•Mulliken and MEP analyses are used to identify reactive sites in PDPOTSC.•NBO analysis indicates that the hyperconjucation interaction takes place between LP (1) N52 atom to π∗ C3N51 and π∗ C53S54.•The small energy gap indicates that charge transfer takes place within the molecule.•Higher first hyperpolarizabilities value shows that the molecule has good NLO behavior.
In this study, the molecular structure and vibrational spectra of 3t-pentyl2r,6c-diphenylpiperidin-4-one thiosemicarbazone (PDPOTSC) were studied. The ground-state molecular geometry was ascertained by using the density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP method using 6-31++G(d,p) as a basis set. The vibrational (FT-IR and FT-Raman) spectra of PDPOTSC were computed using DFT/B3LYP and HF methods with 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. The fundamental vibrations were assigned on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED ⩾ 10%) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) methods PQS program. The electrical dipole moment (μ) and first hyperpolarizability (βo) values have been computed using DFT/B3LYP and HF methods. The calculated result (βo) shows that the title molecule might have nonlinear optical (NLO) behavior. Atomic charges of C, N, S and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) were calculated using B3LYP/6-31G++(d,p). The HOMO–LUMO energies were calculated and natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis has also been carried out.
