DFT method has been used in combination with various basis sets to model the ionic cycloaddition of cationic heteroaromatic diene, 2,3-dimethylisoquinoliniuim ion with cyclopentadiene with a view to understand the factors that influence the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. Calculations show that this reaction is an inverse electron demand type reaction and it passes through highly...

A new rare variety asymmetric μ2-1,1-azido bridged copper(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. The complex [Cu2L2(μ2-1,1-N3)2] · H2O · CH3OH (L = 1-(N-ortho-hydroxyacetophenimine)-2-aminoethane) (1), crystallizes in monoclinic space group, P21/n, with a = 9.469(4) Angstrom capital A, ring, b = 12.526(8) Angstrom capital A, ring, c = 12.899(10)...

The research activity within our laboratory of computational chemistry at the University of Fribourg is presented. In this review, a brief outline of a recently proposed Ligand Field Density Functional Theory (LFDFT) model for single nuclear and its extension to dimer transition metal complexes is given. Applications of the model to dinuclear complexes are illustrated for the interpretation...

An overview of the theory and applications of a recently proposed ligand-field density functional theory (LFDFT) is given. We describe a procedure based on DFT allowing to deduce the parameters of this non-empirical LF approach consisting of the following steps: (i) an average of configuration (AOC) DFT calculation, with equal occupancies of the d-orbitals is carried out (ii) with...

Potential curves for the ground and the first lowest excited states of the MHe (where M = {Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs,Fr}) exciplexes are calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) formalism. Relativistic calculations are carried out with and without spin-orbit (SO) coupling effect, using a zeroth order regular approximation (ZORA) approach. The depth De and position...

Metal (4f)-ligand (Cl 3p) bonding in LnCl63- (Ln = Ce to Yb) complexes has been studied on the basis of 4f->4f and Cl,3p->4f charge-transfer spectra and on the analysis of these spectra within the valence bond configuration interaction model to show that mixing of Cl 3p into the Ln 4f ligand field orbitals does not exceed 1%. Contrary to this, Kohn-Sham formalism...

A derivative version of the well-known direct inversion in the iterative subspace (DIIS) algorithm is presented. The method is used to solve the coupled perturbed Hartree–Fock (CPHF) equation to obtain the first and second derivatives of the density matrix with respect to an external electric field which, in this case, leads to the electric molecular polarizability and hyperpolarizability. Some...

In this article, we propose a theoretical study of static and dynamic polarizability α, first hyperpolarizability β, and second hyperpolarizability γ of substituted (M)-tetrathia-[7]-helicenes. Both a semiempirical approach, in the case of static and dynamic properties, and density functional theory, in the case of static electric properties, were used. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties...
