Substituent and solvent effects on UV‐visible absorption spectra of liquid crystalline disubstituted biphenylcyclohexane derivatives – a computational approach

Abstract: Key words liquid crystals, absorption spectra, oscillator strength.A computational approach has been carried out on liquid crystalline disubstituted biphenylcyclohexanes (BCHs) of general formula R-C 6 H 10 -C 6 H 4 -C 6 H 4 -X with R: C 3 H 7 ; X: H (BCH30) and R: C 5 H 11 ; X: CN (BCH5CN) using the CNDO/S + CI and INDO/S + CI methods. These methods have been employed to calculate and analyze the spectral shifts, and absorbance measurements in UV-visible range of the systems. The electronic transitions, absor… Show more

“…The resistance of a molecule to exchange electron density with the environment is defined as the chemical hardness and when the finite difference approximation is applied, the following simple expression is obtained: (5) With the substitution of I by E HOMO and A by E LUMO can be expressed as: (6) Also the chemical hardness, chemical potential of the molecule was found to be increased, the chemical softness of the molecule was found to be decreased as the dielectric constants of the solvents increased from gas phase to water and was confirmed to decrease as the dielectric constant of the solvents increased from ethanol to water.…”

“…So, Iopamidol commonly used for CT, may be also considered as a contrast agent for Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications. 4 The geometry, dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, and other molecular properties can be affected by the polarity of the solvent due to variable interactions with the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO) 6,7 and so the polarity of the solvent can influence the stability and reactivity of the molecule. 8 They can be obtained by quantum chemical calculation without laboratory measurements, thus saving time and equipment, reducing safety and disposal concerns.…”

“…The electronic structures, excitation energies, and excited state wavefunctions have been calculated coupled with the configuration interaction (CI) single level of approximation including all p/p * single excitations. This has been found an adequate to determine the UVevisible absorption spectra [31,32] provided that suitable parameterizations are used. In practice, it requires a comparison of different approximations to gain higher level understanding.…”
