Abstract:
In this study, we report the synthesis of a new compound, N4,N4-dimethyl-2-(methylsulfanyl)-N6-(4-phenoxyphenyl)pyrimidine-4,6-diamine (DMS), and its comprehensive analysis through structural and spectroscopic characterizations, reactivity parameters, and nonlinear optical properties, utilizing a combination of experimental and computational techniques. The experimental aspect of the investigation encompassed structural characterization using X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic assessments employing Fourier-transform infrared, Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, along with thermal analysis. Our computational approach involved density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the local reactivity properties of DMS. We employed fundamental reactivity descriptors to evaluate DMS's local reactivity and utilized MD simulations to identify DMS atoms engaging in significant interactions with water molecules. We conducted periodic DFT calculations on DMS's crystal structure to investigate the contributions of specific atoms and groups to the compound's overall stability as well as to analyze noncovalent interactions between DMS molecules. We assessed the nonlinear optical properties through dynamic second hyperpolarizability and third-order nonlinear susceptibility calculations. Additionally, we conducted a comparative analysis of the static and dynamic second hyperpolarizability for the DMS molecule within the sum-over-states framework. The obtained value for the third-order nonlinear susceptibility, (λ = 1907 nm), exceeds those of other organic materials reported in previous studies, indicating that the DMS crystal holds promise as a nonlinear optical material for potential application in photonic device fabrication. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed with the 3E5A, 4EUT, and 4EUU proteins, yielding binding affinities of -8.1, -8.2, and -8.3 kcal/mol, respectively, in association with the ligand.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
