Theoretical, Spectroscopic and biological studies of some pyridine thiol derivatives

Research Abstract

The electronic structure of 6-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile (2-mercapto-6-phenylpyridine-3-carbonitrile) and its some derivatives have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. The choice of these compounds was motivated by their biological importance and relevance. The corresponding proposed structures of all studied derivatives in this work were confirmed by FT-IR spectrophotometer, 1HNMR spectra and XRD patterns. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) has been used to investigate the effect of substituents with different strengths of all studied compounds on the geometry structures, natural bond orbital (NBO) properties, electrostatic potential (ESP) and the global properties such as (the chemical hardness (η), global softness (S), and electronegativity (χ) by analysis of the charge distribution and extent of charge
