Computational Studies On Molecular Structure And Vibrational Spectra Of An Organic Molecule 2-(2,4-Dimethyl Pyrrolyl) Benzothiazole Using Density Functional Theory

The optimized molecular geometry, atomic Mulliken charges, harmonic vibrational frequencies, thermodynamic properties, HOMO-LUMO and related molecular properties of 2-(2,4-Dimethyl Pyrrolyl) Benzothiazole were calculated by Density functional theory (DFT) using 6-31G and 6-311G basis set. The calculated bond lengths and bond angles are in good agreement with the experimental XRD data. The vibrational unscaled wavenumbers are calculated and are scaled by a proper scaling factor of 0.962 in case of 6-31G and 0.963 in case of 6-311G. The complete vibrational assignments of wave numbers were made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED) using Vibrational Energy Distribution Analysis (VEDA) program. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies show that charge transfer occurs within the molecule. Various parameters like ionization potential, electron affinity, global hardness, electron chemical potential, electronegativity and global electrophilicity of the titled molecule have been calculated. The thermodynamic properties like SCF energy, zero point vibrational energy, heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, dipole moment and rotational constants are calculated. The total electron density, molecular electrostatic potential and electrostatic potential maps are constructed using DFT/6-311G theory.
