Abstract

•FT-IR and FT-Raman spectral studies.•Total energy distribution analysis.•Prediction of hyperpolarizability.•Determination of band gap energy.•Molecular electrostatic potential.

The (E)-1-((pyridine-2-yl)methylene)semicarbazide (PMSC) was synthesized. The experimental and theoretical study on molecular structure and vibrational spectra were carried out. The FT-IR (400–4000 cm−1), FT-Raman (50–3500 cm−1) and UV–Vis (200–500 nm) spectra of PMSC were recorded. The geometric structure, conformational analysis, vibrational wavenumbers of PMSC in the ground state have been calculated using B3LYP method of 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The complete vibrational assignments were made on the basis of TED, calculated by SQM method. The Non-linear optical activity was measured by means of first order hyperpolarizability calculation and π-electrons of conjugative bond in the molecule. The intra-molecular charge transfer, mode hyperconjugative interaction and molecular stabilization energies were calculated. The band gap energies between occupied and unoccupied molecular orbitals were analyzed; it proposes lesser band gap with more reactivity. To understand the electronic properties of this molecule the Mulliken charges were also calculated.
