Then, theoretical calculations have been performed at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) higher based scale. The theoretical and experimental geometrical parameters and frequencies have been compared well. Theoretical and experimental NMR chemical shifts have been determined. Absorption wavelengths of UV–Vis spectrum were experimentally measured and compared with TD-DFT predictions. Detailed explanations have been given for frontier molecular orbitals, low density gradient, distribution of Mulliken charges, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), RDG, localized orbital location, and electron localized activities. Based on the studied 2D image of the Hirschfield surfaces, H···H (65.6%) and O···H/H···O (33.6%) are found as the controlling interactions. A high binding affinity of −6.5 Kcal/mol has been calculated against 4OAR protein. These theoretical findings of the molecule may be used as an anticancer drug candidate, which helps to explain the structural stability, reactivity and anticancer potential of TDCA.

It was found that the optimized structure belonged to the <i>cis</i>-N8 structure through comparing the theoretical IR with experimental IR spectra. The third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state for N8 was obtained up to 10 GPa, where the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative were 10.91 GPa and 7.689, respectively. More importantly, the pressure dependence of Laplacian bond order indicated that the five-membered ring opening was the first step in the decomposition process, and that high pressure could inhibit the decomposition process of N8 due to the reinforcement of non-covalent interactions.

It arises from the abnormal proliferation of cells within breast tissue and can manifest in several subtypes, classified by the expression of hormone receptors. The main objective of this work is to assess the effect of solvent on 2-methoxy-4-allylphenol's (2M4AP) in quantum chemical calculations and ability of 2M4AP to bind with the proteins associated with breast cancer. The non-toxic nature of 2M4AP was initially validated through drug-likeness studies and it complies with Lipinski's criteria. The optimization of 2M4AP structure was carried out in gas and liquid phase in DFT technique with B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) level. Then the electronic spectrum was calculated in TD-DFT technique and the transition was determined to be <i>n</i> → <i>σ</i>*. The steadiness, charge dispersal and electronic properties were assessed and the band energy value was calculated to be 5.58 eV (gas) and 5.64 eV (liquid), exhibiting a stable confirmation of 2M4AP structure. Topological characteristics exhibited the intermolecular connections of 2M4AP along with electronic features. From the simulated results, the effect of solvent (water) in 2M4AP was very minimal and the structure is stable in both gas and liquid phase. Further, the docking studies, 2M4AP exhibited highest binding score of −7.3 kcal/mol with progesterone receptor, confirming the better ability of 2M4AP to react in hormone-positive breast cancer. The Ramachandran plot confirms the stability of interacted amino acids with the ligand molecule.

Majority of the 18 optimized halide (chloride and bromide) complexes prefer square planar configuration. The correlations discerned between the experimental structural data and their estimated counterparts demonstrate a good credibility for complexes at lower multiplicity state. The basis set superposition errors (BSSEs) estimated is very small which reflects the fact that the choice of different basis sets (B3LYP//LANL2DZ/6–311+G (d,p)) introduces a slight bias in the calculation of energies. The ADMP (atom-centered density matrix propagation) simulations in water on chloride complexes indicate the irreversible nature of these M—N dissociation in trajectory simulation process. This fact explains our exclusive focus on the examination of the [glyoxime ligand]…[MX₂] interactions. In addition, the solvation of (3d and 4d) transition metal chloride complexes causes a sensitive augmentation of the metal ion affinity (MIA) with an average of 0.29 and 0.24 kcal/mol. In both multiplicity states, the topological parameters have illustrated that the M—N and M—X bonds are typical metal–ligand in both media.

But, the maximal value equal to 6.760 is obtained for bromide rhodium complex in water. NBO analysis in both media highlights the fact that a more pronounced ionic character is observed for the majority of the chloride complexes at both spin multiplicity states because of their higher retained charges on the metal atom.
