Experimental and theoretical studies of (E)-2-(2-hydroxystyryl)-6-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one.

Crystal structure of the title compound, C26H21N3O5, has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and X-ray single crystal determination. The molecular geometry was also calculated by using Gaussian 03 software and structure was optimized by using HF and DFT/B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) basis sets in ground state. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometries of the title compound indicated that the X-ray parameters agree with the theoretically obtained values. It was seen that R(2) value changes from 0.015 to 0.021 Å for bond length and angle. The calculated vibrational frequencies are also in good agreement with the experimental results. The (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts values of (E)-2-(2-hydroxystyryl)-6-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one molecule have been calculated by the GIAO method. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEP), Mulliken charges and Nonlinear Optical effects (NLO) analysis of the compound have been calculated by the HF and B3LYP/6-31G(d) methods.
