QUANTUM-CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS OF CURCUMIN AND SOME METAL COMPLEXES BASED ON IT
Using the semi-empirical PM7 method in combination with the SPARKLE model, the structure of isomeric forms and the energetics of conformational and tautomeric transformations of the curcumin molecule were calculated, the geometry of the ligandand transition metal complexes (Zn(II), Dy(III), Ag(I)) b...

| description |
Using the semi-empirical PM7 method in combination with the SPARKLE model, the structure of isomeric forms and the energetics of conformational and tautomeric transformations of the curcumin molecule were calculated, the geometry of the ligandand transition metal complexes (Zn(II), Dy(III), Ag(I)) based on it were optimized: ZnCur2∙2H2O, ZnCur2∙Phen, DyСur3∙3H2O, AgZnСur3∙H2O∙AcOH. The energetic characteristics of the compounds were calculated, described and analyzed, such as the total energy of the molecules, the enthalpy of formation, the dipole moment, the energies of the highest occupied molecular orbital (ЕHOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ЕLUMO), the ionization potential, the electron affinity, the rigidity, the softness and the main bondlengths and the charges on the atoms.
