A novel molecule, 10-(9-hexyl-9H-carbazol-3yl)-10H-phenothiazine-3-carbaldehyde (CZPTZA) has been synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, UV–Vis, NMR spectroscopic studies and molecular orbital calculations. Optimized geometrical structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies and NMR are computed with B3LYP method using 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. The geometrical parameters of the title compound obtained from Single Crystal XRD studies have been found in accord with the calculated (DFT) values. The experimentally observed vibrational frequencies are compared with the calculated ones, which were found to be in good agreement with each other. UV–Vis spectra of the title compound have also been recorded and the electronic properties, viz. excitation energies, calculated energies, oscillator strengths, frontier orbital energies and band gap energies are computed with TD-DFT/CAM-B3LYP method using 6-311++G (d,p) as the basis set. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the molecule have been calculated by the Gauge Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method and compared with the experimental outcome. Also, the values of dipole moment, polarizabilities and first order hyperpolarizabilities have been computed.
