Abstract:
A series of newly synthesized potent bioactive 2-pyrrolyl styryl ketone derivatives were characterized by spectral techniques. The effect of substituent on the absorption maximum, IR stretching frequencies and NMR chemical shifts were investigated. DFT calculations were made to calculate HOMO-LUMO energies and natural bond orbital analysis [NBO]. The electric dipole moment (μ) and the hyperpolarisability (β) of the investigated molecules have also been studied and found that these synthesized molecules exhibits microscopic non-linear optical (NLO) behavior with non-zero tensor components.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
