Quantum computational investigation into structural, spectroscopic, topological and electronic properties of L-histidinium-L-tartrate hemihydrate: Nonlinear optical organic single crystal.

For the first time, a systematic investigation of optimization in the geometrical, vibrational, natural bonding orbital (NBO), electronic, linear and nonlinear optical properties, and Hirshfeld surface analysis for the L-histidinium-l-tartrate hemihydrate (HT) crystal is reported by employing the density functional theory (DFT). The geometrical parameters and vibrational frequencies obtained from the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory are in good agreement with the experimental values. The presence of strong hydrogen bonding interactions in the molecule causes an intense absorption peak in the infrared spectrum below 2000 cm-1. Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) has been used to evaluate the topology of the electron density of a particular molecule to identify the critical points of the system using Multiwfn 3.8. These studies included ELF, LOL, and RDG studies. A time-dependent DFT approach is employed to obtain the excitation energies, oscillator strengths, and UV-Vis spectra for different solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, and water. The NBO analysis of the chosen compound, HT, is performed in terms of atom hybridization and electronic structure. The HOMO-LUMO energies and other associated electronic parameters are also computed. The nucleophilic sites are identified from MEP and Fukui functions analysis. The electrostatic potential and total density of states spectra of HT are discussed in detail. The theoretically obtained polarizability and first order hyperpolarizability values confirm that the grown material HT has NLO efficiency 15.771 times that of urea, and is proposed to be an exceptional nonlinear optical material. In addition, Hirshfeld surface analysis is performed to determine the inter-and intramolecular interactions in the title compound.

Additionally, the chemical underwent in-depth research using molecular docking analysis, Hirshfeld, and density functional theory. The electron densities distribution in the atoms is provided by natural orbital analysis, which also characterises the chemical bonding and reaction behaviour of the compound. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies indicate that charge transfer occurs inside the molecule. Chemical reactivity traits including HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, softness, total energy, chemical hardness, electronic chemical potential, and electrophilicity of bioactive substances have all been subjected to analytical investigation. Total dipole moment (µ) and first-order hyperpolarizability (ß) measurements for the investigated chemical indicate that DMTHO may exhibit microscopic nonlinear optical (NLO) behaviour with nonzero values. A quantitative description about intermolecular interactions in the produced crystal is provided by the Hirshfeld surface analysis.
