Abstract:
The structural, photophysical, and vibrational properties of a new hydroxyphenylamino Meldrum's acid derivative, 3-((2-hydroxyphenylamino)methylene)-1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane-2,4-dione (HMD), were studied. The comparison of experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra can help understand basic vibration patterns and provides a better interpretation of IR spectra. The UV-Vis spectrum of HMD was computed using density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) basis set in the gas state, and the maximum wavelength was in accord with the experimental data. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and Hirshfeld surface analysis confirmed O(1)-H(1A)···O(2) intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the HMD molecule. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis provided delocalizing interactions between π→π* orbitals and n→σ*/π* charge transfer transitions. Finally, the thermal gravimetric (TG)/differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and the non-linear optical (NLO) properties of HMD were also reported.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...

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,...
