Molecular structures and vibrational wavenumbers of
2-[4-(4-ethylbenzamido)phenyl]benzothiazole (BSN-009) and
2-[4-(4-nitrobenzamido)phenyl]benzothiazole (BSN-011) were determined by quantum
chemical calculations, Infrared and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Vibrational
modes were assigned by potential energy distributions (PED). Potential energy
scan and conformational analysis were performed. Energy gap, ionization
potential, electron affinity and electronegativity descriptors
have been obtained from frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO).
Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces have also been
plotted for predicting the chemical reactivity of both compounds.
Additionally, Mulliken atomic charges were discussed. All calculations were
performed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP exchange
correlation functional and 6–311++G(d,p) basis set. Moreover, based on the drug
likeliness descriptors and bioactivity scores of these compounds, it was found
that BSN-011 could be a good drug candidate. By using Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), melting points of the compounds were obtained
and the purities were calculated with van’t Hoff equation.
