Abstract:
Currently, we reported the synthesis of six novel salicylaldehyde-based thiosemicarbazones (BHCT1-HBCT6) via condensation of salicylaldehyde with respective thiosemicarbazide. Through various spectroscopic methods, UV-visible and NMR, the chemical structures of BHCT1-HBCT6 compounds were determined. Along with synthesis, a computational study was also performed at the M06/6-31G(d,p) functional. Various analyses such as natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, natural population analysis, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis, and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces were carried out to understand the nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics of the synthesized compounds. Additionally, a comparative study was carried out between DFT and experimental results (UV-vis study), and a good agreement was observed in the results. The energy gap calculated through FMOs was found to be in decreasing order as 4.505 (FHCT2) > 4.499 (HBCT6) > 4.497 (BHCT1) = 4.497(HMCT5) > 4.386 (CHCT3) > 4.241(AHCT4) in eV. The global reactivity parameters (GRPs) were attained through E HOMO and E LUMO, which described the stability and hardness of novel compounds. The NBO approach confirmed the charge delocalization and stability of the molecules. Among all the investigated compounds, a larger value (557.085 a.u.) of first hyperpolarizability (βtot) was possessed by CHCT3. The NLO response (βtot) of BHCT1-HBCT6 was found to be 9.145, 9.33, 13.33, 5.43, 5.68, and 10.13 a.u. times larger than that of the standard para-nitroaniline molecule. These findings ascertained the potential of entitled ligands as best NLO materials for a variety of applications in modern technology.
