Theoretical structure and vibrational spectra of ciprofloxacin: density functional theory study
1Institute of Watershed Science and Environmental Ecology, Wenzhou Medical College, Zhejiang 325035, China.
Abstract:
The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of ciprofloxacin(1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid) have been calculated using the different density functional theory (DFT) methods and various basis sets. This paper examines the comparative performance of different DFT methods at various basis sets in predicting molecular and vibrational spectra of ciprofloxacin. The calculation results show that SVWN/LANL2DZ level and SVWN/6-31G level offer the highest certainty to predict the structure and vibrational spectra of ciprofloxacin, respectively.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
