Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, X-ray structure and DFT studies on 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-5-ium chloride hydrate
Özet
The title molecular salt, 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-5-ium chloride hydrate (C12H14N3O+.Cl-.H2O), was synthesized and characterized by IR-NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition to the molecular geometry from X-ray experiment, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with the 6-31++G(d,p) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets, and compared with the experimental data. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution and non-linear optical properties of the title compound were investigated by theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31 1++G(d,p) level.
