ABSTRACT
The current study describes a simple, rapid and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Excoecaria agallocha (E. agallocha) leaf extract as stabilizer, bioreductant and capping agent. Synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Generation of AgNPs was initially confirmed with the color change from yellow to dark brown which produces intense absorbance spectra at 440 nm in UV-Vis spectroscopy without any shifting of peaks. Further, XRD pattern confirms that the synthesized AgNPs was face centered cubic (fcc) crystalline in structure with an average size of 20 nm. On the other hand, FTIR spectrum reveals that the active metabolites like water soluble phenolic compounds, flavonoids, methylene groups, amides and carboxylate groups. These active biocompounds plays a vital role in the reduction of Ag+ into their nanoscale values, it also acts as a stabilizing and surface functionalization agent. FESEM micrographs of synthesized AgNPs shows spherical and hexagonal shaped well dispersed particles in the dimension ranging between 23 and 42 nm. EDAX confirms the presence of silver (Ag) as the major constituent element without any impurities; also substantiate the stability of generated AgNPs. The biomedical insights of nanoparticles (NPs) were assessed through radical scavenging and antibacterial properties. Additionally, synthesized AgNPs was also exhibits an excellent cytotoxic effect against human breast carcinoma cell lines (MCF-7). This study proves that synthesized AgNPs can be developed as a potential nano-drug formulation to combat pathogenic disease and also for the expansion of breast cancer therapy.
ABSTRACT
The molecular vibrations of o-chlorobenzohydrazide (OCBH) have been investigated in polycrystalline sample, at room temperature, by recording Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and FT-Raman spectroscopies. The complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes was carried out using the experimental data and quantum chemical studies. The observed vibrational data were compared with the wavenumbers derived theoretically for the optimized geometry of the compound from the HF and DFT/B3LYP calculations employing 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts have been simulated. Thermodynamic properties have been calculated at different temperatures. HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been calculated. The intramolecular contacts have been interpreted using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) and Natural Localized Molecular Orbital (NLMO) analysis.

This work presents the characterization of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (abbreviated as THLP) by quantum chemical calculations and spectral techniques. The spectroscopic properties were investigated by FT-IR, FT-Raman and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) and FT-Raman (3500-10 cm(-1)) spectra in the solid phase were recorded for THLP. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO solution. The energies of THLP are obtained for all the eight conformers form density functional theory (DFT) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set calculations. From the computational results, C1 conformer is identified as the most stable conformer of THLP. The theoretical wavenumbers were scaled and compared with experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra. The complete assignments were performed on the basis of the experimental results and potential energy distribution (PED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method in terms of fundamental modes. The values of the total dipole moment (µ) and the first order hyperpolarizability (ß) of the investigated compound were computed using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations. The calculated HOMO-LUMO energies reveal charges transfer occurs within the molecule. The isotropic chemical shift computed by (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of the THLF, calculated using the gauge invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method also shows good agreement with experimental observations.
