Utilizing NMR (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), FT-IR, UV-Visible, and quantum chemical approaches by using the DFT technique, experiments on 2-phenylthioanline were carried out. The B3LYP method and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set were used to optimize the molecular structure and vibrational modes. The ideal binding parameters match up well with the experimental binding parameters. VEDA successfully finished the assignments concerning the distribution of potential energy. The GIAO method was used to calculate shifts in the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, and the outcomes were compared to experimental spectra. The TDDFT approach and the CPCM solvent model were used to examine electronic properties such as UV-Vis (in the gas phase, methanol, Acetone, and DCM), and the results were compared to experimental UV-Vis spectra. The HOMO/LUMO energy values provide sufficient proof of such. Molecular docking and dynamic simulations were carried out with a 2HI4 protein target and gave the best result among the three proteins.

A topological index is a number used in QSAR and QSPR research to assess the structural properties of a graph. The Sadhana and PI, polynomial-based topological indices, have been intensively explored in the study of chemical graph theory since a few years ago. These indices are computed using their related polynomials, however, in this study, we use an instantaneous and revolutionary approach to compute these indices for hexagonal boron nitride graphs and carbon nanotube structures.

A biodegradable catalyst based on natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) designed from Betaine and natural acids (Betaine: Citric Acid: H2O) with a molar ratio of (1:1.5:1) has been utilized in one-pot multi-component reaction for the synthesis of Isoxazol-5-ones derivatives in a mild, green and efficient manner. The reaction was carried out under different conditions that are, at 400C, ultrasonic and microwave. The developed method provided many advantages, including an excellent yield of up to 98% in a shorter reaction time, avoiding the use of toxic solvents and an easy handling process. Additionally, the use of NaDESs enabled the conservation of resources due to their simple preparation. The developed process adheres to the requirements of green chemistry by employing a bio-sourced and recyclable catalyst.

Imine-bridged meso-meso and β-meso unsymmetrical thien-2-yl porphyrin dyads were synthesized by condensation of meso- and β-formyl derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-methylthien-2-yl)porphyrinato nickel (II), Ni3MeThP with 5-(5-Aminothien-2-yl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinato nickel(II), Ni5AThPP in the presence of lanthanum(III)triflate catalyst in toluene at 120 °C for 8 h. The structural, photophysical, and redox properties were investigated by 1H NMR, UV/Vis spectral, and electrochemical analysis. The near coplanarity of the linker thien-2-yl group with the central porphyrin π-system, which can influence the electron delocalization of these molecules, is explained using electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The stronger electronic interaction between the two porphyrin units and the increased nonplanarity of the macrocycle brought about by the β-meso imine bridging is indicated by the larger shift of redox potentials in the dyad-2 as compared to the dyad-1 system. The results of the present investigation reveal that the two distinct porphyrin units in dyads interact via their near planar thien-2-yl linker.

The Mostar index is the sum of absolute values of the differences between and over all edges of G, where and are the number of vertices of G lying closer to vertex u than to vertex v and the number of vertices of G lying closer to vertex v than to vertex u, respectively. In this article, for given cata-condensed hexagonal systems with p hexagons, which have exactly two full-hexagons, we determine the extremal hexagonal system with the greatest Mostar index, and the corresponding formula of Mostar index is given.
莫斯塔尔指数 Mo(G)是 G 的所有边 e=uv 上 nu(e)和 nv(e)之差的绝对值之和,其中 nu(e)和 nv(e)分别是 G 中靠近顶点 u 而不是顶点 v 的顶点数,以及 G 中靠近顶点 v 而不是顶点 u 的顶点数。本文针对具有 p 个六边形且恰好有两个全六边形的卡塔缩合六边形系统,确定了莫斯塔尔指数最大的极值六边形系统,并给出了相应的莫斯塔尔指数公式。

