapouration technique and characterized by FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV-visible spectra. The optimized molecular geometry (bondlength, bondangle and dihedral angle), the complete vibrational frequency were calculated by using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method with the help of 6-31 G(d,p) basis set. The protonated N–H…O intermolecular interaction liable for the NLO activity was deliberated using DFT method along with experimental spectroscopic techniques. The inter and intramolecular interactions accountable for the stabilization of the material was done via NBO and AIM analysis. In addition, the molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbital, global reactivity descriptors, Hirshfeld surface and 2D-fingerprint was analyzed to acquire a greater understanding of the molecular effect. UV-Vis spectrum of DPTA crystal exhibits good optical transmittance in the spectral analysis. By using spectroflurometer technique the green band region was observed in fluorescence emission spectrum. The dipole moment, polarizability, first-order hyperpolarizability (α 0), related properties (β, α 0 and Δα) and second-order hyperpolarizabilties were calculated for the identification of non-linear optical activity of the molecule. The molecular docking studies were performed to investigate the binding affinity of legend with target receptor.
