Theoretical investigation of spectroscopic properties of hydrazone derivative compound

In this study, the structure of the HL ligand, which was previously synthesized using 4-chloroacetophenone and 2-chloro-6-hydrazinopyridine reagents, was theoretically examined. The molecular structural properties, FT-IR, UV and NMR data of the compound were determined through ab-initio calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. Additionally, HOMO-LUMO analyses, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and 2D contour maps of the structure were obtained with this method. Theoretical and experimental data were compared and it was determined that they showed a high correlation.
