Experimental and theoretical studies of (E)-2-(2-hydroxystyryl)-6-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one

• The vibrational frequencies of the compound have been calculated by HF and DFT/B3LYP methods.
• The DFT and HF theoretical results were compared with the experimental results.
• HOMO and LUMO energies, absorption wavelength and excitation energies were calculated.

Crystal structure of the title compound, C26H21N3O5, has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and X-ray single crystal determination. The molecular geometry was also calculated by using Gaussian 03 software and structure was optimized by using HF and DFT/B3LYP method with the 6–31G(d) basis sets in ground state. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental geometries of the title compound indicated that the X-ray parameters agree with the theoretically obtained values. It was seen that R2 value changes from 0.015 to 0.021 Å for bond length and angle. The calculated vibrational frequencies are also in good agreement with the experimental results. The 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts values of (E)-2-(2-hydroxystyryl)-6-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one molecule have been calculated by the GIAO method. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential maps (MEP), Mulliken charges and Nonlinear Optical effects (NLO) analysis of the compound have been calculated by the HF and B3LYP/6–31G(d) methods.
