Özet

The torsional barriers and nonlinear optical properties for all phenylpyridine molecules were calculated by using Hartree-Fock (HF) theory and Becke three-parameter functional (B3LYP) hybrid approaches within the density functional theory framework with the 6-31++G(d, p) basis set, and via the GAUSSIAN 98W. The torsional barrier computations show that dihedral angle between the two rings increases with the number of H-H vicinal interactions and torsional barriers with dihedral angles for 3-, 4-phenylpyridines are too similar for both HF and B3LYP level calculations. Also, HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, polarizabilities, anisotropy of polarizabilities, and static hyperpolarizabilities are calculated as a function of dihedral angle between benzene and pyridine rings. The study reveals that the phenylpyridines show very low nonlinear optical properties. The calculated torsional barrier, equilibrium dihedral angle and molecular dipole moment results for these molecules were compared with available experimental and other results determining from different computational methods.
