Abstract

The present research employs density functional theory(DFT) computations to analyze the structure and energy of complexes formed by psoralen drug with alkali(Li+, Na+, K+) and alkaline earth(Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+) metal cations. The computations are conducted on M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory in the gas phase and solution. The Atoms in Molecules(AIM) and natural bond orbital(NBO) analyses are applied to evaluating the characterization of bonds and the atomic charge distribution, respectively. The results show that the absolute values of binding energies decrease with going from the gas phase to the solution. Furthermore, the considered complexes in the water(as a polar solvent) are more stable than the CCl4(as a non-polar solvent). The DFT based chemical reactivity indices, such as molecular orbital energies, chemical potential, hardness and softness are also investigated. The outcomes show that the considered complexes have high chemical stability and low reactivity from the gas phase to the solution. Finally, charge density distributions and chemical reactive sites of a typical complex explored in this study are obtained by molecular electrostatic potential surface.
