Salicylic acids as anti-inflammatory agents were analyzed by ab initio, quantum chemical methods to study the possible modes of binding to the receptor. As the result of multiple regression analysis of reactivity indices and interpretation of normalized frontier orbital charges of drugs, potency seems to be related to energy of HOMO and LUMO at the 5 position of benzene ring, and in the 5-phenyl substituted case, the para position of substituting ring is important. The binding occurs first at the positive site of its receptor. The charge density exhibited by the frontier orbitals suggests that charge moves from receptor site to carboxyl group. The electrostatic orientation effect makes an important contribution to the binding of the active molecules to their receptors. Also the electrostatic potential model may be able to rationalize the source of activity or inactivity of the drugs under investigation.

Ab initio quantum chemical molecular orbital calculations have been performed for the unimolecular decomposition of methacrylonitrile ($CH_3C(CN)=CH_2$), especially for HCN and $H_2$ molecular elimination channels. Structures and energies of the reactants, products, and relevant species along the individual reaction pathways were determined by MP2 gradient optimization and MP4 single point energy calculations. Direct four-center elimination of HCN and three-center elimination of H2 channels were identified. In addition, H or CN migration followed by HCN or H2 elimination channels via the methylcyanoethylidene intermediate was also identified. Unlike the case of crotonitrile previously studied, in which the dominant decomposition process was the direct three-center elimination of HCN, the most important reaction pathway should be the direct threecenter elimination of $H_2$ in the case of methacrylonitrile.

The conformations and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether (1) and its alkyl ammonium complexes have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G quantum mechanics method. The cone conformation was found to be most stable for free host 1. We hav e determined the binding site of these host-guest complexes focusing on the crown-6-ether or p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene pocket of the cone conformation of host molecule 1. The primary binding site of host 1 for the recognition of alkyl ammonium guests was confirmed to be the central part of the crown moiety of cone conformation. The complexation energy calculations revealed that the ammonium cation without alkyl group showed the highest complexation efficiency when combined with host 1, that is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.

The geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies, and relative energies of H$_2$(A$_{n+1}$X$_{2n}$)H$_2$ (A=C or Si, X=O or S, n = 1-2) oligomers have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques with large basis sets. The equilibrium geometries have been optimized at the self-consistent field (SCF), the coupled cluster with single and double excitation (CCSD), and the CCSD with connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] levels of theory. The highest level of theory employed in this study is cc-pVTZ CCSD(T). Harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined at the SCF level of theory with various basis sets and confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the dimerization and the relative energies.

Optimized geometrical structure, atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential, nonlinear optical (NLO) effects and thermodynamic properties of the title compound N-(2,5-methylphenyl)salicylaldimine (I) have been investigated by using ab initio quantum chemical computational studies. Calculated results showed that the enol form of (I) is more stable than keto form. The solvent effect was investigated for obtained molecular energies, hardneses and the atomic charge distributions of (I). Natural bond orbital and frontier molecular orbital analysis of the title compound were also performed. The total molecular dipole moment (${\mu}$), linear polarizability (${\alpha}$), and first-order hyperpolarizability (${\beta}$) were calculated by B3LYP method with 6-31G(d), 6-31+G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p), 6-311+G(d) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets to investigate the NLO properties of the compound (I). The standard thermodynamic functions were obtained for the title compound with the temperature ranging from 200 to 450 K.

The electronic transitions from the ground state to low-lying excited states of CF₃OH have been investigated using high level ab initio quantum mechanical techniques. Also the possible photodissociation procedures of CF₃OH have been considered. The highest level employed in this study is TZP CCSD(T) level of theory. The possible four low-lying excited states can result by the excitation of the lone pair electron (n) in oxygen to σ$^*$ molecular orbital in C-O or O-H bond. The vertical transition (n → σ$^*$) energy is predicted to be 220.5 kcal/mol (130 nm) at TZ2P CISD level to theory. The bond dissociation energies of CF₃OH to CF₃O +H and CF₃+OH have been predicted to be 119.5 kcal/mol and 114.1 kcal/mol, respectively, at TZP CCSD level of theory. In addition, the transition state for the unimolecular decomposition of CF₃OH into CF₂O + HF has been examined. The activation energy and energy separation for this decomposition have been computed to be 43.6kcal/mol and 5.0 kcal/mol including zero-point vibrational energy corrections at TZP CCSD(T) level of theory.ed phenols were also estimated.

The structures and energies of p-tert-butylcalix[4]crown-6-ether(1) in various conformers and their alkyl ammonium complexes have been calculated by ab initio HF/6-31G quantum mechanics method. We have tried to obtain the relative affinity of partial-cone and 1,3-alternate conformers of 1 for alkyl ammonium guests by comparison with its cone-shaped analogue. We have also calculated the relative complexation efficiency of these host-guest complexes focusing on the binding sites of $crown-\sigma-enther$ moiety or benzene-rings pocket of the host molecule 1. These calculations revealed that the crown moiey has better complexation efficiency than upper rim part of calyx[4]arene that is in similar trend to the cone-shaped complexes.

1,2-와 1,3-dioxetane$(C_2O_2H_4)$, 그리고 1,3-cyclodisiloxane$(Si_2O_2H_4)$에 대하여 높은 이론 수준에서 분자구조, 진동주파수, 그리고 에너지 등을 계산하였다. 위의 모든 분자들에 대하여 TZ2P CCSD(T)의 이론 수준까지 분자구조를 최적화 하였으며. 진동주파수는 여러 basis set에서 SCF 방법으로 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 최적화된 분자구조들에 대한 진동주파수가 모두 실수(real number)로 예측됨으로서, 제안된 모든 분자구조가 local minimum 구조임을 확인하였다. 1,2- 및 1,3-dioxetane들과 cyclodisiloxane이 두 분자의 aldehyde와 silanone으로 해리 될 때의 중합에너지를 zero-point vibrational energy(ZPVE)를 고려하여 계산하고, 안정성을 비교하였다.
