Biotin may exhibit 1,3-proton tautomerism. All the composites presently considered have not only exothermic heat of formation values but also favorable Gibbs free energy of formation values. They are electronically stable. Various quantum chemical data have been collected and discussed including UV-VIS spectra. In all the cases, charge of the magnesium cation is less than the initial formal charge of +2 which means that some electron population has been transferred from biotin tautomers to the magnesium cation depending on the tautomeric structure or conformational form. The magnesium cation causes lowering of the frontier molecular orbitals in unequal extents and appears to be more effective on the LUMO energy level in some cases of the composites. Whereas in composite-B, it is more effective on the HOMO energy level. The calculated UV-VIS spectra occur in a large range of wavelengths such that some composites exhibit bathochromic shifts to above 600 nm.","PeriodicalId":11449,"journal":{"name":"Earthline Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the interfrontier molecular orbital energy gap values DNNC is found to be more sensitive to impulse stimulus than the others. Also radicals obtained from DNNC isomers considered (by the homolytic rapture of C-NO2 or N-NO2 bonds) have been focus of present interest. The radicals obtained by the cleavage of geminal C-NO2 bonds have exothermic Hº and favorable Gº values at the standard states and electronically stable as their respective parent compounds. Although, some of the radicals generated by the homolytic cleavage of N-NO2 bonds are thermo chemically exothermic and stable, like the radicals mentioned above, the radicals from the isomer having all the nitro groups in vicinal configuration decomposes by eliminating one of the geminal nitro groups.","PeriodicalId":11449,"journal":{"name":"Earthline Journal of Chemical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
