Vibrational and UV spectra, first order hyperpolarizability, NBO and HOMO–LUMO analysis of 4-chloro-N-(2-methyl-2,3-dihydroindol-1-yl)-3-sulfamoyl-benzamide

•Spectroscopic properties were examined by FT-IR and FT-Raman techniques.•The vibrations were assigned with PED.•NLO and NBO analysis of the title molecule were studied.•HOMO and LUMO energies and MEP distribution of the molecule were calculated.•Thermodynamic properties were investigated.

In this work, the vibrational spectral analysis was carried out by using FT-Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy in the range 4000–100 cm−1 and 4000–400 cm−1, respectively, for 4-chloro-N-(2-methyl-2,3-dihydroindol-1-yl)-3-sulfamoyl-benzamide (C16H16O3N3SCl) molecule. Theoretical calculations were performed by density functional theory (DFT) method using 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. The complete vibrational assignments of wavenumbers were made on the basis of potential energy distribution (PED). The results of the calculations were applied to simulated spectra of the title compound, which show excellent agreement with observed spectra. The frontier orbital energy gap and dipole moment illustrates the high reactivity of the title molecule. The first order hyperpolarizability (β0) and related properties (μ, α, and Δα) of the molecule were also calculated. Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions and charge delocalization has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The UV–vis spectrum of the compound was recorded in the region 200–400 nm in ethanol and electronic properties such as excitation energies, oscillator strength and wavelength were calculated by TD-DFT/B3LYP method. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and HOMO–LUMO energy levels are also constructed. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound were calculated at different temperatures.