After the pandemic COVID-19, global health agencies remind us that tuberculosis is the deadliest infectious disease worldwide. As per WHO reports, approximately ten million people are infected with tuberculosis every year. Only a small portion of global cases receive imperative life-saving medicines. Even in the face of enduring efforts in the discovery of effective management of tuberculosis, the disease remains to affect millions of patients worldwide, with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Considering the low treatment success, high drug treatment failure, and resistance to existing antituberculosis drugs, there is an urgency for the development of new chemical entities as antituberculosis agents. The development of resistance in tuberculosis (TB) patients to the medications used to treat and prevent the disease presents a significant challenge worldwide. Extensive research confines the molecules to counteract this disease has led to identifying many inhibitory pharmacophores. A wide range of compounds has been screened to find a novel ideal drug candidate for curing tuberculosis. Chalcone and its derivatives are considered precursors of flavonoids and isoflavonoids and display a diverse array of reported pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory and antituberculosis activities. As this field continues to evolve, these molecules present further opportunities for understanding the mechanism of antituberculosis action and the treatment of MDR. Here, we summarize the impact of chalcone derivatives in tuberculosis treatment. The current statuses of various synthetic chalcone-based approaches for tuberculosis treatment are systematically reviewed here.

We synthesized a new series of coumarin-piperazine 1,2,3-triazole hybrids (7a–7n) and screened for their in vitro anti-breast cancer activity against MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. The results revealed that compound 7f showed superior activity against all cell lines than the standard drug 5-fluorouracil. As well, compounds 7e, 7h, and 7k showed greater activity against MCF-7 than the positive control. Furthermore, 7f and 7h showed higher potency in inhibiting tyrosine kinase epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) than the standard drug erlotinib. Finally, in silico molecular docking studies on EGFR (PDB ID-4HJO) revealed that compounds 7e, 7f, 7h, and 7k possess good binding energies and inhibition constants as compared to erlotinib.

In order to study the connection between structure of the molecular and sensitizing performance in dye-sensitized solar cells, four new organic sensitizers with donor-pi spacer-acceptor structures were designed and synthesized. The structural characterization of all dye sensitizers was investigated using FT-IR, 13C and 1H NMR, CHN and UV–visible analyses. The electronic orbital transitions and optical properties were determined and discussed. (E)-2-cyano-3-(5-(3-(di-p-tolylamino)phenyl)furan-2-yl)acrylic acid (TPCA), (Z)-2-cyano-N′-((5-(3-(di-p-tolylamino)phenyl)furan-2-yl)acetohydrazide (TPCH), (E)-3-(5-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)furan-2-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid (MTPCA), and (Z)-N′-((5-(4-(bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)phenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)-2-cyanoacetohydrazide exhibited band gaps (Egap) in the range from 1.51 to 1.78 eV with λabs in the range of 486–589 nm. The dyes’ energy levels were investigated using the cyclic voltammetry technique and DFT calculations. To complement the comprehensive optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties, density functional theory studies were conducted. Besides, important parameters such as open-circuit voltage, light harvesting efficiency, and band gap energy of the dye sensitizers were calculated and discussed. The theoretically calculated open-circuit voltage (Voc) values ranged from 1.28 to 2.04 eV, while the light-harvesting efficiency (LHE) values varied from 0.11 to 0.22. Indeed, this theoretical research could guide chemists to synthesize effective dyes for DSSCs.

Topological indices have gained significant attention in the field of chemical graph theory. These indices offer quantitative measures that accurately represent the topology of molecular graphs, which are used to model chemical compounds. Generally, their physical properties are closely linked to the geometric structures of these compounds. In this paper, we introduce a new family of phenylene-quadrilateral networks that exhibit unique features. These studied topological structures can be seen as generalizations of the phenylenes. To analyze the generalized phenylene-quadrilateral networks, we propose a recursive method for calculating their Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning trees. This method is based on the relationship between the coefficients and roots of the characteristic polynomial.

This method is based on the relationship between the coefficients and roots of the characteristic polynomial.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20303,"journal":{"name":"Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136097730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
