Structural, spectral, NLO and MEP analysis of the [MgO2Ti2(OPri)6], [MgO2Ti2(OPri)2(acac)4] and [MgO2Ti2(OPri)2(bzac)4] by DFT method

• The geometrical parameters are calculated for heterobimetallic complexes.
• The complex geometry is obtained for the mentioned complexes.
• Theoretical spectroscopic studies are performed on mentioned complexes.
• The active sites and NLO properties of mentioned complexes are investigated.
• B3LYP/LANL2DZ basis set is used for all calculations.

Quantum chemical calculations are performed on [MgO2Ti2(OPri)6] and [MgO2Ti2(OPri)2(L)4] complexes. L is acetylacetonate (acac) and benzoylacetonate (bzac) anion. The crystal structures of these complexes have not been obtained as experimentally but optimized structures of these complexes are obtained as theoretically in this study. Universal force field (UFF) and DFT/B3LYP method are used to obtain optimized structures. Theoretical spectral analysis (IR, 1H and 13C NMR) is compared with their experimental values. A good agreement is found between experimental and theoretical spectral analysis. These results mean that the optimized structures of mentioned complexes are appropriate. Additionally, the active sites of mentioned complexes are determined by molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) diagrams and non-linear optical (NLO) properties are investigated.
