Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly contagious and dangerous virus that caused the global COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. It primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to severe illness and high rates of mortality worldwide. The virus enters the body by binding to a receptor called ACE2, which is present in specific cells of the lungs known as type 2 alveolar epithelial cells.

The geometrical parameters and vibrational frequencies obtained from the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory are in good agreement with the experimental values. The presence of strong hydrogen bonding interactions in the molecule causes an intense absorption peak in the infrared spectrum below 2000 cm.

One such triazine derivative, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium hydrogen oxalate (DMTHO), was produced in this work, and the structure was optimised using density functional theory's B3LYP functional and the basis set 6-31++G (d,p). Additionally, the chemical underwent in-depth research using molecular docking analysis, Hirshfeld, and density functional theory.

The theoretical and experimental vibrational studies for poly thiourea silver nitrate (2:1) complex using DFT method are performed on the basis of experimental data. During the geometry optimization process one equilibrium structure was found. The Mulliken charges, harmonic vibrational frequencies, Infrared and Raman intensities were calculated on the basis of quantum chemical density functional calculations using firefly (PC GAMESS) Version 7.
