摘要

Experimental FTIR and FT-Raman spectroscopic analysis of 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-nitropyridine (2C4M3NP) and 2-chloro-6-methylpyridine (2C6MP) have been performed. A detailed quantum chemical calculations have been carried out using B3LYP and B3PW91 methods with 6-311++G** and cc-pVTZ basis sets. Conformation analysis was carried for 2C4M3NP and 2C6MP. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties has been analysed. The atomic charges, electronic exchange interaction and charge delocalisation of the molecule have been performed by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP), total electron density distribution and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) are constructed at B3LYP/6-311++G** level to understand the electronic properties. The charge density distribution and site of chemical reactivity of the molecules have been obtained by mapping electron density isosurface with electrostatic potential surfaces (ESP). The electronic properties, HOMO and LUMO energies were measured by time-dependent TD-DFT approach.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
