The structural, electronic and spectroscopic properties of 4FPBAPE molecule: Experimental and theoretical study

Abstract

The experimental and theoretical study of 4-Formyl Phenyl Boronic Acid Pinacol Ester (4FPBAPE) molecule were performed in this work. 1H, 13C NMR and UV–Vis spectra were tested in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The structural, spectroscopic properties and energies of 4FPBAPE were obtained for two potential conformers from density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) and CAM-B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis sets. The optimal geometry of those structures was obtained according to the position of oxygen atom upon determining the scan coordinates for each conformation. The most stable conformer was found as the A2 form. The fundamental vibrations were determined based on optimized structure in terms of total energy distribution. Electronic properties such as oscillator strength, wavelength, excitation energy, HOMO, LUMO and molecular electrostatic potential and structural properties such as radial distribution functions (RDF) and probability density depending on coordination number are presented. Theoretical results of 4-FPBAPE spectra were found to be compatible with observed spectra.
