ABSTRACT
The structure of sulfathiazole-4-nitrobenzoic acid (STZBA) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The crystal was stabilized by C–H…O, N–H…O, and S–O…S intermolecular interaction along with C–H…π and π…π interactions. The experimental FT-IR, FT-Raman, and UV-Vis spectra of STZBA were recorded and the results were compared with quantum chemical computation using the DFT method. Molecular electron density, topology, and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis were used to explain the strength of the interaction. The molecular electrostatic potential and Fukui function of STZBA was determined to give a visual representation of charge distribution and provide information about the electrophilic and nucleophilic site of the molecule. Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out to analyze the stability of the crystal structure. The antimicrobial activity of STZBA was determined against anticancer, bacterial strain E. coli and fungal stain Candida albicans and Sars-cov. Molecular docking analysis was performed with antimicrobial proteins to confirm the bioactivity of the molecule and drug likeness factors were calculated to comprehend the biological assets of STZBA. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation result explains the protein stability, ligand properties, and protein-ligand interactions. The compounds were assessed for their structural, physic-chemical, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological properties.

ABSTRACT
The present study aims to provide deeper knowledge about the structural, vibrational, chemical, antimicrobial activity, molecular dynamic simulation and drug likeness of synthesized compound 4-Methoxy-N-(nitrobenzylidene)-aniline. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 4-Methoxy-N-(nitrobenzylidene)-aniline have been recorded in the powder form in the region 4000–500 cm−1 and 3500–50 cm−1. The vibrational analysis were carried out with the help of normal coordinate analysis (NCA). The molecular geometry, hydrogen bonding interaction and vibrational frequencies have been calculated using the density functional method (DFT/B3LYP) with 6-311 G (D) basis set. The natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecule (AIM), and Hirshfeld surface analysis and RDG were applied to evaluate the relative strength of hydrogen bond interactions and represent their effect on the stabilities of molecular arrangements. Related molecules were compared by computation in order to understand the effect of non-bonded interactions (i.e. intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding). The HOMO and LUMO analysis was used to determine the charge transfer within the molecule. Furthermore, the in vitro antimicrobial study was carried out for the title compound against Aspergillus niger and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity was confirmed on the compounds with molecular docking (A.niger, S.aureus, Homosapians, Sars-Cov-19 and anticancer) studies and molecular dynamic simulation. The non-linear optical (NLO) properties were also analyzed for the molecules.
