The optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies, corresponding vibrational assignments of 3-(adamantan-1-yl)-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione have been investigated experimentally and theoretically using Gaussian09 software package. Potential energy distribution of normal modes vibrations was done using GAR2PED program. The HOMO and LUMO analysis are used to determine the charge transfer within the molecule. The stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interaction and charge delocalization has been analyzed using NBO analysis. The calculated geometrical parameters are in agreement with the XRD data. The calculated first hyperpolarizability is high and the title compound is an attractive candidate for further studies in nonlinear optical applications. To estimate the chemical reactivity of the molecule, the molecular electrostatic potential is calculated for the optimized geometry of the molecule.
