The Geometry Structure and Molecular Vibrational Property of the Zeatin

Abstract

Zeatin belongs to the derivation of purine, and the C=C is one of the functional groups in the zeatin structure. So, there are trans- and cis- structures for the zeatin molecule. Interestingly, the trans-zeatin has biological activities, but the cis-zeatin has no obvious biological activity. The trans-zeatin is the first separated cell cytokinins from the plant tissue. And the zeatin, especially trans-zeatin has important and extensive applications in many research fields. In this study, the Geometries of the trans-zeatin and cis-zeatin were optimized by using the density function Becke, three-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr, DFT/B3LYP/6-31G method. Additionally, FT-IR experiments were conducted for the trans-zeatin. The geometry structures and molecular vibrational property of the zeatin were simply discussed.
