Abstract
Azithromycin ethanol solvate monohydrate [C38H72N2O120.5(C2H6O)H2O], abbreviated by AZM-MH-EtOH, was synthesized by slow evaporation method and investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) studies. Electronic and vibrational properties were properly investigated based on a theoretical study of solvation effects, using implicit solvation and solute electron density models. The electronic and vibrational studies were evaluated under aqueous, ethanolic, and vacuum conditions. The electronic structure calculations indicated that the AZM-MH-EtOH is chemically more stable in solvents compared to vacuum condition. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) measurements confirmed the stability of the material in ethanolic medium, due to higher absorbance values compared to the aqueous medium. Vibrational changes were observed in the Raman and IR bands, which have connection with hydrogen bonds. The experimental vibration modes showed better accordance with the predicted modes’ values under solvation effects, but a slight divergence is noticed when we compared to vibration modes obtained in vacuum. Furthermore, the results have revealed a greater affinity profile of AZM-MH-EtOH for water and ethanol solvents compared to theoretical data under vacuum condition.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
