DFT/TDDFT Investigation on the Electronic Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of Cis-Dioxomolybdenum (VI) Complexes.

In this contribution, two mononuclear molybdenum complexes with H2L tridentate (ONO) Schiff base ligand are characterized using computational techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) and its time extension (TD-DFT) calculations are performed to study the electronic structure in ground and excited state and to interpret the electronic absorption spectra in gas and aqueous phases. TDDFT calculations affirm that the LMCT charge transfer dominates for both complexes and a hypochromic effect on absorption properties is observed according to solvent substitution.

Synthesis, Luminescence, and Energy Transfer Properties of YPO:Gd, Eu and YPO:Sm, Eu Phosphors.

This work is concerned with the search for new luminescent materials emitting in the orange-red color. We have synthesized YPO doped with Gd0.25% and/or Eu0.

Understanding the Inhibition of Mild Steel Corrosion by Dianiline Schiff Bases: a DFT Investigation.

Quantum chemical calculations at DFT/B3LYP level of theory with 6-31G, 6-311G, and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets were done to correlate the inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 by four dianiline Schiff bases namely N,N'-Bis(benzylidene)-4,4'-dianiline (DAA), N,N'-Bis (benzylidene)-4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDAA), N,N' Bis(benzylidene)-4,4'-sulphonyldianiline (SDAA) and N,N'-Bis(benzylidene)-4,4'-oxydianiline (ODAA) with their electronic and structural properties. Quantum chemical parameters such as the EHOMO, ELUMO, energy gap (ΔE), dipole moment (μ), global softness (σ), and global hardness (η) were calculated and discussed to provide valuable explanations for the reactivity and selectivity of the studied inhibitors. The results obtained showed a certain relationship to the experimental inhibition efficiency results earlier reported.
